As products shift from generalized PCs to more targeted devices, BIOS is moving away from offering the generic set of PC architecture building blocks to application-specific building blocks.

Thomas Hardjono —

The Trusted Platform Module can enable network administrators to employ higher levels of security, especially as its presence in computers becomes ubiquitous.

Altera Technical Staff —

Choosing the correct encryption algorithm and selecting the appropriate key storage are two important design considerations.

Brian Bailey —

Major changes happening in both the hardware and software worlds will soon make it impossible to construct systems without an abstract model.

Andy Ladd —

A well thought-out modeling methodology can overcome obstacles to virtual platform adoption as well as ensure that users attain all the value that a virtual platform can provide.

David Owen, Bob Stasonis and Elizabeth Persico —

The Consortium is now witnessing the emergence of Class B instruments.

Mark Elo —

Test and measurement suppliers need to think ahead and design RF test instruments suitable for emerging and future wireless technologies.

Bruce Powel Douglass, PhD —

Experience shows that if a system isn't well designed and implemented, then testing cannot improve its quality ex post facto.

For mobile and handheld device manufacturers, the evolution of Compute-On-Module (COM) products has largely been a story of more capable modules being developed to better meet the need for small size, low power, and good performance. In order to meet competitive imperatives, the need for flexibility and low cost has played a key role as well. With every new generation of technology, engineers must balance all those factors, and in doing so, they must look forward to ongoing compatibility with future components, in order to avoid costly redesign down the road.

Software for airborne application is highly safety critical as any failures may result in loss of human life. Government agencies like FAA in US enforce stringent software development practices to ensure the safety of life. The aviation community as a whole and the FAA endorse the guidelines for Airborne Applications. Sensors plugged to the Aircraft pushes the sensed data like the temperature, altitude, fuel status, engine status etc over cables which are usually laid throughout the Aircraft. This paper attempts to replace the wired communication that happens between the Modular Avionics Unit and the sensors plugged to the Aircraft.

John Lin —

Ask most laptop or notebook computer users about their main annoyance, and their responses will likely have something to do with the heat their computers produce.

Brian Law and Greg Ferrell —

Designers can employ several techniques that greatly improve efficiency in switching power supplies and make switching regulators feasible in different types of designs.

Kevin Rhoades —

New technologies like Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software are making it possible for engineers to effectively deliver thermal management expertise early in the design process long before physical prototyping and testing.

Phan Hoang —

Memory designers can mitigate heat and design better memory subsystems using a range of simple but powerful thermal concepts.

David MacAdam and Robert Bishop —

Serial RapidIO 2.0 promises to be a powerful embedded fabric with robust features supporting all manner of data traffic.

James Clough —

With a rapid increase in multicore platform development, the level of visibility provided by a virtual hardware platform can give application developers insight into code they could not see before without specialized equipment.

José and F. Ruiz, PhD —

Every high-integrity system and, in general, any system that requires reliability must provide evidence demonstrating the impossibility of stack overflow.
