Distributed systems work by sending information between otherwise independent applications. Traditionally, that communication is done by passing messages between the various nodes. This "message-centric" approach takes many forms, but all have a common premise: the unit of information exchange is th...

In this webinar, learn how the use of one common integration platform in your designs lowers development and certification costs and reduces overall project risk. We will discuss testability of distributed systems, how to avoid sources of non-determinism, design alternatives to reliable communicatio...

Software plays an ever-increasing role in driving innovation and providing marketplace differentiation in “smarter” products. However, the complexity of bringing more interconnected, instrumented and intelligent products to market faster is stretching software development teams and traditional softw...

The typical method of securing data-in-motion is to establish a secure channel between two nodes. For example, TCP/TLS can be used to both authenticate each node and encrypt the data in transit. But, what if you have a complex distributed system with low latency requirements? What if you are multica...

Networking and communication equipment products are starting a great migration to solve the new challenges associated with The Cloud, Big Data, Virtualization, Workload Consolidation, and High Performance Computing. This massive migration is significantly transforming the underlying embedded techn...

This webinar will show how the new features benefit industrial automation, digital signage, healthcare, mil/aero, and other applications. We will also show how you can speed design with off-the-shelf hardware and software from the Intel® Intelligent Systems Alliance.

Some example of usage in today’s power-hungry & heat-generating systems, especially when housed in space-constrained applications (like Ultrabook computers and SSD (solid stat...

The imminent adoption of DO-178C by major certification authorities presents a number of challenges for developers of certified avionics applications. Changes to the core documents, as well as understanding the corresponding supplements, can be a challenging task. And what are the best ways to ensur...

Linux has been a mainstay in the embedded industry for a number of years now due to its large code base and availability of experienced engineers. Enter Android – Android uses a Linux foundation, but the API enables an “app-store” paradigm where a large application library and distribution model can...

RTI is by far the leader in infrastructure for real-world, hard-core distributed systems. We have direct experience with hundreds of teams building complex distributed systems. These range from a few computers to thousands, and soon, millions. We have seen, across the dozens of industries we engag...

Agile methods have become popular in software development because they emphasize effective project governance in the face of new or changed project information. These changes may be in requirements, target platform, customer needs, regulatory changes, or any other project related data. Traditional s...

Today’s abundance of consumer devices has given rise to the pervasiveness of embedded Linux systems. From the digital home and office to smartphones and tablets to automobiles with open source in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems, Linux-based software is connecting people and devices like never bef...

Builders of large-scale industrial automation systems must focus on several key system design requirements in order to implement robust distributed systems – Architecture, Interoperability, Scalability, and Performance. OPC-UA provides a solution for addressing Interoperability for heterogeneous dis...

Attend this webinar to see why this technology is already mandated in multiple defense programs worldwide, and to understand why building interoperability into your systems architecture will enhance your position in future defense program bids.

Intelligent devices have become a ubiquitous part of everyday life. So much so, that we hardly even notice their presence anymore. From smartphones to GPS-equipped cars, we are surrounded by the “internet of things” than make our lives more convenient. But as we quickly adopt these gadgets, we are i...

The promise and potential of the smart grid leads energy providers on a path toward a more efficient, reliable, flexible and safe energy distribution system. However, providers face many challenges, including regulatory requirements and an aging energy delivery system. The main issues facing energy...

If you watch any car advertisement today there is a good chance that one of the “features” they are pushing is the IVI capabilities of the car! The consumer expectations today are such that a trip in their vehicle will isolate them from the outside world. Their connection to the world needs to be se...

Security defects that lead to exploitable vulnerabilities are often introduced during design and development either through in-house development, or outsourced and other 3rd party source code, including open source technology. The cost of fixing defects increases dramatically the longer they go unde...

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. Software intensive and real-time &...

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 u...

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 co...
