"The Future is Now" - Embedded Tech Trends 2019

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” - Peter Drucker

I just flew in from San Diego and boy is my VPX tired! Coming to you from the Embedded Tech Trends Conference in Southern California, this week’s episode of Fish Fry is all about how open system architectures can drive innovation in the world of embedded design. First up, Mark Littlefield (Kontron) and I chat about the secrets of the success of open system architectures, the pros and cons of OpenVPX, and what SOSA (Sensor Open Systems Architecture) is doing to help solve some of the myriad of challenges we are facing in this arena. Also this week, I sit down with Jess Isquith (President/CEO - PICMG) and discuss the the power of open modular computing standards and the meaning behind her session at this year’s Embedded Tech Trends Conference called “The Past is Prologue”.
