whitepaper Teaching Software Engineering for Embedded Systems: An Experience Report From the Manaus Research and Development Pole2007-10-13 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  The number of microprocessors and microcontrollers being applied to modern computational systems is growing exponentially. Nevertheless, it is not easy to find engineers with the necessary skills for developing software for such devices. In fact, the creation of official undergraduate courses to fulfill this modern demand proved not to be the best solution. This paper describes an inter-universities training program specially created for embedded systems organized by CEFET-AM, a technical college, and carried out by Genius Institute of Technology, a research and development company, both located in Manaus - Brazil. After a restrictive selection process, 24 senior students coming from 8 of the most important universities of the region started their studies. Eleven theoretical modules distributed in 300 hours of training were given.

whitepaper New Ferroelectric Material for Embedded FRAM LSIs2007-10-01 Fujitsu
  The strong growth of information network infrastructures in the society has enabled personal authentication services for electronic money systems and ticketless trans- portation services to become firmly established. Secure, high-speed, and low power consumption nonvolatile memories will be required for mobile devices used with smart RFID tags and secure IC cards. Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM) is one of the best choices for these applications. Market needs must be paid attention for these mobile and secure applications.   
whitepaper Digital Services Developer Launches Handheld Media Player With Embedded System0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Commodore International Corporation (CIC), based in the Netherlands, planned to develop a range of innovative digital media services. One, the Gravel-in-Pocket, aimed to meet the increasing demand for music and video streaming through handheld devices. To launch the product at CeBIT 2007 - the digital showcase event - CIC needed to develop the software platform rapidly. It chose Windows CE version 5.0 as the operating system and worked with Windows Embedded Partner PTS Software to create the application layer. As a result, CIC saved up to five months in development time and established a reliable software platform supporting the latest media formats such as MPEG 4, Xvid, DivX, and Windows Media Video (WMV).

whitepaper Digital Cinema Server Ushers in Next Generation of Movie Technology Worldwide0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Market adoption of digital cinema technology has been slow, especially for movie theaters, which have very stringent requirements for security and reliability. Qube Cinema needed to solve those problems as it developed its next-generation digital cinema server. The company considered using Linux as the operating system, but ultimately rejected open source software because it lacked key functionality, including a robust streaming media architecture and broad catalogue of device drivers. By choosing Microsoft Windows XP Embedded, Qube Cinema was able to select just the required operating system components, resulting in a secure and reliable operating system. Qube Cinema was also able to leverage key Microsoft technologies, such as Microsoft DirectShow and the .NET Framework.

whitepaper Spanish Retailer Signs Co-Marketing Plan After Deploying New Point-of-Sale Solution0000-00-00 Microsoft
  El Corte Ingles (ECI) is a leading retailer in Spain with ?12 billion (U.S.$14.5 billion) of annual revenue and more than 72,000 employees. ECI executives wanted to improve the company's Avenew Point-Of-Sale (POS) system and market it to other retailers. Working with Microsoft, Accenture, and its own subsidiary firm, Informatica El Corte Ingles (IECISA), ECI first decided to look for a replacement for its IBM proprietary operating system. After a proof of concept, ECI decided to standardize on the Microsoft Windows XP Embedded operating system and Web services. ECI has delivered the new architecture to a specialty fashion store where staff are now better supported, enabling them to provide excellent service for shoppers.

whitepaper Hacking Embedded Linux Based Home Appliances2007-08-30 Metalink
  Embedded Linux is an interesting phenomenon. With millions of devices shipped to-day, from residential gateways to cellular phones, it may be Linux's biggest success story ever. However, it gets disproportionately small amount of interest from the open source community. Part of the blame is on the companies developing embedded Linux based products, which feel uncomfortable with the idea of opensource. However, even bigger problem can be the fact that embedded systems are perceived as black boxes which are very hard to hack, contrary to an "Open" PC. This paper tries to break this stigma by showing Linux developers how to hack various Linux based devices that they might already have at home.

whitepaper Improved Agent-Oriented Middleware for Distributed Smart Cameras2007-07-24 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  In the recent past, much effort has been put into the development of distributed vision systems with smart cameras as key components. Smart cameras combine video sensing, processing and communication within a single embedded device and provide sufficient on-board infrastructure to carry out high-level video analysis tasks. Networks of smart cameras help to overcome some hard problems inherent to single-camera systems by providing multiple views of a scene. This paper reports on an improved, agent-oriented middleware for embedded smart cameras. Each image processing task is represented by an agent resident on a smart camera within the network. Agents are able to move from one camera to another as needed during run-time.

whitepaper Combined Usage of UML and Simulink in the Design of Embedded Systems: Investigating Scenarios and Structural and Behavioral Mapping2007-07-08 KTH - Royal Institute of Technology
  The multidisciplinary nature of advanced embedded systems requires a combined usage of several tools and modeling languages in systems development. The paper investigates the needs and some of the possibilities in simultaneous usage of Matlab/Simulink and UML. Structural and behavioral mappings are explored considering the needs for models at different abstraction level as well as environment models. The representation and mapping between behavioral models, including discrete-time, event-triggered, and continuous time systems is of special concern and solutions are discussed.
