VirtualLogix, will explore the distinct difference between
traditional data center virtualization and real-time
virtualization for embedded devices. Gien will outline the
benefits and challenges of incorporating real-time
virtualization into embedded device designs and provide
real-life examples to illustrate how it is speeding the
adoption of open source technology, such as Linux, in connected
devices.

Prior to this presentation, Gien will participate in a panel
discussion on embedded virtualization. The panel will examine
the drivers for adoption of virtualization in embedded and
mobile applications, explore how embedded virtualization
differs from its enterprise counterpart and address the issue
of real traction and adoption trends for this technology in
emerging intelligent devices designs.
