Aonix Announces "Trends in Critical Systems" Seminar Series

Presentations by Wind River, OIS, Verocel, and Aonix cover topics in safety, security, and mission-critical technologies

Embedded Systems Conference, Boston, September 18, 2007

Aonix®, a provider of solutions for safety- and mission-critical applications, announced a joint seminar series including speakers from Aonix, Wind River, Objective Interface Systems, and Verocel. The Seminar series, titled, “Trends in Critical Systems,” will cover exciting new technologies targeting the Aerospace & Defense and Security markets and will include industry standards updates affecting safety-critical certification, such as DO-178C and security systems like Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS).

The series takes into account current resources and challenges. For instance, embedded hardware is faster than ever with larger memory, graphic capabilities, multi-device interconnectivity and more compact footprint, allowing larger application execution in less physical space. Multi-partitioned RTOS solutions now allow mixing soft real-time and hard real-time applications, or enabling safety-critical applications to reside side-by-side with non-safety-oriented components in the same hardware platform. Legacy code and newer language opportunities add new complexities of intermixing and executing mixed language applications. New or enhanced standards are emerging with the potential to invalidate previously implemented systems. The seminar series tackle these kinds of complex and ever-changing systems.

Seminar series dates and locations:

• October 16 - Minneapolis, MN - Hilton Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport Hotel
• October 18 - St. Louis, MO - Marriott St. Louis Airport Hotel
• November 15 - San Diego, CA - Venue to be announced
