| LAST CALL for Papers: 2nd Embedded Linux Expo & Conference |
Aug. 10, 2000
NOTE: Don't miss out on the opportunity to make a technical presentation at the next Embedded Linux Expo & Conference being held in the Boston area, on October 27th. Proposals are due by midnight this Friday, August 11th. Here's the original "call for papers" announcement . . .
San Clemente and Palo Alto, Calif. -- (press release) -- The RTC Group and LinuxDevices.com, cosponsors of the Embedded Linux Expo & Conference (ELEC), today announced the call for papers for the second ELEC technical conference to be held on Friday, October 27th at the Wyndham Westborough Hotel, 5400 Computer Drive, Westborough, Mass.
Rick Lehrbaum, ELEC technical conference chair, said "the world's first Embedded Linux Expo & Conference held in San Jose last month was a huge success! The ELEC technical conference was completely sold out by the morning of the event, resulting in 'standing room only' during nearly all the presentations." Lehrbaum also stated that "one pleasant surprise was the international flavor of the event, with participants attending from Armenia, Canada, England, Germany, Korea, China, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, the UK, and, of course, the US."
ELEC technical presentations are given by Chief Technology Officers, (CTOs) or equivalent senior technical experts, and should focus on technical issues associated with integrating Linux and Linux-related technologies into embedded system applications. Priority will be given to selecting presentations that offer immediate technical value to the attendees and assist in better understanding issues, challenges, processes, and techniques that can be used to successfully and rapidly develop Linux-based embedded systems. Suggested topics include . . .- Scaling Linux to meet embedded system resource constraints
- Graphical user interface considerations and options
- Satisfying the real-time response requirements of real-world applications
- Non-stop operation for critical systems
- Considerations and techniques associated with embedding Internet connectivity
- Using Flash memory in Linux-based embedded devices
- Taking advantage of post-PC alternatives to the "x86" architecture
- Case histories from actual projects based on embedded Linux
Product pitches or product-related presentations will not be accepted. Abstracts of proposed presentations meeting the above criteria are requested by August 11, 2000 and should be submitted via email to the ELEC Technical Conference Chair, Rick Lehrbaum.
About the Embedded Linux Expo & Conference (ELEC)
The Embedded Linux Expo & Conference (ELEC) is the world's first expo and conference to exclusively target the use of the popular open-source Linux operating system in embedded applications. Each ELEC event features a full day of technical presentations by CEOs, CTOs, and other senior technical experts of leading embedded Linux companies, on issues and challenges associated with integrating Linux and Linux-related technologies into embedded system applications. In addition to the technical presentations, several dozen suppliers of technologies and products useful to developers of Linux-based embedded systems will participate in the Expo portion of the event, providing product demonstrations and answering attendees' technical questions.
ELEC is directed towards engineers, project managers, and design teams that are developing a broad range of embedded systems incorporating the Linux operating system and related technologies. Typical applications span the gamut from moderate to high performance fixed and mobile computing needs, and include: smart appliances, gaming, set-top boxes, medical equipment, defense/aerospace systems, industrial control/automation, transportation systems, instrumentation, and data acquisition.
The fee to attend the technical conference is $79 in advance, or $99 at the door. There is no charge for attending the Expo portion of ELEC. For information on exhibiting in the Expo, contact Cindy Hickson, cindyh@rtcgroup.com; phone 949-226-2035. A special Embedded Linux Expo & Conference web page is located here.
