Keeping products secure is a requirement for survival, demanding vigilance in finding, applying, and distributing working patches to customers in the timeliest manner possible. While there is heightened awareness about device vulnerabilities, what is often missing is awareness about the process of managing the security response process itself. Guest blog by David Reyna, Wind River.

IoT software provider for safety-critical domains, Wind River, has announced enhancements to Wind River Edge Sync, including differential system technology that enables the smallest differential update when conducting over-the-air (OTA) updates. The ability to keep updates minimal reduces distribution time and cost, update transmission time, and memory required on automotive electronic control units (ECUs).

  Wind River has announced that it has provided its VxWorks real time operating system to power the latest versions of MotionWise, TTTech Auto’s safety-software platform for autonomous driving applications.

The motto to live by is work smarter, not harder. OEMs will increasingly need to do more with less. In any businesses model, but particularly in the auto industry, there is a constant focus on materials cost to preserve margins all while their products become more technologically sophisticated. Guest blog written by Marques McCammon.

IoT software to critical infrastructure provider, Wind River, has collaborated with BT on a research activity showcasing edge cloud compute applications. The joint proof of concept will be demonstrated by Wind River (booth C7) at SDN NFV World Congress 2018 and features Wind River Titanium Cloud, a deployment-ready virtualisation software platform.

Becoming an increasingly hot topic ‘Cloudification’ is especially a big talking point at telecom conferences and in conversations with service providers. Here Wind River will provide some observations on the business opportunities driving this focus on cloudification and explain why containers are becoming as important as Virtual Machines (VMs) for new telecom use cases that are moving towards deployment.

In the world today there are so many events that may cause a spike in viewership of video content over a carrier network. For example, if people in a sporting arena want to see an instant replay of something they just watched live, or perhaps a video has just gone viral. Guest blog written by Jeff Gowan.

Auto makers are under pressure to deliver more innovation at a faster pace than ever before, all the while maintaining high levels of safety. Typically, the introduction of new technologies means added complexity and greater cost. So, how can OEMs address evolving market needs and stay on time and budget?  Guest blog written by Marques McCammon.

As we are faced with increasing complexity and scale of software in safety critical systems, the trend towards workload consolidation platforms using multi-core processors brings entanglement and interference issues that complicate resource provisioning, predictability, understand-ability, element separation and, ultimately, certify-ability, security and safety. Guest blog written by Maarten Koning, Wind River.

Protecting patients and promoting public health is a key directive for the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA). This directive includes oversight on the safe and secure use of medical devices for patient care. Guest blog written by Jeff Kataoka, Wind River.

Wind River has announced collaboration plans with Hyundai Autron to develop a software framework for safe, automated and autonomous driving leveraging intellectual property from Wind River’s automotive software portfolio and the HYUNDAI AUTRON ODIN product offering. Wind River software can help teams rapidly develop, build and deploy highly safe, secure and reliable vehicle systems for connected and autonomous cars.

Even if you went on a really long vacation this summer, perhaps backpacking deep into California’s John Muir trail, you’ve probably heard at least something about all the work that’s been going on in The Open Group’s Open Process Automation Forum, or OPAF.  Guest blog written by Breault, Wind River.  

Software content is increasing in every realm of technology, and has been the catalyst for the explosive growth of entirely new market sectors. The development and deployment of software at scale has matured significantly over the last decade in enterprise- and cloud-IT applications. Guest blog written by Gareth Noyes, Wind River.

Global industries are going through a major transformation as a result of both digital transformation and the never ceasing need to become more cost efficient. New factories are being built in Asia, Europe, and Latin America as developing countries strive to grow their industrial infrastructure.  Guest blog written by Jeff Kataoka.

One of the fantastic things about network virtualisation is that it is enabling the telecommunications industry to be much more creative. By virtualising the functions that make up a telco network and running those functions on standardised servers, it opens up many more opportunities to do things differently, more cost effectively, and better. So, how is creativity being applied specifically? Guest blog written by Jeff Gowan.

Cast your minds back to the year 2002. Brazil is winning the FIFA World Cup and the first cell phone to have a built-in camera is released in the US – yes, this story is THAT old. In the world of secure and reliable systems, Wind River releases VxWorks 5.5. Fast forward 16 years, VxWorks 5.5 reaches its End-of-Life (EOL) status and the world is never going to be the same again. Guest blog written by Andreea Volosincu.

When a wind turbine collects sensor data about its surrounding environment, or an off-shore oil rig logs its readings into its records, the data can be analysed for decision-making factors: Are the sudden changes in engine noise an indication of wear?  Are there any flying objects headed towards danger zones? Are the engine settings optimal for the current weather pattern? Guest blog written by Ka Kay Achacoso, Wind River.

RTCA DO-178C / EUROCAE ED-12C safety certification is a crucial step for safety-critical avionics software programs, but for many program managers and software leads it still poses significant risk, especially when using multi-core processors. This risk is mainly due to the fact that certification authorities have not yet issued formal guidance or policy on multi-core certification. Guest blog by Paul Parkinson.

Back in 2012, telecom service providers worldwide launched a collaborative initiative to establish open standards for the virtualisation of telecom networking functions, which came to be known as Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV). Given the fierce competition in this market as well as anti-trust concerns, this was very much the equivalent of Donald Trump sitting down for a chat with Kim Jong Un, though the modest venue for the first NFV conf...

Network virtualisation gives critical infrastructure operators unprecedented flexibility and choice when it comes to selecting software-based networking solutions. The separation of software from purpose-built hardware frees operators from decades of vendor lock-in and reasserts their control over technology roadmaps. Understandably, the roll-your-own approach is enticing for network operators. Guest blog written by Jeff Gowan.
