The Embedded Systems Conference Summer Reflects Local Industry Growth, Dozens
Of New Products to Be Shown
SAN FRANCISCO, July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The Embedded Systems Conference
(ESC) Summer opens in Boston next week with an exhibition of the latest
processors and software tools that will enable the next generation of Internet
appliances and advanced embedded electronics, such as web-browsing cell phones
and connected home appliances. With an unprecedented number of Massachusetts
companies participating, the show reflects the tremendous growth of the
embedded systems industry in the Boston area.
ESC Summer, running from July 10-12, 2000 at the Sheraton Boston Hotel and
Hynes Convention Center, is an educational forum that provides engineers,
developers, and project managers with the latest information on embedded
technology innovations. The show floor, which is double the size of last
year's event, complements the program of classes and tutorials.
More than 90 exhibitors will show the latest in hardware and development
tools, including dozens of new products. Local participants from the Boston
area include:
-- CMX Systems, Inc. -- A provider of software tools needed to program
embedded applications in automotive, medical equipment, consumer
electronics, communications, aerospace, manufacturing automation, and
many other industries.
-- Phar Lap Software, Inc. -- A provider of real-time operating systems
and software development tools for embedded applications including
products for Web-accessibility using standard Internet technology.
-- Software Emancipation Technology, Inc. -- Provides a software
Development Information System (DIS), which improves software quality
and development and reduces maintenance costs and time-to-market.
-- The MathWorks -- A developer and supplier of technical computing
software, with more than 500 employees and headquarters in
Natick, Massachusetts.
"With high tech businesses proliferating along the Route 128 technology
corridor, Boston is affirming its role as a hotbed of innovation for embedded
devices," said Lindsey Vereen, editorial director of EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
PROGRAMMING magazine and ESC conference chairman. "Thanks in part to the new
technologies coming out of these companies, ubiquitous computing is becoming a
reality."
Exhibitors are expected to announce and display a variety of new products
at the show including embedded web browsers and tools for e-mail capability as
well as memory management and connectivity products. Two local companies,
EBSnet and eMation, have scheduled press conferences for Tuesday, July 11.
EBSnet will announce the release of the next version of its software product,
which offers enhanced security and remote configuration capabilities. eMation
will present Internet infrastructure solutions for e-business.
In addition to the two-day exhibition, the conference program features
classes on topics ranging from Internet-appliance design, and open-source
development, to communications protocols, taught by a faculty of 44 industry
experts. Special conference events include a morning "Shop Talk" discussion
group where participants can share their experiences on specific projects, a
keynote address, titled "Reformat the Dog: The World of Weird Embedded
