With its focus on leading edge embedded technology and tools, the Embedded Masterclass has gained a reputation for being 'useful and informative', a chance to meet with vendors and engineers in a non-sales environment, and a chance to listen to technical presentations from key industry leaders.

This year the Embedded Masterclass will feature an Embedded Linux Workshop and will take place in both London and Bristol. Attendance at this event is free (except for the Linux workshop) to embedded engineers and technology managers.

Further details can be found on the Embedded Masterclass website.

Rapita Systems will be demonstrating how the RapiTime worst-case execution time (WCET) and performance profiling tool can be used to analyse real-time software running on real embedded hardware (a PowerPC), using TraceBox on-target tracing technology.

DASIA 2008, the International Space System Engineering Conference.

DASIA covers technologies and methodologies for the development of systems, software and hardware components of computer-based data retrieval, processing and exploitation in aerospace, telecommunication and other areas of high reliability and complexity.

Rapita Systems will be exhibiting at DASIA 2008, along with partner Adacore.

On the Adacore stand, Rapita Systems will be demonstrating how the RapiTime worst-case execution time (WCET) and performance profiling tool integrates with Adacore's GNAT Pro technology and can be used to analyse real-time software written in Ada (as well as C).

The Safety-Critical Systems Club 57th seminar.

At the seminar, delegates will be able to hear first-hand experience of applying tools to the development of safety-critical systems, to see many tools in action, and to discuss their merits with both vendors and other users.

A variety of tools are now available to assist the development of safety-critical systems: many major on testing and static analysis, while some focus on modelling and verification, and others assist with the documentation needed to achieve certification.

The 13th International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies - Ada-Europe 2008.

Following its traditional style, the conference will span a full week, including a three-day technical program and vendor exhibitions from Tuesday to Thursday, along with parallel tutorials and workshops on Monday and Friday.

The conference has successfully established itself as an international forum for providers, practitioners and researchers into reliable software technologies. The conference presentations will illustrate current work in the theory and practice of the design, development and maintenance of long-lived, high-quality software systems for a variety of application domains.
