Papers will cover the design and use of such equipment, with a strong accent on software and systems integration as well as development of the standards. During the first two days, the conference will concentrate on technical and scientific topics. On the third day, participating companies will present their latest design concepts. In parallel with the conference and at the same location, VITA will hold an exhibition of VMEbus hardware and associated software on 12 & 13 October. The combination of conference and exhibition, with hardware, software and systems aspects being discussed and displayed, should enable users, manufac- turers and systems integrators to identify problems and requirements, and to discuss new solutions and future developments.
