Abstract |
As embedded systems are becoming more and more powerful, more and more functionalities are expected from an embedded operating system, such as multi-tasking, networking, device drivers and user interface. With processors becoming powerful and memory capacities increasing, people often find it easier to port Linux on embedded systems, rather than adding new functionalities into an embedded kernel.
This main objective of this tutorial is to introduce Linux to an embedded system developer. The tutorial provides an overview of the Linux architecture and describes how to develop an embedded system using Linux.
The tutorial is divided into 2 modules as described below, followed by a case study:
Linux development environment: Embedded Linux distributions and the Linux tool-chain; Linux boot loader; Building embedded Linux kernel, drivers and applications.
Overview of Linux kernel architecture: System-call interface; Process management; Memory management; File system; Device drivers.
Case study: building a portable media player using Linux.
|
| Target Audience |
Embedded system developers wanting to use Linux in their applications.
Pre-requisites: processor architecture and C/asm programming. Familiarity with embedded system development and basic knowledge of operating system concepts will increase the learning effectiveness. |

T2 - Mobile Phone Operating System: Architecture, Issues, and Pitfalls, SATURDAY, 19 - JULY-2008 – 9:00 – 13:00 |
|
Keith de Mendonca is a Chief Technology Architect at Symbian. Keith has been involved in developing Symbian's advanced OS for smart phones since 1998. He joined Psion PLC in 1994, a London-based company which developed the operating system that later became known as Symbian OS. He joined Symbian in
1998 at its formation, and was the messaging technology specialist for the company. Keith became a chief technology architect in 2003.
He has a 1st class honours degree in Computer Systems Engineering, and he was awarded a D.Phil for his research into image compression by Sussex University, England. |

Abstract |
With wide scale proliferation of Smart phones, the user demand for value added applications and services is increasing day-by-day. The mobile operating system needs to scale up in terms of feature addition, performance, and application support, to meet these demands. A trade-off needs to be achieved by the mobile phone OS to meet these challenges.
This tutorial introduces the basic architecture of mobile phone OS along with its potential pitfalls. To overcome some of these pitfalls, an advanced methodology to design mobile phone OS will be discussed. Some of the experiences encountered during design and development phase of Symbian OS will be presented so that other architects and developers can benefit from it. The tutorial will also introduce some business drivers and current
trends that impact this vast market. |
Target Audience |
Mobile OS industry practitioners, Architects, Designers, Developers, Testers, and software engineers.

T3 - Nanotechnology : Enabling the Future of Electronic Devices, SATURDAY, 19 - JULY-2008 – 14.00 - 17.00 |
|
| Dr. Kota Murali is the lead scientist and program manager of the nanotechnology initiative at IBM India. He got his MS and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He obtained his Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Bangalore University; during his undergraduate years he was on a National Science Fellowship at the Indian Institute of Science and Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research from 1998-2001. He was a summer fellow at Caltech in 2002, and a Visiting Scientist at the IBM-Stanford Centre for Spintronics Applications at IBM Almaden in 2004. Prior to joining IBM India, he was a research manager of the nanotechnology program at Motorola India Research. His research interests are in the area of design, theory, and modelling of nano materials and devices for electronics and energy. |
|
Abstract |
The revolution in information and micro/nano electronics technology has been possible due to the continuously shrinking transistor. The size of the transistor has shrunk by more than 5 orders of magnitude in 5 decades ! Can this scaling continue, and would the Moore's law continue to hold ? These are some of most interesting questions facing the information and microelectronics industry. As the devices enter the nanoscale dimensions, many novel quantum effects start to dominate. Hence, it is important to design new devices that exploit quantum phenomena. In this talk, we shall
discuss some of the interesting nano scale effects and emerging nanodevice design concepts for enabling next generation nanoelectronic device technology. |

T4 - Insights Into IEEE 802.16e (WiMAX) PHY and MAC layers Design Concepts and Road Ahead, SUNDAY, 20 - JULY-2008 – 09.00 - 17.00 |
|
|
| Prasad VTSV is currently working in Samsung Electronics, India as a Chief Engineer in Wireless Terminals Division. He has received his B.E. degree in “Electronics and Communications” from Osmania University and M.Tech in “Telecommunication Systems Engineering” from IIT-Kharagpur. In his current capacity, he is responsible for design, development and standardisation of various wireless communication technologies based on 3GPP LTE and IEEE 802.16m radio interface. He has more than 10 years of hands-on industry experience in design, development and standardisation of various Air-Interface technologies based on 3GPP (UMTS, LTE), 3GPP2 (CDMA2000 1x, EVDV and EV-DO, UMB) and WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e, 16m). He has filed for more than 25 patents in India and internationally. He has received numerous awards during his career including the prestigious “Best overseas Samsung R&D employee” from the President, Telecommunication Networks Business of Samsung Electronics. He has delivered several talks within Samsung (ranging from Tutorials to Advanced topics including Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), CDMA20001x EV-DO, Orthogonal Frequency Multiple Access (OFDM) system design, WiMAX) and talks in RV College of Engineering (on “A Journey through Wireless Communication Technology Developments”) and in Broadband Wireless Consortium of India (on “IEEE 802.16m Standardisation Developments”). He has served as a reviewer for “IEEE Communication Magazine” articles. |

Abstract |
Wireless technologies are emerging rapidly and we are moving to 4G era. Mobile
WiMAX (based on IEEE 802.16e) has gained lot of momentum and has been recently
recognised by ITU as an IMT-2000 standard and is geared towards being a strong contender for 4G. In India, WiMAX is poised to take-off in a big way and is seen as a tool to increase the broadband penetration and bridge digital divide. In this tutorial, we start with a brief on the landscape of the existing and emerging broadband wireless radio
access technologies and how they compare to each other. This is followed by detailed
look into PHY layer concepts. We then delve into protocol architecture and MAC design
concepts of WiMAX/802.16e technology in detail along with necessary insights. This
sets the perspective to look at some of the miscellaneous topics like Fractional Frequency
Reuse etc that helps improve the performance and capabilities of WiMAX PHY and
MAC. We also take a look at the roadmap for WiMAX evolution towards IMT-advanced
(4G) and Samsung's position/role in the current and emerging Broadband Wireless
Access (BWA) technologies. The tutorial concludes with the relevance of BWA/WiMAX
technologies in Indian context. |
Target Audience |
1. Wireless industry professionals working on BWA and Radio Access Technologies
2. Educators to get in touch with latest technology developments
3. Researchers to get big picture of wireless technologies and their adoption
4. Students to get the BWA and Wireless Radio Access Technologies perspectives
