   UPCOMING EVENTS AND SEMINARS

RTS Embedded Systems,
April 5-7 in Paris, France
Paris Expo - Porte de Versailles - Hall 3

Join QNX Software Systems at RTS Embedded Systems 2005 in booth H33. This event brings together 85 French and international exhibitors, suppliers for real-time and embedded operating systems, new products in development hardware and software tools as well as card and component manufacturers.

QNX Software Engineer, Sheridan Ethier, will be presenting "Application-Driven Power Management for In-Car Telematics and Infotainment Systems." Compared to PDAs, notebooks, and other general-purpose mobile devices, in-car telematics systems present a host of unique power management requirements. They must, for instance, deal with custom hardware, deliver predictable response times while in low-power states, and maintain operational readiness for days or weeks after the ignition has been turned off.
