Embedded Linux and “Open Perspectives” will comprise two of the six tracks at Wind River's 2005 User Conference, May 22-25 in Orlando, Fla. The Linux track will include “business and technological perspective,” the company says, offering presentations from OSDL, Jaluna, GoAhead Software, Intel, Datalight, Solid, PTR Group, and Coverity.

The focus on Linux and open standards/technology echoes Wind River's market message at March's Embedded Systems Conference, and demonstrates the company's continued embrace of Linux and other open standards and technologies, such as the Eclipse tools platform. Other tracks at the 2005 user conference include VxWorks, Middleware, Executive Perspectives, and Development Process and Environment.

Breakout sessions in the Linux track include:

• OSDL — Carrier Grade Linux update
• OSDL — Open source licensing for embedded Linux developers
• Wind River — Debugging the Linux kernel with KGDB
• Jaluna — Running VxWorks and Linux on a single processor
• GoAhead Software — Building a highly available application ready platform
• Intel — Migrating from VxWorks to Platform NE Linux Edition using Intel Architecture
• Datalight — Bringing up Linux on your hardware — a storage perspective
• Solid Information Technology — Get your Carrier-Grade Linux application to market faster using a highly available database
• Intel — Platform and hardware management with OpenHPI
• PTR Group — Embedded Linux capabilities in device software development
• PTR Group — Top 10 considerations before starting a Linux development project
• Coverity — Assessing the quality and securiy of Linux

Additionally, a number of topics of potential interest to embedded Linux developers will be discussed in the Open Perspectives track, including “Adapting Java for device software systems” (aicas), “Designing with NAND Flash” (Datalight), “Computer-on-Modules combined with RISC CPUs” (Kontron), “Safety-critical OpenGL ES: beyond avionics” (Seaweed Systems), and “Using CIFS with device software” (Visuality Systems).
