FREE Seminar - Standards-based Distributed Computing for Embedded Systems

Presented by Embedded Solution Partners and Real-Time Innovations

Co-sponsored by TeamF1 and Datalight

As embedded systems grow in complexity and functionality, developers are increasingly turning toward distributed systems to solve their toughest problems. Distributed systems are those which employ two or more processors - either tightly or loosely coupled - to deliver the system's required functionality.

Some applications naturally lend themselves to a distributed architecture, such as a multistage manufacturing process or a military command and control system deployed over a wide geographical area. In other cases, service availability requirements dictate a distributed approach employing high availability techniques. This is typical of network devices in service provider networks. In still other cases, the motivation might simply be the need for large amounts of compute power, such as real-time simulation.

While distributed systems help solve many of these challenges, building a distributed system involves some challenges of its own. In this seminar, we will tackle these issues head on, including:

• Standardization Learn how to future-proof your distributed system by leveraging the OMG's newest standard, Data Distribution System (DDS)
• Complexity Learn how to use the publish/subscribe methodology to greatly simplify application programming while allowing network middleware to take care of many of the distribution chores
• High Availability Learn techniques for recovering from system failures and maintaining service availability in a system failure scenario
• Data Management Learn how to manage data over a distributed system while insuring data integrity
• Security Learn how to use security technologies to insure that information in transit remains confidential while stored information is available only to authorized entities
