Hi people, |

Soon it will be FOSDEM again, which is a free developer conference in Brussels |
4 |
end of February 2007. For this we are looking for speakers willing to present |
5 |
their (or their teams) work. |

The 2007 edition of FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Developers' European |
16 |
Meeting; http://www.fosdem.org) will take place in Brussels, Belgium |
17 |
on 24 and 25 February 2007. For the fifth time, a track on Embedded |
18 |
Systems and Operating Systems will be organized. The fourth edition |
19 |
was quite succesful and attracted up to 150 attendants for certain |
20 |
topics. |

The use of Free Software in the infrastructure of Embedded Systems |
26 |
is booming, e.g. by the use of Linux, uClinux, eCos, RedBoot, RTEMS |
27 |
and many other Free Software components. More companies are supporting |
28 |
Embedded Free Software every day because of the reliability and cheap |
29 |
licensing. This can be confirmed from looking at some high profile |
30 |
releases of embedded GNU/Linux systems. Some examples are the Nokia 770, |
31 |
some models of Motorola's smartphones and Archos media players. Not to |
32 |
forget the popular TomTom navigation system, the numerous SOHO routers |
33 |
and NAS devices based on linux. |
34 |
|
35 |
Operating System development has always been a very important topic in |
36 |
Free Software. |
37 |
As embedded and real-time systems typically have special OS |
38 |
requirements, we organise this Free Embedded and OS development track at |
39 |
FOSDEM to give people the opportunity to present their (or their teams) |
40 |
achievements. |
41 |
|
42 |
This track at FOSDEM provides a remarkable opportunity to present and |
43 |
discuss the ongoing work in these areas, and we invite developers to |
44 |
present their current projects. Technical topics of the conference |
45 |
include but are not limited to : |
46 |
|
47 |
* OS Development : kernel architecture and implementation, libraries, power |
48 |
management, TIPC, boot time and memory usage optimizations |
49 |
(e.g. Linux, BSD, uClinux, uClibc, newlib, slob allocator,...) |
50 |
|
51 |
* Practical experiences in implementing Free Software in embedded |
52 |
systems (e.g. reverse engineering, porting to (and adapting of) |
53 |
commercial devices like the Ipaq, linksys WRT54G, nlsu2 .... ) |
54 |
|
55 |
* Toolchain, performance testing and build environment |
56 |
(e.g. crosstool, emdebian, openembedded, PTX dist, packaging, |
57 |
scratchbox, Eclipse, Valgrind,...) |
58 |
|
59 |
* GUIs for embedded systems |
60 |
(Gtk, Qt-(embedded), GPE, Qtopia, UI design with touchscreen, |
61 |
Hildon GUI extensions, OpenMoko, OpenGL ES, ...) |
62 |
|
63 |
* Multimedia applications for embedded systems |
64 |
(e.g. integer only decoders, Opieplayer, gstreamer... ) |
65 |
|
66 |
* Real-time extensions, nanokernels and hardware virtualization software |
67 |
(e.g. RTAI, Adeos, KURT, L4, Qemu, User Mode Linux, VirtualLogix, |
68 |
high resolution timers, ...) |
69 |
|
70 |
* Hard real-time OS's |
71 |
(eCos, RTEMS, Real Time Linux,...) |
72 |
|
73 |
* Open hardware, DSP, softcores and general hardware management |
74 |
(e.g opencores.org, OpenRISC, leonSparc, FPGA's, specific design |
75 |
restrictions for free systems, DSP, Power management...) |
76 |
|
77 |
* Safety and security certifications applied to Free software |
78 |
(e.g. security measures in Embedded systems, TPM, SELinux |
79 |
for embedded, TrustZone, ...) |
80 |
|
81 |
* Tools and techniques for programming multicore systems |
82 |
|
83 |
* Free software licenses and embedded systems |
84 |
|
85 |
Authors that wish to present a topic are requested to submit their |
86 |
abstracts online to embedded@××××××.org before 14/01/2007. Notification |
87 |
of receipt will be sent within 48 hours. Authors wishing to submit a |
88 |
full paper (between 6 and 12 A4 pages), can do so in PS or PDF format. |
89 |
|
90 |
The Program Committee will evaluate the abstracts and consists of: |
91 |
|
92 |
* Geert Uytterhoeven, Sony NSCE, Belgium |
93 |
* Peter De Schrijver (p2), Essensium, Belgium |
94 |
