technology, bringing unprecedented cost-savings and efficiencies to
innumerable companies. Yet, new areas where open source and Linux show
promise are emerging and Wind River is presenting on two such areas --

is vast as consumers are increasingly demanding smart devices.
With embedded Linux becoming a viable solution for many
embedded applications, Wind River is uniquely positioned to
discuss how it is embracing embedded Linux to meet the needs
of OEMs and driving toward a connected world where proprietary
and open technologies co-exist.

emerging collaboration tool with potentially profound impacts
