The event features “application themes” on consumer electronics, automotive electronics, mobile/ubiquitous computing, and factory automation/robotics. Featured tutorial topics include multicore processors, WiMAX, Linux, and real-time design and testing strategies for complex embedded systems.

The exhibition area will host 860 booths, giving attendees hands-on access to the latest in embedded hardware, software, integrated circuits, and design tools, conference organizers said. The following types of products and services are expected to be on display:

• Hardware:
  • Microprocessors, DSPs, chipsets, smart cards
    
  • Embedded platforms, board-level computers, wireless networking
    
  • Interface technologies (IEEE1394, USB, etc.), power supplies, IC sockets, backplanes
• Software:
  • Operating systems / RTOSes, device drivers, firmware/middleware, Internet-related technology (browsers, etc.)
    
  • Database, security technologies (encryption/decryption, etc.)
• Development environments and tools:
  • Programming languages (C/C++, Java, HTML/XML, UML, compilers/assemblers)
    
  • In-circuit emulators and debugging tools
    
  • EDA/system design tools, measurement & instruments, project management tools, configuration management tools
• Others:
