| European open source conference seeks embedded papers |
Dec. 05, 2005
A conference on free and open source software is seeking papers on embedded projects and technologies. FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Develpers' European Meeting) is set for Feb. 25-26 in Brussels, Belgium. The fourth-annual event will have an embedded track featuring papers on Linux, uClinux, eCos, RedBoot, and RTEMS.
Last year's third-annual FOSDEM also featured an embedded track.
Suggested topics for the fourth FOSDEM include:- OS Development: kernel architecture and implementation, libraries -- Linux, BSD, uClinux, uClibc, newlib, etc.
- Practical experiences in implementing Free Software in embedded systems -- reverse engineering, porting too (and adapting of) commercial devices like the Ipaq, linksys WRT54G, nlsu2, etc.
- Toolchain, performance testing and build environment -- crosstool, emdebian, openembedded, PTX dist, packaging, scratchbox, Eclipse, Valgrind, etc.
- GUI's for embedded systems -- Gtk, Qt-(embedded), GPE, Qtopia, UI design with touchscreen, etc.
- Multimedia applications for embedded systems -- integer only decoders, Opieplayer, gstreamer, etc.
- Real-time extensions, nanokernels and hardware virtualization software -- RTAI, Adeos, KURT, L4, Qemu, User Mode Linux, etc.
- Hard real-time OSes -- eCos, RTEMS, etc.
- Open hardware, DSP, softcores, and general hardware management -- opencores.org, OpenRISC, leonSparc, FPGA's, specific design restrictions for free systems, DSP, Power management, etc.
- Safety and security certifications applied to Free software -- security measures in Embedded systems, SSL libraries, etc.
- Free software licenses and embedded systems
Prospective paper presents should submit abstracts or full 6-12 page papers online, in PS or PDF format, prior to Dec. 31, 2005. Authors will be notified within 48 hours.
The program committee that will evaluate embedded papers includes representatives of Sony, Nokia, and Mind.
