Introduction

The Pacemaker Grand Challenge is the first certification challenge problem issued by the Software Certification Consortium (SCC). It is being hosted by the McMaster University's Software Quality Research Lab (SQRL). More detailed documentation on the Pacemaker Challenge can be found at SQRL.

Who's Involved in the Pacemaker Challenge

The Software Certification Consortium has formed a panel to create submission guidelines and judge submission. Current panel members are:

Panelist Position Institution
Rick Chapman General Engineer Division of Electrical and Software Engineering Office of Science & Engineering Laboratories, Center for Devices & Radiological Health, U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Brian Larson Research Scientist Boston Scientific
Mark Lawford Associate Professor Software Quality Research Lab (SQRL), McMaster University
David Tremaine CEO Systemware Innovation (SWI)
Alan Wassyng Associate Professor Software Quality Research Lab (SQRL), McMaster University


People who are known to be working on the Pacemaker Challenge:

Researcher Institution Country Involvement
John Fitzgerald School of Computing Science, Newcastle University UK Purchased board, Wrote paper about the pacemaker at FM2008
Insup Lee Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Pennsylvania USA Purchased boards, member of SCC
Dennis Peters Electrical and Computer Engineering, Memorial University of Newfoundland Canada Purchased boards

Pacemaker Hardware Reference Platform

The hardware reference platform, developed by students at the University of Minnesota, is based upon an 8-bit PIC18F4520 microcontroller. It include analog filtering for the input signals from the atrial and ventricle as well as programmable resistors to set the sense thresholds and pace amplitude, external 16 bit A/D converters to allow real-time ECG data to be transmitted from the board, a magnetic reed switch (for magnet mode) , a MAX232 for RS-232 serial communication with a PC acting as a Device Controller-Monitor (DCM) and an accelerometer for rate adaptive modes.

A number of the parts used in the original design are not readliy available so we have update the design and produced 5 prototype boards for testing that were used at McMaster University for the Software Engineering Senior Thesis course. We have now produced an additional 45 board for sale at cost (approx. $350 CDN + shipping) to interested students, researchers and industry people. The boards come with cables to connect directly to a Microchip ICD2 or PICKit2 programmer. You will need to supply your own 12V DC/150+mA Power supply and serial cable.

See the Pacemaker Hardware Reference Platform Details for schematic, Bill Of Materials (BOM) and other details.
