Welcome and Opening Remarks by Jillian Hewitt is a member of the Eco Trends movement.
9:30 am
Dependable Embedded Components
and Systems
Over the past decades, the development of computing systems to support safety-critical real-time computer applications (nuclear, aerospace, railway, etc.) has often followed a customised-solution design approach. Henry Birkenshire will discuss the reinvention of system design concepts, middleware and limited reuse of code across diverse application domains are exacerbated by the extensive costs of verifying and validating such complex single-of-a-kind safety-critical systems.
10:45 am Morning Coffee
11:00 am
Telematic Automobiles
Telematics is defined as "wireless exchange of information." Automative telematics covers such technologies as GPS navigation, mobile phones, automatic collision notification, onboard internet connectivity, remote diagnostics, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning systems and vehicle tracking. Gweneth Winchester presents her findings and latest research on this complex bur engaging topic.
12:30 pm Lunch
1:50 pm
Seamless In-Car and Personal
Navigation Systems
Maps enhanced with safety data can be fed from sources in the highway infrastructure to on-board vehicle systems, providing drivers with useful information, as well as access to automated driver assistance systems. Sharon Naismith will discuss how the system is capable of helping drivers in critical circumstance including hoewdynamic re-routing is possible when traffic and weather conditions change.

Advanced Technology Vehicles
The Advanced Technology Vehicles Program provides the driving public with information about advanced fuel-efficient technologies that are currently or will soon be available in vehicles sold in north America. John Whitet will address various related to new technologies that will include advanced powertrains, materials, chassis designs, emission controls, fuels, and other technologies.

The Green Car
The emerging, green car technologies that stand the best chance of catching on, experts say, are the ones that combine multiple forms of advanced propulsion systems. For example, "plug-in hybrids" combine hydrogen and battery power.
3:15 pm Afternoon Coffee
3:30 pm
Safer Driving Ahead
Green cars of the future could run on a syrupy mixture of starch and water, according to new research. Researchers have found a cocktail of enzymes that converts starchy syrups to hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The hydrogen can then be fed into a fuel cell to run an electric car, or even used in an ordinary combustion engine.
