To make it interesting we need speakers of course. If there is anybody here that thinks he can come to Brussels then and has some interesting stuff to tell please follow the guidelines in the call for papers that follows. CALL FOR PAPERS for the 4th EMBEDDED track at FOSDEM 2005 ========================================================== sat 25 - sun 26 February 2006, Brussels Call for papers ---------------- The 2006 edition of FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Developers' European Meeting; http://www.fosdem.org) will take place in Brussels, Belgium on 25 and 26 February 2006. For the fourth time, a track on Embedded Systems and Operating Systems will be organized. The third edition was quite succesful and attracted up to 150 attendants for certain topics. For last years program see: http://www.embedded-kernel-track.org/2005/papers.html The use of Free Software in the infrastructure of Embedded Systems is booming, e.g. by the use of Linux, uClinux, eCos, RedBoot, RTEMS and many other Free Software components. More companies are supporting Embedded Free Software each day because of the reliability and cheap licensing. This can be confirmed from looking at some high profile releases of embedded GNU/Linux systems. Some examples are the Nokia 770, some models of Motorola's smartphones, Archos players and the move from palmsource to build on a Linux subsystem Operating System development has always been a very important topic in Free Software. As embedded and real-time systems typically have special OS requirements, we organise this Free Embedded and OS development track at FOSDEM to give people the opportunity to present their (or their teams) achievements. This track at FOSDEM provides a remarkable opportunity to present and discuss the ongoing work in these areas, and we invite developers to present their current projects. Technical topics of the conference include but are not limited to : * OS Development : kernel architecture and implementation, libraries (e.g. Linux, BSD, uClinux, uClibc, newlib, ...) * Practical experiences in implementing Free Software in embedded systems (e.g. reverse engineering, porting too (and adapting of) commercial devices like the Ipaq, linksys WRT54G, nlsu2 .... ) * Toolchain, performance testing and build environment (e.g. crosstool, emdebian, openembedded, PTX dist, packaging, scratchbox, Eclipse, Valgrind,...) * GUI's for embedded systems (Gtk, Qt-(embedded), GPE, Qtopia, UI design with touchscreen, ...) * Multimedia applications for embedded systems (e.g. integer only decoders, Opieplayer, gstreamer... ) * Real-time extensions, nanokernels and hardware virtualization software (e.g. RTAI, Adeos, KURT, L4, Qemu, User Mode Linux, ...) * Hard real-time OS's (eCos, RTEMS, ...) * Open hardware, DSP, softcores and general hardware management (e.g opencores.org, OpenRISC, leonSparc, FPGA's, specific design restrictions for free systems, DSP, Power management...) * Safety and security certifications applied to Free software (e.g. security measures in Embedded systems, SSL libraries, ...) * Free software licenses and embedded systems Authors that wish to present a topic are requested to submit their abstracts online to embedded@fosdem.org before 31/12/2005. Notification of receipt will be sent within 48 hours. Authors wishing to submit a full paper (between 6 and 12 A4 pages), can do so in PS or PDF format. The Program Committee will evaluate the abstracts and consists of: * Geert Uytterhoeven, Sony NSCE, Belgium * Peter De Schrijver (p2), Mind, Belgium * Philippe De Swert, Nokia (OSSO), Finland Cheers, Philippe -- | Philippe De Swert | | GPE developer: http://gpe.handhelds.org | Emdebian developer: http://www.emdebian.org | | Please do not send me documents in a closed | format.(*.doc,*.xls,*.ppt) | Use the open alternatives.
