Agile is a proven method for Information Technology (IT) software teams to deliver high quality software to satisfy stakeholders on time. Software teams pursue Agile because they need a method that can respond efficiently to change to the product under development.

As Operational Technologies (OT) like embedded devices, control and monitoring systems are increasingly integrated with Information Technology (IT) systems running in the back office, interaction patterns between systems are becoming more complex and diverse. Publish-Subscribe is the most commonly used messaging pattern for OT systems.

Embedded virtualization brings a new level of efficiency, flexibility, and security to the development of embedded devices. It enables developers to leverage multiple operating systems in a single device; it provides device and memory protection between virtual boards; and it makes it possible to configure resources to specific subsystems to improve utilization rates for key system components and cut costs.

Mercury Computer introduces an Open VPX blade utilizing Freescales T4240 28nm QorIQ Power Architecture processor that provides 24 virtual cores and 12 AltiVec engines in a single SOC device. Freescale and Mercury will provide technical details of the processor and how Mercury utilizes the raw processing power and exceptional performance per watt of the T4240 processor.

The world of enterprise infrastructure software is undergoing dramatic change. Driven by the need to improve efficiencies and optimize their businesses, companies that operate large, physical systems (sometimes called operational systems) at the operational edge are actively working to merge those systems with their IT business applications.

Many safety-critical developers are wondering what the newly released DO-178C document means to them, their organizations and their internal processes. Presentations by George Romanski of Verocel and Joe Wlad, FAA DER and Senior Director at Wind River will give the audience useful information on what they can expect when certifying software to DO-178C standards.

Join QNX Software Systems and Freescale Semiconductor as we discuss threading models for creating multiple concurrent tasks and parallel processing on multicore chips. Well also explore design patterns for increasing parallelism (worker threads, peer threads, etc.
