San Clemente and Palo Alto, Calif. — The RTC Group, marketing partners to the real-time and embedded computing industry, and LinuxDevices.com, “the Embedded Linux Portal,” today unveiled a sizzling new event for the embedded computing market: the Embedded Linux Expo & Conference (ELEC). Scheduled to premier on June 22nd in San Jose, Calif., ELEC will feature a full day of technical presentations about using the open-source Linux operating system in non-desktop embedded and real-time computing applications.

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 event will feature six 50-minute technical presentations on various aspects of Linux-based embedded system design, presented by CTOs and senior technical luminaries from leading companies in the embedded Linux market. In addition, dozens of suppliers of technologies and products useful to developers of Linux-based embedded systems will be present in the expo portion of the event, to provide product demonstrations and answer product and technical questions.

To further enhance the benefit to the attendees, this first ELEC event is being co-located with The RTC Group's popular Embedded Computing Show (ECS). Together, the ELEC / ECS joint event is designed to promote the maximum exchange of information, by offering over 12 technical sessions in the conference – plus a rich variety of product information via the expo – within a single days' time.

A second ELEC event is planned for Toronto, Ontario, November 16, 2000.
