whitepaper Microsoft Surface Supports Customer Creation of Branded, Visually Rich Applications2008-10-01 Microsoft
  Imagine placing a digital camera on a tabletop screen and seeing the pictures spill out onto the surface. Now touch and grab each picture and drag it around to share with friends or colleagues. With no obvious point of interaction except its multi-touch screen, Microsoft Surface is the future of interactive, visual computing here today. Windows Vista Business for Embedded Systems provides the equally advanced operating system, with enhanced backend manageability; broad interoperability with industry standards and Microsoft technologies; and familiar, powerful tools for building rich user experiences.

whitepaper Embedded Software Enhances Projector Connectivity, Boosts Usage2008-09-04 Microsoft
  Seiko Epson (Epson) manufactures peripherals, electronic devices, and precision products. To stay ahead in its projector business, Epson wanted to deliver a projector with improved connectivity, simplified setup, and wireless transmission capabilities. Through a Joint Development Program with Microsoft, Epson choose to use Windows Embedded CE 6.0 to develop a smart, connected, service-oriented projector. Its EMP-1825 (PowerLite 1825 in the United States) Network Projectors with embedded CE 6.0 can be easily detected, rapidly set up, and are able to wirelessly receive audio-visual content and presentation files. These enhanced features have resulted in increased usage of the network projectors, while Epson expects to achieve a return on investment for the development a year earlier than projected.

whitepaper The Energy Cost of SSL in Deeply Embedded Systems2008-06-01 Sun Microsystems
  As the number of potential applications for tiny, battery-powered, "Mote"-like, deeply embedded devices grows, so does the need to simplify and secure interactions with such devices. Embedding a secure web server (capable of HTTP over SSL, aka HTTPS), enables these devices to be monitored and controlled securely via a user-friendly, browser-based interface. This paper presents the first empirical energy analysis of the Internet's dominant security protocol, SSL, on highly constrained devices. The author has enhanced Sizzle, the tiny-footprint HTTPS stack, with energy conserving features and measured its performance on a Telos mote. The paper shows that the key exchange phase, which consumes much more energy than bulk encryption and authentication, amortizes well over the transmission of a few kilobytes of application data.

whitepaper Application of Middleware and Agent Technologies to a Representative Sensor Network2008-05-21 Vanderbilt University
  Sensor networks are Distributed Real-time Embedded (DRE) systems that often operate in open environments where operating conditions, workload, resource availability, and connectivity cannot be accurately characterized a priori. The South East Alaska MOnitoring Network for Science, Telecommunications, Education, and Research (SEAMONSTER) project illustrates many common system management and dynamic operation challenges in a representative sensor network, including adapting to changes in network topology, effective reaction to local environmental changes, and power management through system sleep/wake cycles. This paper discusses a case study for applying middleware and autonomous agent technologies from the Multi-agent Architecture for Coordinated Responsive Observations (MACRO) to these challenges in the SEAMONSTER sensor network.

whitepaper Metro Health Village Improves Patient Care With Immediate "Anywhere" Information Access2008-05-01 Microsoft
  Metro Health Village is redefining the healthcare experience. This unique village has an advanced hospital facility surrounded by a community of physician offices, specialty centers, medical suppliers, a fitness center, and more. Approximately 1,000 Wyse Technology V90L thin clients running the Windows XP Embedded operating system are spread throughout the campus, providing healthcare workers with instant, anywhere access to applications and patient data. The Windows XP Embedded environment is familiar to end users, highly secure, and supports multiple options for connectivity and peripherals. Even more important, accurate up-to-date patient information can be accessed in about 15 seconds, versus several minutes with PCs, potentially saving lives when every moment counts.

whitepaper MSDN Webcast: Windows Server Core in the Embedded Space (Level 100)2008-04-22 Microsoft Tips
  Windows Server 2008 for Embedded Systems enables building small-footprint, dedicated server appliances by allowing installing only the roles and features that are needed. The Server Core installation option provides a minimal footprint, as small as one gigabyte in some scenarios, by eliminating the local Graphical User Interface (GUI). This change simplifies ongoing maintenance by reducing the need for software updates and by minimizing the attack surface area. Server Core supports common server roles including virtualization, Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC), Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM), Domain Name Services (DNS), WINS, DHCP, Internet Information Services (IIS), and File and Print Server.
