The 2003 edition of FOSDEM (Free and Open Source Developers' European Meeting) will take place in Brussels, Belgium on 8 and 9 February 2003. Embedded and realtime systems are among the fastest growing fields of R&D where Free Software solutions become important. Operating System development has always been a very important topic in Free Software. As embedded and realtime systems typically have special OS requirements, we organise this Free Embedded and OS development track at the FOSDEM.
This track at FOSDEM provides a remarkable opportunity to present the ongoing work in these areas, and we invite developers to present their current projects. Technical topics of the conference include but are not limited to : - Free Software OS Development : kernel architecture and implementation - Linux (GPL) - *BSD (modified BSD = Free SW) - the Hurd (GPL) - L4 (GPL) - ... - Free Embedded Development : tool chains and project cases - emdebian (GPL) - embedded projects based on free software - ... - Free Software Real-time extentions to Linux - RTAI (GPL/LGPL) - Adeos (GPL) - ... - Free Software real-time OS's - eCos (ECOS 2.0 license = modified GPL = Free SW) - RTEMS (GPL) - ... - Free Software JVM's - Wonka (modified BSD = Free SW license) - Kaffee (GPL) - ... - Free hardware designs. - LEON Sparc (Free HW license) - "OpenCores.org" projects (Free HW licenses) - Portable (system) programming - generic issues in portable programming (endianess, wordsize, ...) - system level issues (non-coherent I/O, Out Of Order Execution,...) - ... - Free Software GUI's for embedded systems - Qt (dual license) - gtk (LGPL) - ... Authors are required to submit their abstracts online to [EMAIL PROTECTED] before 16/12/2002. Notification of receipt will be sent within 48 hours. Authors wishing to submit a paper (between 6 and 12 A4 pages), can do so in PS or PDF format. The Program Committee will evaluate the abstracts and consists of: - Peter De Schrijver, CTO Mind, Linux/eCos developer - Herman Bruyninckx, Professor at K.U.Leuven, robotics development - Michael Vogt, Debian project, Debian developer - Gary Thomas, eCosCentric, eCos/Linux developer - Neil H. Walfield, GNU project, Hurd Developer Peter Vandenabeele, acts as organiser for this track and non-voting secretary of the Program Committee.
