Themes of the show are: Eco-Design, Embedded processor design, Using Linux, Power-efficient design, Test for embedded systems, Wireless system design.
Conference Programme Details:
The design conference will run alongside National Electronics Week taking place on 16-18 June 2009 at Earls Court 2.
The emphasis of the conference programme will be the presentation of design methodologies and product technologies and the intention is to showcase topical design innovation in semiconductors and software.
Presentations will offer expert advice on design & test techniques for embedded systems incorporating semiconductors and software.
A major focus will be energy-efficient design is a range of wireless, industrial and communications applications. Other sessions will focus on the implementation of Linux in embedded systems and test methodologies.
