Center. The four-day conference is dedicated to showcasing the technological
breakthroughs of the industry's Creators of Technology, and will feature more
than 90 classes and tutorials, 160 leading exhibitors, and workshops on some
of the industry's hottest technologies driving today's global economy and
influencing our daily lives.
"Just as celebrities and athletes are globally recognized, the Embedded
Systems Conference celebrates the heroes in our community -- rock star
engineers who every day, change the way we work, live and play through
astounding technological advancements," said Paul Miller, vice president and
group publisher of the CMP Media Electronics Group. "ESC Boston 2005 welcomes
160 of the industry's top electronics exhibitors and we are proud to be
partnering with so many industry leaders -- those who will be showcasing
breakthrough systems several years before they're introduced in the most
popular consumer products and industry applications."
Design engineers and engineering managers attending this year's ESC Boston
will get a sneak peak of hot technologies presented by 160 of the industry's
top hardware and software providers, showcasing innovative technologies and
products, September 13-14 on the show floor. Among the exhibitors are Texas
Instruments, XILINX, Fujitsu Microelectronics, Intel, Wind River, Echelon, and
Sun Microsystems -- many of whom will also be hosting 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

Throughout the show, conference attendees will also be able to choose from
more than 90 classes and tutorials, providing crucial updates on the
industry's most pertinent topics. "Principles of Safety-Critical Systems
Design" will educate engineers on designing systems that are safe for users
and the environment, "Network Updates of Remote Embedded Systems" explores
systems and equipment servicing from remote locations, and "Legal Issues for
Embedded Systems Developers" gives engineers, managers and entrepreneurs
crucial insight on the basics faced in developing and marketing embedded
systems. For a complete list of classes and tutorials, visit

Event Keynote Addresses RFID Technologies
The controversial subject of RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification)
technology will be addressed at the event's keynote by Avi Rubin, professor of
computer science and technical director of the Information Security Institute
at Johns Hopkins University, and the founder of Independent Security
Evaluators (Tuesday, September 13, 10:15-11:30am). RFID enables small wireless
tags to identify merchandise, control inventory, enable online purchases,
reduce car theft - the US government is even considering putting RFID tags in
passports, and several states are examining RFIDs for driver's licenses. Rubin
will 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.
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.
