Pre-Register Today for your Guest badge: www.rtecc.com/ottawa <http://www.rtecc.com/ottawa> Attend any Technical Seminars you wish (no early sign up needed, decide when arrive and go sit in): 9:00 - 9:45 am (2 tracks) Avoiding the Most Common Software Development Goofs by Coverity As embedded software becomes larger and more complex, developers are increasingly challenged to deliver better-quality code. Having worked with thousands of developers and scanned hundreds of millions of lines of code, we will present the most common embedded software coding errors. We will also show developers how to avoid these mistakes with good coding practices. Linux for Embedded Systems by LynuxWorks In this session we will demonstrate how you can develop with Linux in all your embedded designs, from general purpose, to hard real-time, to safety critical and secure systems. You will learn how to develop multiple applications using the same API and with the same tools regardless of the operating systems requirements for the end product. 9:20 am - 10:05 am Cell BE Architecture in Embedded Computing Applications by Mercury Computer Systems Find out exactly how the introduction of the Cell BE promises to revolutionize compute intensive embedded applications such as cryptography, media, and scientific applications like signal and image processing. We will show examples of how it will alter the landscape in numerically intensive applications. Mastering MDA Composable Systems Bouillabaisse by Objective Interface Bring your requirements and tools and together we'll create a savory real-time dish, steeped in technology yet palatable to management. Using the Finest Ingredients: 2C Real-time CORBA base, 2C Data Distribution Services, 1 Part Partitioning Comm. System, 1 Dash comm. Stack-your choice 10:15 am - 11:00 am In-Memory TimeMachine* & TraceEdge by Green Hills Software We will present on the post mortem debugging using various schemas for capturing trace data. See three new data collection options for the TimeMachine debugging suite for collecting post mortem data on ANY system. MicroTCA - A System Architecture for All Industries by Motorola We will outline how Motorola's Application Enabled Platforms concept based on uTCA, along with open software standards, and some legacy hardware can be used to develop an application that works on a variety of platforms for both telecom and non-telecom industries. 10:30 am - 11:15 am Building Data-Optimized Embedded Appl. in ¨ù of the Time by Encirq Attend and discover how we are pioneers in data-centric software development for intelligent devices, enabling a new era of data-driven capabilities and services through unique application framework that provides a more efficient approach to building the software that powers award-winning products. Building Graphical User Interfaces by Tilcon Software Learn how to save time developing your next GUI, and how you can create stunning graphic user interfaces that can be moved across OS like VxWorks, QNX, WinCE, XP & Linux without code change. 11:20 am - 12:05 pm Standard Sockets as an API for Low Latency Real Time Communication by Dolphin Interconnect Solutions The high performance Sockets layer is used in "all" communication software and is supported by all interconnect hardware. So why is Sockets not used more? Find out details and how interconnect technology and their SuperSockets library provide a new high performance intercommunication option. Das U-Boot Development & Debugging Workbench On-Chip Debugging by Wind River We will help you with the complex task of installing and booting embedded Linux -- learn tips and techniques of bringing up and debugging a new reference board. You'll discover the technical features of U-Boot source code, including its general features, layout, and how to acquire it. 11:30 am - 12:15 pm In-Memory Database Systems: Strategies for High Availability & Durability by McObject Embedded systems put requirements on databases that are not well served by conventional DBMS. In-memory databases have emerged as a popular solution for embedded systems, offering efficient CPU utilization and superior predictability and performance. However, an in-memory database is vulnerable. We will explore strategies to overcome vulnerability, specifically High Availability and Transaction Logging The Transition to Multi-Core: Is your Software Ready? by QNX Software Systems We will explore the benefits of multi-core processors, such as increasing performance, reducing MIPS per watt and reducing system footprint. Learn how the innovative features of the Momentics Multi-Core Edition help preserve your existing s/w base while migrating to multi-core processing environments. JOIN US FOR LUNCH, served at 12:15 pm 1:20 pm - 2:05 pm Accelerating Application Development by Enea Join our technical seminar to learn how you can stop writing your own middleware! We¡¯ll demonstrate Element and how it provides instrumentation, fault management, upgrade management, and shelf management services that make it easy to monitor, provision, service, upgrade, and fine- tune distributed networks. Linux Advances in the 2.6 Kernel by LynuxWorks We will discuss the advances in the 2.6 Linux kernel and how these kernel advances are better suited to embedded systems, particularly those systems requiring some degree of determinism and predictable performance. We will also address why POSIX conformance is important for embedded developers. Be sure to get your name in the drawing at 2:45 pm for an *** iPOD Video *** Plus, talk face-to-face with Technical Experts coming from: AAEON Electronics Abutron Analogue & Micro Advantech American Predator ALT Amirix Ampro Computers Artisan Atio Systems AXIOMTEK Calorath Compulab Condor Engineering Connect Tech Coverity Dolphin Interconnect Solutions ELMA Electronic Empress Software ENCIRQ Enea Embedded Technology E-Value GE Fanuc Embedded Systems General Software Green Hills Software Hagiwara Sys-Com HARTING HIFN IBT Technologies ICP Electronics Integrys Klocwork Kontron LDRA LynuxWorks McObject Mentor Graphics Mercury Computer Systems Motorola Embedded Mikro Electroniks M-Systems Multitech My Cable Neutronics Components Norteq Industrionix Objective Interface Systems Octagon Systems PARVUS Pentek PNI Corp Polyspace Technologies Protech QNX Software Systems R.
