Papers address topics in the research, development, and design of embedded systems, including embedded systems in architecture, software, hardware, real-time computing, testing and verification, image and graphics processing, hardware/software co-design, pervasive/ubiquitous computing, wireless sensor networks, power-aware computing, security and dependability, system on chip (SoC) and multi-core based systems, and embedded multimedia systems.

This latest support for real-time computing on Linux is the result of years of contributions to the open-source community by SGI, which has consistently identified hold-offs and submitted kernel modifications that, once accepted into the Linux kernel, have resulted in better latencies.

BlueStep's configurable software gives customers the Internet infrastructure to deliver information, manage projects, and share real-time computing power across an organization--regardless of complexity, size, or location.
