Embedded E-cast

The demands of aerospace and defense applications have been driven by size, weight, and power (SWaP). The trends in this industry will be identified, and the ways Power Architecture meets the requirements of control and signal processing in trusted computing architecture will be addressed.

Rapid changes in the military equipment market are driving system designers to leverage commercial products and technologies for their next-generation platforms. The ideal technology would offer.

The Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS) has been adopted worldwide by major air force, army, marine and navy programs as an open architecture standard for integrating real-time tactical systems with each other and with enterprise applications such as command and control systems. This webinar will introduce the DDS standard and show how it significantly reduces software lifecycle costs with a net-centric approach to integrating mission-critical embedded systems.

Military and defense systems development brings together a challenging and unique blend of mission-critical platforms, reliable software, and sophisticated display and user input software. This is even more true when the system must meet safety-critical requirements per DO-178, ARINC-653, or other certification criteria.

Multi-core processors are quickly taking hold in the market. New device designs are started every day with the intention of leveraging the power multi-core processors deliver.

Programming on legacy embedded, real-time platforms often implies developing multithreaded applications that run in a single address space. The implications, obstacles, and risks are far reaching, time consuming and often severe.

Developers of highly reliable systems are in a seeming Catch-22 between quality and speed. Traditional methods of developing critical applications rigorous testing, coding standards and peer reviews help assure quality at the expense of developer time.

This webinar covers the proliferation of multi-core CPUs and the special challenges they present to developers of safety-critical avionics software. Industry experts from DDC-I, (a supplier of software and professional services for mission- and safety-critical applications for over 30 years) will highlight real-time operating system technology, procedures and tools that will allow safety-critical software developers to overcome these challenges and unleash the power of multi-core CPUs.

Wind River's VxWorks 653 Platform, now in use in over 40 aircraft by over 100 customers, recently achieved another success with the first flight of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, where VxWorks 653 is the foundation of the Common Core System (CCS) provided by GE Aviation, supporting more than a dozen hosted function suppliers and over 70 applications. To achieve this challenging industry milestone, Wind River, its customers, and its partners created functionality that far exceeds that of a traditional avionics operating system.

While there might be fewer cars built for the next couple years, there are more and more electronics and software in every car every day. Standards such as AUTOSAR, MISRA, SAE J2640, LIN, FlexRay, MOST, and others are gaining in usage.

Running such applications in a cloud computing environment requires the hosting system to be configured and reconfigured on demand - operations that introduce the following challenges.

In this unique roundtable event, the leaders behind OpenVPX gather to discuss the benefits of VPX technology, the need for interoperability, and what's being done to define OpenVPX working profiles which maintain full compliance with VPX but allow vendors and users to design hardware that works together. You'll get up to the minute news on the current state of the OpenVPX specifications which underwent a half dozen drafts and peer reviews before becoming VITA 65 .

Join RTI and Wind River for an informative free webinar on industry-leading technologies for developing and deploying real-time distributed systems using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions requiring security and safety qualifications. Companies responsible for developing safe and secure military and civilian infrastructure systems need to use the latest advances in technology for ensuring they comply with industry standards and current and future security and safety demands.

Join Intel, Advantech and Kontron to find out how Intel technology can help you meet today's tough design challenges. If you're faced with creating medical devices that adhere to low-power and other stringent requirements, be sure to attend this webinar.

Software that fails in any way is expensive, as much as $300B annually according to industry surveys: product recalls or fielding upgrades can impact revenues, profits, reputations, and the possibility of repeat business. Being efficient in achieving software quality is important, and there are new methodologies and tools to help do that.
