TTA-Group Open Forum on Next Generation Networks in Aerospace Industry

TTA-Group, a cross-industry consortium for time-triggered systems, is hosting an open forum on next generation networks in aerospace industry from April 24-25, 2007. TTA-Group said the two-day event, scheduled for Toulouse, France, is designed to advance open discussion on low-cost, time-triggered technologies and field buses in modern aircraft. Time-triggered field buses have the potential to resolve many system and engineering issues in the aerospace industry.
Time-triggered field buses can significantly reduce system complexity, lifecycle costs and aircraft weight. Since network features determine how different units interact with each other, they directly influence system architecture and complexity. They can significantly impact the design of modern aircraft avionics and control system architectures for next generation aircraft.
The goal of the forum is to promote an open dialog on time-triggered technologies as well as their impact on the creation of cost-effective system architectures. The forum brings together TTA-Group members and interested parties in order to share information and expertise, and to discuss the innovative technologies FlexRay and TTP (Time-Triggered Protocol). TTA-Group wants to provide attendees, such as system architects, system platform managers and software engineers, with practical information and the opportunity to discuss their ideas and challenges with leading industry experts.
