Swiss Technology Award 2007: “Smallest Format Factory” from CSEM based on QNX Neutrino RTOS
These days, when it comes to electronics production, small is beautiful. Numerous products, such as mobile phones and digital cameras, face increasing production challenges as they move towards mini formats. Swiss CSEM, a private research center for electronics and microtechnology, recognized the problem and developed the “Smallest Format Factory,” which has won the Swiss Technology Award 2007. This mini factory is comprised of several robot modules operated by the QNX® Neutrino® realtime operating system from QNX Software Systems. QNX Neutrino runs on PC/104 computers, which provide integrated control of the individual robot modules.

Using Open Source Software to Create Commercial Products
May 23,2007
2pm EST
Using a commercially successful embedded development suite as an example, this session focuses on the benefits, strategies, obstacles, and
opportunities associated with using open source in commercial products. We'll discuss the differences between protective source licenses (e.g. the
GPL) and non-protective source licenses (e.g. the EPL); the due diligence required when integrating or linking open source with proprietary code;
various legal issues, such as potential patent infringement; and why guidelines for using open source code in IT environments often don't apply
to commercial embedded products.

Using POSIX Threading to Build Scalable Multi-Core Applications
Until recently, the vast majority of embedded systems were based on uniprocessor designs. The situation is changing quickly, however, with the
availability of multi-core processors chips that offer significantly greater processing capacity per watt, per ounce, and per square inch than
conventional processor architectures. Fortunately, the multi-threading techniques required to leverage the performance of these multi-core
processors are well established.
Attend and explore how POSIX threading and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) offer a scalable approach to realize the performance improvements of
processors based on two, four, or more cores.

Survive and thrive: Creating scalable and highly available software
Embedded systems are not getting easier to build. The demand for more features and higher performance are driving the need for highly scalable, distributed systems. Meanwhile, a constant requirement is high availability and serviceability of the end product. Now, more than ever, a scalable, survivable software architecture is needed to sustain products in the field and provide future evolution. Fortunately, a software approach that fosters transparent distribution also provides a good solution for high availability.
Attendees will learn how key technologies offered in the QNX® Neutrino® RTOS and QNX Momentics® development suite help build survivable, scalable,> and highly available systems.
