Focus on the China Embedded System Development Conference held in Jinan in September [Copy link]

Recently, the reporter learned from the organizing committee of the Information Industry Expo that the 2006 China Embedded System Development Conference (ESCHINA2006), jointly sponsored by the China Embedded System Professional Committee and the China Semiconductor Association, will be held on September 22 as a supporting event of the Information Industry Expo. This is another academic and industry event on embedded systems hosted by the provincial capital Jinan after the 2005 China Embedded System Development Conference (ESCHINA2005). By then, well-known technical experts at home and abroad, technical research departments of major enterprises, scientific research institutes of major universities, experts and technicians from the industry and academia, and leaders of various application units will attend this event.
This exhibition will focus on displaying the latest achievements, development trends and applications of embedded technologies and embedded systems at home and abroad in various fields, while looking forward to the embedded system industry and market. A forum with the theme of short-distance communication will also be held, aiming to recommend the most representative short-distance wireless communication technology to the industry and scientific research community, promote the integration of short-distance communication technology and embedded systems, and thus form a new industrial competitive advantage. Promoting the integration of embedded systems and communication technology and strengthening the application of embedded systems in communication technology will have great strategic significance for the development of the IT industry.
Embedded systems have great development potential
. According to data, by 2008, the market size of embedded products will reach 8 billion US dollars in six major application areas, including computers, consumer electronics, communications, automobiles, industrial control, and government industries. China's informatization and the construction of a well-off society in an all-round way have put forward huge demands on the embedded system market. The annual demand for information home appliances has reached hundreds of millions of units. Each type of digital home appliance has a market demand of tens of millions of units. The demand for embedded systems for industrial control is hundreds of thousands of units (sets), and the demand for commercial embedded systems has exceeded several million units. China already has the mass production capacity of integrated circuits and level products. The export of embedded application products is also gradually increasing, and the proportion of global market share is also increasing year by year. It is estimated that by 2005, China's embedded computers will create a benefit of 100 billion yuan. The domestic and foreign markets provide a broad space for China's embedded system industry to make great achievements.
Experts predict that embedded industrial equipment will integrate more intelligent functions such as communication and networking, and will be more widely used in the automotive electronics market, medical electronics market, machine tool electronics market, indoor/outdoor video surveillance market and electronic tag market.
Opportunities and Challenges of Embedded Systems
The huge demand for information-based home appliances not only provides a broad market and development space for embedded products, but also poses new challenges to the related technologies of embedded systems, especially software technologies such as functional density, network connection, and information processing.
China's informatization and the construction of a well-off society in an all-round way have put forward huge demands on the embedded system market. The annual demand for information-based home appliances has reached hundreds of millions of units. This number is undoubtedly the market and profit for embedded product manufacturers. However, with the maturity of Internet technology and the improvement of bandwidth, the information content provided by ICP and ASP on the Internet is becoming richer and the application projects are more diverse. The functions of embedded electronic devices such as mobile phones, landlines, refrigerators, and microwave ovens are no longer single, and the electrical structure is more complex. The original technology and production capacity have been "decoupled" from today or the coming tomorrow. This will be a major threshold for the future development of embedded product manufacturers. Powerful development tools and operating system support are necessary for the development of future embedded application software.
The further development of the Internet era has pointed out the direction for the development of embedded products. Equipped with one or more standard network communication interfaces, it has become a must-have function for embedded products. One of the important factors for embedded devices to have such a huge user base is their affinity with users, which can create a natural human-computer interaction interface. The interaction between users and information terminals in the Internet era has put forward higher requirements, that is, a multimedia interface centered on the GUI screen. Handwritten text input, voice dial-up Internet access, sending and receiving emails, and color graphics and images have achieved initial results. At present, some advanced PDAs have realized Chinese character writing and short message voice publishing on the display screen, but it should be noted that the current technology is still a long way from realizing palm-style language simultaneous translation.
Embedded products are constantly being improved in accordance with the requirements of the new era, and are constantly moving forward with the times. Advanced technical achievements such as Chinese character writing on the display screen and short message voice publishing are constantly being released and put into use. However, the development of the Internet era is measured in minutes or even seconds. If embedded systems want to continue to develop, they need to keep pace with the times, adapt to the Internet, and integrate into the Internet.
Embedded systems will be another wave of world high-tech development after PC and INTERNET, and a new economic growth point for the information industry. The rapid development of communication technology has attracted extensive attention from industries and research institutions in various countries. Among them, wireless short-range communication technologies, such as Bluetooth, infrared, RFID, and emerging technologies such as UWB, ZIGBEE, WIFI, and WIMAX, have become the future development direction of the communication industry.
The two hot spots appeared at the third CIIE at the same time and developed towards a trend of mutual integration, which undoubtedly has great appeal to exhibitors and experts from all walks of life. (Ding Jianfeng, Wang Haiqing)
