Processor solutions for IoT security and automotive safety

Taking place on 13^th September from 9am-7pm, this multi-track event will see ARC processor users, ecosystem partners, industry luminaries and Synopsys experts will discuss how to address a wide range of design challenges with the latest hardware and software solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT) security, automotive safety, embedded vision and other applications. Visitors will be able to take the opportunity to network with fellow attendees, ARC partners and Synopsys staff as well as see a variety of live partner and Synopsys demonstrations at the evening reception.

The ARC Processor Summit will open with a morning keynote presentation by Linley Gwennap of the Linley Group, who will discuss the evolving standards for communication protocols, software and services for IoT devices. In addition, Jeff Bier, Founder of the Embedded Vision Alliance and President of BDTI will present in the Embedded Vision Track with an insider's view of embedded vision technology and how it will evolve in the next few years.
