We are living in interesting times. The word \u201cinteresting\u201d can have many nuances. Normally, I think of interesting stuff as a source of fascination – I do think that we live in a fascinating era. However, just now, I think another meaning of the word comes to mind: challenging. I am not about to moan about the current issues; indeed I have looked at some of the positive angles before<\/a>. What I am pondering is the prospects for technical conferences going forward \u2026<\/p>\n

There are countless events around the world that have been postponed or cancelled in recent weeks. Some are going \u201cvirtual\u201d – becoming an online event that can be accessed from anywhere. Although not always a perfect replacement for face to face communication, the various online meeting systems can often do a very satisfactory job. For many years we have been running \u201cwebinars\u201d – short [60-90 minutes] seminar sessions with a presentation and Q&A. These are always popular and are an extremely efficient way to get to a wide, but relevant audience.<\/p>\n

Last year [well before the current crisis was anticipated], I was approached with a request for my participation in a conference with a difference – it would, from the outset, be online only. I readily agreed to take part and momentum for the Embedded Online Conference<\/a> has been growing steadily since then, with the event premiering on Wednesday 20 May<\/strong>. On that day [and for some time afterwards] registered attendees will be able to play as many sessions as they want – much more flexible than with a \u201creal\u201d conference, where being in two places at once can be a challenge. On the day itself, there will be the opportunity to ask questions of the speakers.<\/p>\n

My session is:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Operating Systems for Embedded Applications<\/a><\/h4>\n

Most modern embedded applications employ and operating system of some sort. We will look at how operating systems work – the scheduler and various services provided by an OS to the application code – and at the options open for OS selection. We will also compare the use of commercial, open source and in-house products and consider multicore.<\/em><\/p>\n

To attend the conference, you need to register in advance. There is a modest charge, but, if you are quick, you can use the coupon code here and get complimentary registration.<\/p>\n

If you are attending the conference, I hope that you will give my session a try. If you would like a copy of my materials, please contact me by email<\/a> or via social media.<\/p>\n
