MontaVista Launches Open Source Webinar Series.Registration is Available at www.mvista.com/webinars for Webinars on Linux and Eclipse for Embedded Systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. Software Development SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- MontaVista[R] Software, Inc., the global leader in embedded Linux The Linux operating system configured and enhanced to work in a wide variety of applications, including handheld devices, network appliances, industrial machines and consumer electronics devices. The modularity of the Linux kernel makes it well suited to embedded systems. [R], today announced a free educational webinar series for embedded systems software developers. The first topic in the series will highlight how Linux and Eclipse have revolutionized the industry, leading to dramatic gains in developer efficiency. MontaVista encourages audience members to register now for the first webinar at www.mvista.com/webinars. The first webinar is offered at two separate dates and times to make it convenient for attendees across North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. Available times and dates include: * Wednesday, April 25 - 10am US Pacific, 12pm US Central, 1pm US Eastern * Tuesday, May 1 - 10am US Eastern, 3pm UK, 4pm Central Europe/Scandinavia James Ready James "Jim" Ready is a businessman and technologist. He is known within the Linux community for pioneering real-time embedded operating systems.[1] Ready received his BA from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1971 and his MA from the University of , CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. and co-founder at MontaVista, will conduct each webinar. With more than 25 years of experience in the embedded systems and real-time software industry, Mr. Ready pioneered the development of the first commercially viable, real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. . Mr. Ready founded MontaVista in 1999 to provide the Linux operating system for the embedded systems market as well as to offer embedded system expertise to the Open Source Linux Community. The development of embedded software has shifted rapidly from proprietary closed-source based tools and operating systems to technologies based on open source, most notably Linux and Eclipse. The seminar will examine the reasons behind this revolutionary change, and how moving to the Linux operating system and Eclipse based development environments has improved developer efficiency. Mr. Ready will describe the current capabilities of Linux as an embedded operating system An operating system used in special-purpose applications (embedded systems). Embedded operating systems are typically very compact and often designed for real time operations. See embedded Linux, QNX, OS-9, Windows XP Embedded, Windows CE, VxWorks and Symbian OS. , with a particular emphasis on the real-time capabilities of Linux. He will also focus on Eclipse based development tools for Linux including a discussion on the latest in Linux run-time analysis tools, such as memory leak detection and performance profiling. MontaVista's open source webinar series will also include additional webinars in May and June encompassing subjects such as security and virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work. Following are the ways virtualization is used. Hardware Virtualization Partitioning the computer's memory into separate and isolated "virtual machines" simulates multiple machines within one physical computer. . Designed to give developers a deeper understanding of embedded systems technology, the series will provide best practices for developers to apply the technology effectively in their professional environments. Descriptions of each webinar along with dates and times will be posted on www.mvista.com/webinars. Audiences can enroll for the webinars at any time prior to the broadcast date.
