Components in Electronics October 2014

electronica 2014 INTRODUCTION & CONTENTS

Welcome to Planet e Contents

e

lectronica has been showing the electronic trends of tomorrow and providing a comprehensive overview of the international electronics industry for 50 years, and 2014 will be no different. Key topics will be

automotive electronics, embedded systems, lighting and medical electronics as well as the over-arching themes of security and energy efficiency. This year around 2700 exhibitors from around the world are expected to attend. In 2012 over 73,000 visitors attended the exhibition from 79 countries. According to the German Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers' Industry Association the global market for electrical and electronic products grew by 3 per cent and is now worth in excess of 3.7trn euros.

This year several forums will be held inviting attendees to exchange ideas and dialogue. The range of topics is extensive and they will be explored in more detail within the conference programme running alongside the exhibition.

Automotive electronics remain one of the most important segments in the market for electronic components. Automobiles already have on-board computers as well as infotainment and assistance systems. Electromobility – the increased networking of automobiles – could result in even more potential for the industry.

In this supplement Steve Rogerson explores some of these issues. There is certainly no doubt that the automotive industry is undergoing a technical

revolution. What was once purely in the domain of science fiction is now an achievable reality. The electronica automotive conference is held on the 10th November, a day before the exhibition itself opens. Lectures focus on lighting, sensor fusion and connectivity with keynotes from Audi, Valeo, and Intel Corporation. Being held for the second time the embedded platforms conference runs

from the 12th-13th November and looks to shed light on all aspects of innovative hardware and software from component selection to system design and looks to demonstrate how the industry can look to meet future challenges.

In this year's CIE electronica supplement we address some of these themes. Will Keegan, Technical Director, Software Security at Lynx Software

Technologies addresses the importance of security in terms of delivering vehicle to vehicle communications; security in embedded systems is a pre- requisite and on page 7 Dave Beal from Xilinx examines how secure features can enable engineers to develop solutions capable of targeting a range of security conscious end-applications. Welcome to this year's electronica – the entire universe of electronics at a single location.
