  • Microsoft and Wind River Are Currently in a "Dead Heat" For
    Microsoft and Wind River are currently in a "dead heat" for the top position in sales of embedded operating system software and toolkits, according to Stephen Balacco, embedded software analyst at Venture Development Corp. (VDC). In terms of the sale of real-time operating systems, on the other hand, Balacco said Wind River still maintains a "commanding market leadership position," but noted that Wind River has been "as challenged as any supplier in this market space over the last two years in the face of a slumping telecommunications industry, where they have been highly leveraged for sales, as well as [from] increased competition from royalty-free and Linux OS vendors making inroads." While not disclosing specific market share numbers publicly, VDC provided the following list indicating the market share position in terms of sales revenue, for the leading vendors in the embedded operating system market . 1. Microsoft 2. Wind River 3. Symbian 4. Palm 5. QNX 6. Enea Data 7. Green Hills Software 8. LynuxWorks 9. MontaVista Software 10. Accelerated Technology (Mentor Graphics) Included among key factors identified by VDC as impacting this market were . • Increased focus and emphasis on bundling integrated development solutions that minimize unnecessary and repetitive development and allow OEMs to focus on their core competencies in differentiating their product through the application; • Ability of OS vendors to adapt business models that are flexible in their pricing and terms and conditions in response to a changing set of market requirements spurred on by competitive market forces; and • A telecommunications market that continues to struggle has affected investments in new projects.

  • Research Purpose Operating Systems – a Wide Survey
    GESJ: Computer Science and Telecommunications 2010|No.3(26) ISSN 1512-1232 RESEARCH PURPOSE OPERATING SYSTEMS – A WIDE SURVEY Pinaki Chakraborty School of Computer and Systems Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi – 110067, India. E-mail: pinaki_chakraborty_163@yahoo.com Abstract Operating systems constitute a class of vital software. A plethora of operating systems, of different types and developed by different manufacturers over the years, are available now. This paper concentrates on research purpose operating systems because many of them have high technological significance and they have been vividly documented in the research literature. Thirty-four academic and research purpose operating systems have been briefly reviewed in this paper. It was observed that the microkernel based architecture is being used widely to design research purpose operating systems. It was also noticed that object oriented operating systems are emerging as a promising option. Hence, the paper concludes by suggesting a study of the scope of microkernel based object oriented operating systems. Keywords: Operating system, research purpose operating system, object oriented operating system, microkernel 1. Introduction An operating system is a software that manages all the resources of a computer, both hardware and software, and provides an environment in which a user can execute programs in a convenient and efficient manner [1]. However, the principles and concepts used in the operating systems were not standardized in a day. In fact, operating systems have been evolving through the years [2]. There were no operating systems in the early computers. In those systems, every program required full hardware specification to execute correctly and perform each trivial task, and its own drivers for peripheral devices like card readers and line printers.

    Selection of a new hardware and software platform for railway interlocking Arghya Kamal Bhattacharya School of Electrical Engineering Thesis submitted for examination for the degree of Master of Science in Technology. Espoo 27.04.2020 Supervisor Prof. Valeriy Vyatkin Advisor MSc. Tommi Kokkonen Copyright ⃝c 2020 Arghya Kamal Bhattacharya Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of the master’s thesis Author Arghya Kamal Bhattacharya Title Selection of a new hardware and software platform for railway interlocking Degree programme Automation and Electrical Engineering Major Control, Robotics and Autonomous Systems Code of major ELEC3025 Supervisor Prof. Valeriy Vyatkin Advisor MSc. Tommi Kokkonen Date 27.04.2020 Number of pages 82+34 Language English Abstract The interlocking system is one of the main actors for safe railway transportation. In most cases, the whole system is supplied by a single vendor. The recent regulations from the European Union direct for an “open” architecture to invite new game changers and reduce life-cycle costs. The objective of the thesis is to propose an alternative platform that could replace a legacy interlocking system. In the thesis, various commercial off-the-shelf hardware and software products are studied which could be assembled to compose an alternative interlocking platform. The platform must be open enough to adapt to any changes in the constituent elements and abide by the proposed baselines of new standardization initiatives, such as ERTMS, EULYNX, and RCA. In this thesis, a comparative study is performed between these products based on hardware capacity, architecture, communication protocols, programming tools, security, railway certifications, life-cycle issues, etc.
