	AdaCore AdaCore Announces GNAT Pro for SYSGO’s PikeOS New Safety-Critical RTOS Platform for GNAT Pro High-Integrity Edition... SANTA CLARA, NEW YORK and PARIS, January 26, 2010 - Real-Time & Embedded Computing Conferences (RTECC) - AdaCore and SYSGO today further strengthened their partnership by announcing the release of the GNAT Pro High-Integrity Edition for DO-178B toolset targeting SYSGO’s PikeOS platform, a safety-critical real-time operating system (RTOS). GNAT Pro has been ported to this platform in direct response to growing customer demand. This new development follows GNAT Pro support for ELinOS™. PikeOS has been gaining popularity with avionics developers as a next-generation RTOS for ARINC-653; with Ada’s and AdaCore’s proven track record in the safety-critical market, including avionics and rail transportation, GNAT Pro is a natural match. GNAT Pro High-Integrity Edition for PikeOS comes with the...	Full version Date:1/26/2010 6:00:00 PM

	TTE Systems Ltd Embedded Masterclass Explores Time Triggered Software for Mainstream Embedded Systems This year's Embedded Masterclass event for hi-tech engineers will feature a half-day workshop that will explain the many advantages of using time-tri... . Time-triggered (TT) architectures are widely used in safety-related systems such as aerospace and medical systems because they are known to provide highly-predictable behaviour, and reduced certification costs. As this workshop will make clear, use of TT architectures can also provide many advantages to developers of a much wider range of “deeply embedded” systems, not least because this approach can result in much-reduced testing costs. http://www.embedded-masterclass.com/time-triggered-software.htm In a time-triggered embedded system, there is only one interrupt enabled. This interrupt is usually linked to a timer, which will generate “ticks”: these ticks will, in turn, drive an appropriate (often very simple) operating system. During this workshop it will be argued that TT arc...	Full version Date:1/26/2010 11:45:00 AM
