The level of sophistication in automobiles is skyrocketing. And the number of critical digital assets involved is not limited to software - firmware, maps, manuals, and entertainment objects all represent important product components that must be managed effectively for high quality and standards compliance.

The exciting potential of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is to create bold new intelligent machines and vast distributed systems. The IIoT will change the world across many industries.

Gaining the tactical edge on the battlefield is becoming less about troop and tank deployments but more about who has the smartest sensors, best electronic warfare (EW) techniques, and the most accurate radar systems. Presented by: GE Intelligent Platforms, Pentek, Mercury Systems, Thermacore.

Availability of low cost platforms for hobbyists and professional engineers alike have spurred a dramatic growth in innovation, software, and tools platforms for embedded systems. Open Source Projects and development tools are lining up to support a variety of DiY platforms.

The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is beginning to open the national airspace unmanned aerial systems (UASs). The UAS commercial market is expected to some day dwarf what is already a multi-billion military marketplace for UAS technology.

How much thought are you putting into your software release and deployment process? For companies taking an ad-hoc approach this process may be risking their company's future. A process that is prone to error, doesn't securely store artifacts needed for traceability, and is unable to reproduce and track fielded revisions can result in delays, confusion, bad customer experience and liability issues.

Retail system breaches continue to grab headlines with millions of consumer records exploited and hundreds of lawsuits filed. What lessons have we learned from the most recent breaches such as Target, Niemen Marcus and others? What role can the OEM take to address future breaches? New PCI DSS v 3.

Economic realities dictate that "new" distributed systems are almost never entirely new creations. Existing capabilities which cannot be readily duplicated at minimal cost are often necessary and even critical components of otherwise new systems.

From modernizing legacy systems to designing new industrial and consumer connected products spawned by the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), embedded developers are faced with new challenges for their devices where connectivity, scalability, security, and future-proofing are required along with the continual pressure to reduce costs, risks, and time-to-market.

The future of automotive will feature vehicle to vehicle communications for enhanced safety and the ability to integrate personal mobile devices into the car to provide improved information and a better entertainment experience. The benefits and convenience are significant but whats the impact of this increased connectivity? Is it possible for a security hole or rogue application on your cell phone to get into the power train in your car? What are the critical software security issues, best practices and mitigation techniques automotive developers need to know? Join us as embedded security experts discuss the unique requirements and security issues within an automotive environment.

Todays SoCs are ever increasing in complexity with features such as multiple cores, multiple clusters, heterogeneous compute, coherency, DVFS and multiple architectures. Traditional hardware debug solutions fail to address the entire SoC space and this is where a customized debug and trace solution targeted at your SoC is essential for hardware debug, software development and performance analysis.

Smaller, compact electronics are being required more and more for vetronics, avionics, unmanned system payloads, missile systems, command and control systems, radios, and other military applications. Mostly because modern processing technology enables system designers to replace legacy systems with as much as 10 times the performance in the same size footprint.

There are many things that can go wrong in the modern data center today. When it comes to virtualized environments, what do you need to be able to restore? Just a file? Maybe an entire VM? What about a SQL record, email message or Linux application? Join Expert Rick Vanover from Veeam for this webinar to explain how restore options can deliver Availability for the Modern Data Center.

Odds are good that your data is extremely important to you. Now consider how one secures that data.

Many of the safety standards specify a number of objectives or requirements that need to be met. We will discuss these objectives and look at various ways in which they can be implemented and documented as well as highlighting the processes, procedures, risks and tools used to achieve safety-critical software certification.
