In the not-too-distant future, the majority of electronic devices will be connected via the Internet or wireless protocols, bringing convenience and simplicity to daily living, but adding layers of technology and complexity to devices we use everyday. Jerry Fiddler, founder of Wind River, will offer a glimpse to his vision of the future: "The Connected World." He will discuss how this "world system" will evolve through the convergence of multiple technologies resulting in one, giant interoperable system. The audience will learn that the road to the connected world is wide open, and that today marks the beginning of a new era in the embedded industry. This event takes place in Palo Alto on Thursday. |
