High-performance graphics and DO-178B certification highlight master classes at Avionics 2009
AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, 7 Jan 2009. – Software graphics development and certification for avionics systems are the topics for master classes at the Avionics 2009 conference and exhibition. The event will be held March 11 and 12 at the Air Passenger terminal in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The conference theme is "Moving on to New Heights," and content will touch on how designers and system integrators are handling the challenges of next-generation systems and standards for avionics in commercial and defense applications.
The first master class – "Developing High Performance Graphics for Avionics Systems" – will begin at 10:30 am on March 11. The lead presenter is Juan Wong, manager, marketing communications at Presagis in Montreal, Quebec. The co-author of his presentation is Luc Marcil, product manager for HMI at Presagis.
The second master class, tilted "DO-178B Certification of an IMA (Integrated Modular Avionics) System, from the Challenges to Demonstration of Compliance," begins at 2:00 pm on March 11. The presenters are George Romanski, president of Verocel USA and Olivier Charrier, EMEA principal engineer at Wind River France.
Other key speakers include Lars Lindberg, president of AVTECH in Akersberga, Sweden, Julio Ferreira, advanced design engineer for Embraer in Spain, Benjamin Wepfer, team leader for product management at RUAG Aerospace AG in Bern, Switzerland, Chris Nicholas, supportability and mission systems team leader, for the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), and Eric Billar, program manager for SESAR Civil Military Contribution at Eurocontrol in Brussels, Belgium.
Session topics include future air traffic management technology, next-generation military technology, electronic flight bags, certification and standards for future avionics systems (UAV's), technology for runway incursion, use of multicore processors in avionics systems, cost benefit analysis of implementing performance-based navigation and avionics upgrades, and more.
Avionics 2009 is brought to you by Avionics Intelligence and >Military & Aerospace Electronics magazine. The Avionics-Intelligence Website and eNewsletter launched in November 2008 and covers all aspects of commercial and defense avionics.
The content is for program and project managers, engineering managers, engineers, and commercial and military aerospace executives who are involved in avionics integration, manufacture, design, and technology standards development.

This spring PennWell, the parent company of Military & Aerospace Electronics magazine, purchased Avionics Expo Limited, a U.K. company which owned and produced the Avionics conference and exhibition. The show's founder, Adrian Broadbent, was retained as event director.
PennWell also announced the first global expansion of the Avionics exposition with Avionics U.S.A., scheduled to run concurrently with the Military & Aerospace Electronics Forum in San Diego at the San Diego convention center on June 1 and 2, 2009. The new event offers two separate conferences and a shared exhibit floor. This shared environment will allow the senior level attendees to walk the entire show floor and mingle with the executives attending each event. Avionics U.S.A. conference content will be modeled after the Amsterdam event
