Presentation
The Gap – Enterprise to the Edge
In technology, as in sociology and biology, the most interesting and unpredictable dynamics happen at the interface of two separate worlds thrust together.

This phenomenon describes the two worlds of embedded/real-time and enterprise systems. Previously, these were thought of as separate domains, conceptually and physically partitioned from one another. Each had their own parlance, tools, patterns, techniques, and paradigms.

Yet convergence is upon us.

This session will examine how to bridge existing real-time and non real-time technologies in the near term, and how to plan for the future Global Data Space of interconnected temporal-aware systems.

Leading companies will describe both aspects: first bridging via practical, standards-based technologies, and next, demolishing the technological barriers and cognitive intransigence inhibiting the fusion of both domains.

Visionary speakers from RTI, Oracle, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon will present.
