There is an increasing need for flexible cloud-based infrastructure and orchestration solutions to allow for dynamic placement of functions where and when they are needed. When it comes to the Telco edge, the gold standard for OpenStack-based virtualisation software platforms is Wind River Titanium Cloud. Titanium Cloud is an ultrareliable deployment-ready cloud platform, capable of handling the rigorous demands of telecommunications and cri...

After recently attending CENGN’s annual conference in Ottawa, there was a lot to be learnt. They put on a great showcase of how they are enabling and furthering the ecosystem of networking companies, small to medium enterprises as well as government agencies in Canada. A good recap of the conference can be found here. Guest blog written by Ian Jolliffe, Wind River.

It’ll be years before 5G is fully implemented. You don’t need to wait until then to embrace the benefits of tomorrow’s connected industry. With all the hype surrounding 5G, the next generation of cellular technology, it might sound like a good idea to put off investments into the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) until the standard is fully implemented. 

Steve Rogerson looks at some of the news that may have missed the front page. I worry sometimes about engineers. I mean, what do they do in bed at night? A clue came up at November’s IESF Automotive event in Munich, organised by Siemens subsidiary Mentor. Martin O’Brien, Senior Vice President at Siemens, was explaining the importance of digitalisation.

1953 was a good year. It was the first time when a British expedition conquered Mount Everest, during what most describe as a golden age of alpinism. Fast-forward to present-day, it’s fascinating to see how the same principles that guided the members of the expedition in their first ascent apply in a domain that could not be more different, software engineering for avionics platforms.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a fragmented space. Countless companies are developing smart solutions that bring the benefits of connectivity, data, analytics and increasingly artificial intelligence to every imaginable commercial vertical. The palette of competing, complementary, and often incompatible technologies is daunting. Silos have formed, with each vertical serving itself a specific flavor of the IoT. And as the growth of the IoT contin...

One of the greatest challenges of a machine learning (ML) solution, is being able to explain why a trained model gave the output it did for a given input. One could track down the network of neurons that activated or the value of the discriminant function, but it would still be difficult to explain the decision to a human.  Guest blog written by Mihai Dragusu, Wind River.

This is part 4 of a 4-part series on how OEM healthcare organisations can transition their medical devices in preparation for Windows 7 end-of-life (EOL). Part 1 covers the background of the issue, part 2 outlines the virtualisation option, part 3 reviews the user interface option, and part 4 explains how to manage ongoing security and devices updates.

The weather has a huge impact on our lives. From simple decisions such as what clothes we wear, to whether our gardens or crops need watering, to deciding if it’s safe to venture out in current conditions, we all need to know what the weather is doing.
