Doing the Embedded Systems Conference with your feet up
If you are like me, you run yourself to the ragged-edge each time you attend the Embedded Systems Conference, trying to rush around in two or three days visiting vendor booths, attending product introductions and attending the few classes you can find time for.
One way to reduce the load you are placing on your poor feet is to let the hardware and software developers come to you via the ESC Theater at the Hynes Convention Center.
There, from the comfort of a cushioned seat you will be able to see what the embedded systems community has to offer in the way of new products, new techniques and new perspectives.
Among the companies presenting at the ESC Theater next week will be Cypress, Texas Instruments, Freescale, NEC, Halosys Technologies and Reardon. The theater will also be the venue for two panel sessions on virtualization and medical systems as well as teardowns of the BionX Bycle Energy Management System and the Pico Projector.
Sessions at the Theatre I think will be particularly interesting are:
1) Embedded.com columnist Michael Barr, who will be giving two presentations: "This Code Stinks," on Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 4 p.m. and "RTOS Mythbusters," on Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 6.p.m.
2) Adrian Valenzuela's presentation: Implementation of Autonomous Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Application. He will be speaking on Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 12:30 p.m.
3) Constructing Programmable Low Power Mixed Signal Processing Systems On-Chip, by Ata Khan, vice president technical staff at Cypress Semiconductor. He will be speaking on Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 11:30 a.m.
After you have registered to attend the Fall 2009 ESC, check out the presentations at the ESC Theater, pick the ones you would like to see and come and take a load off your feet for a while.
