Largest East Coast Gathering for the World's Electronic Engineering Elite will
Give Exclusive Sneak Peak of Pioneering Technologies Changing the Way We Work,
Live and Play
BOSTON, Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- CMP Media today announced that the 14th
annual Embedded Systems Conference Boston (http://www.esconline.com/boston), will run
September 12-15 at the Hynes Convention Center. The event is recognized as the
East Coast's most important and comprehensive forum for the "Creators of
Technology" -- design engineers and engineering management -- those who take
the first steps in creating cutting-edge breakthroughs driving our global
economy and influencing everything from cell phones, console gameplay, medical
devices, RFID technologies and space travel, to mention just a few. Many
technologies are first introduced at the Embedded Systems Conference several
years before they hit the market.
Embedded Systems Conference Boston will offer more than 90 classes and
tutorials, providing design engineers, and engineering managers crucial
updates on the industry's hottest topics like TCP/IP networking, CPLD and
FPGA, Linux/Open Source, UML, ARM architecture, and high availability design.
Conference-goers can expect to learn the latest techniques on how to make
their embedded systems designs stronger, faster and more secure by attending a
wide selection of sessions, ranging from "Principles of Safety-Critical
Systems Design" to the full-day "Embedded GNU Jumpstart" program. Highlights
of the conference will include the 2005 Embedded Security Seminar (September
12-14), two full days of exhibitor workshops presented by Intel, Sun
Microsystems, and other leading companies (September 13-14), and a keynote
address by Avi Rubin, professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins
University who will speak about the global business impact of security and
RFID technologies (September 13).
"Now in its 14th year, the Embedded Systems Conference Boston continues to
be the gathering place of the world's 'Creators of Technology' -- those
designers, managers, and innovators whose work drives global economic markets
and transforms world culture," said Paul Miller, vice president and group
publisher of the CMP Media Electronics Group. "Just as rock stars and athletes
are globally celebrated, ESC recognizes the heroes in our community who are
changing the way we work, live and play through astounding technological
advancements."
In addition to training sessions, more than 150 leading hardware and
software providers will be showcasing innovative, breakthrough technology and
products, September 13-14. Among the exhibitors are Echelon, Atmel, Green
Hills Software, Mentor Graphics/Accelerated Technology, Wind River and Xilinx.
Exhibitors will also host two days of workshops, addressing specific solutions
to unique design challenges. Workshops are free to all registered conference
attendees and feature programs like "Migration from RTOS to Linux Enables
Multi-Core Optimizations" hosted by Intel, "Real-Time and Embedded Java
Solutions Seminar" by Sun Microsystems, and "Delivering Added Value With
Embedded Speech & Voice Recognition" by IBM. For a complete list of free
exhibitor workshops, visit: http://www.esconline.com/boston/workshops .
"Embedded Systems Conference Boston provides an ideal environment for
reaching our target developer -- the behind-the-scenes innovators creating
great products looking for that extra edge in cost savings, increased
functionality, and networked technologies," said Anders Axelsson, Echelon's
senior vice president of sales and marketing. "We're able to effectively reach
new customers through exhibiting at the show and our free workshop for
attendees will give us the opportunity to demonstrate to developers and
technology leaders just how fast, cost-effective, and easy it is to embed our
control networking technology into their products."
Embedded Security Seminar focuses on latest trends, tools and design
methodologies (September 12-14)
The three-day technical program will feature several one-to-three hour
sessions on topics like practical secure hardware design, wireless security,
and Internet security. Executives from Nokia, Atmel, Texas Instruments,
LynuxWorks, Seagate, Fortify Software and more will address subjects like
"Security for Mobile Devices", "Network Security for Embedded Systems", and
"Wireless Sensor Networks". Security is a growing concern for the embedded
industry, as engineers are being tasked with the critical challenge of
securing devices that share data with other devices. CMP Media research has
shown that two-thirds of attendee's upcoming embedded design projects are
expected to have security considerations. The seminar is sponsored by
Innominate Security Technologies AG and SafeNet.
Attendees can register for the Embedded Security Seminar individually, or
together with the Embedded Systems Conference Boston.
"ESC Boston gives us an excellent opportunity to confirm Atmel as a leader
in the design and manufacture of advanced semiconductors, with particular
focus on our flash memory based microcontrollers," said Clive Over,
communications director of Atmel(R) Corporation. "The conference provides us
the ideal environment for reaching out to new partners and clients, and
educating the nation's technology leaders on the ease, cost effectiveness and
flexibility of our silicon chips (ICs) and support tools."
Event Keynote Addresses RFID Technologies
On Tuesday, September 13, from 10:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Avi Rubin will
deliver the keynote address "Security and Privacy Issues in RFID
Technologies", describing the two types of RFID systems in use today and the
security and privacy concerns introduced by these and future applications.
Rubin is the professor of computer science and technical director of the
Information Security Institute at Johns Hopkins University and the founder of
Independent Security Evaluators.
Make Beneficial Business Connections
Attendees and exhibitors will have the opportunity to "super-charge their
event networking experience" at the event by opting in to EEQuorum(TM), an
online matching system designed specifically for the Embedded Systems
Conference to enable electronics-industry buyers and sellers to make contact
