Embedded E-cast

From quad-band programmable cellular basestations, to interoperable civilian radios, to the military's vision of the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), we look at hardware, software and system solutions for SDRs. .

Executives and marketing professionals learn what the editors are planning for 2008 for the following list of publications including the unveiling of the 2008 editorial calendars, new E-cast features, and new media products. .

The deployment of the all-IP network is well underway. Join us in this E-cast to understand the underlying technologies and opportunities.

We intuitively accept that airplanes will not fall out of the sky, and we expect that software written for defense and life critical systems is robust and secure. But we want ever increasing action from devices with ever decreasing size, weight, power, and cost.

AdvancedTCA has moved in a few years from creation, to the lab, through customer testing and is now beginning large-scale deployment. Join us for this Open Systems Publishing E-cast and find out what is exciting carriers, telecom equipment manufacturers, and vendors of AdvancedTCA equipment.

Linux offers enormous advantages as an embedded device operating platform - if you can safely manage the risks. Whether you are just starting to consider Linux or your engineering team has extensive experience developing Linux devices, producing increasingly complex devices depends heavily on "best practices" that incorporate lessons learned.

Developers of embedded devices need speed on two fronts: speed in their devices and speed in their development time. The rewards for having both are clear: advanced functionality drives product adoption and adoption drives revenue.

After watching a wave of multicore processors announced in the last couple years, now I'm seeing the pendulum swing to new software that finally enables developers to really take advantage of them. Tools are hitting the market allowing developers to deploy applications on embedded multicore processors without handcrafting, unleashing the performance potential and helping get to market more quickly.

What open standard board format has dozens of vendors, leverages technology from commercial markets, and still offers RAS, QoS, low cost, and an outstanding roadmap? Why, the AdvancedMC-based MicroTCA, of course. This E-cast provides an overview of MicroTCA and showcases some of the standard's capabilities and growing ecosystem.

This E-cast will give you valuable insights into the increasing challenges imposed by today's mixed-language, varied levels of safety and security, multi-core, multi-partitioned, multi-execution mode applications and the available solutions to their growing complexity. .

A discussion of how embedded hardware modules, operating systems, development tools, and engineering methodologies ALL must be designed with "mission criticality" in mind during war time. In this E-cast, we will also take a look at some of the techniques employed by leading embedded systems and tools vendors to assure that front line equipment employs best practices to assure maximum lethality against the adversarywith maximum survivability to our own personnel.

The Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) is an extremely high-performance signal processing chip currently under evaluation for multi-function radars, including detection, tracking, jamming, NCTR, raid assessment, missile data linking, mapping and communications. The key issue in parallel processing and fast context switching is the ability to combine extremely powerful hardware with efficient auto-code software (GEDAE).
