WHERE: Manhattan Beach Marriott
1400 Parkview Avenue
Manhattan Beach, CA 90266
Telephone: 310-546-7511
WHY: Within the A&D marketplace, competitive pressure, increasing
complexity, and shorter market windows are driving companies to
adopt a DSO strategy. DSO allows A&D device manufacturers to
standardize for maximum flexibility and scale across products
and projects, freeing them to focus development efforts on
unique value-add and competitive features. At this event, Wind
River will showcase A&D technology innovations supporting DSO
including advances in support for POSIX, DO-178B, ARINC 653,
Software Defined Radio (SDR), and MILS Common Criteria
solutions using the VxWorks platform.
In addition to a keynote by Steve LaPedis, vice president of
field marketing at Wind River, there will be face-to-face
meeting time with Wind River engineers and product specialists,
networking opportunities with peers and hands-on access to the
latest Wind River products. More than 10 partners from Wind
River's ecosystem will also be on hand, including AdaCore, CRC,
DDC-I, Freescale, IBM Rational, IBM Systems and Technology,
iLogix, OIS, Tilcon and Virtutech .
