CRA compliance for embedded systems:
Theory and practice

Wednesday, June 12, 2024

The OSADL Networking Day will take place at:
Conference Center of DJH Youth Hostel Heidelberg International
Room "Heidelberg 1-3"
Tiergartenstraße 5
69120 Heidelberg, Germany
Get-together from 8:30am CEST
Start of the event: 9am CEST

Agenda - Hotel recommendation - Registration - Presentations and video clips (previous member or participant login required)

All regular, associate and academic OSADL members are cordially invited to participate in the OSADL Networking Day 2024 in Heidelberg, Germany. The idea of the event is to offer the OSADL community an opportunity to share their experiences with regard to using and distributing Free and Open Source software (FOSS) in products. This is best done by offering a good mix of conference-style talks on current topics with sufficiently long breaks for networking. The latter can then be continued during a visit to a cultural or technical event and remains the goal when the participants thereafter meet for dinner. It is a special pleasure to host the OSADL Networking Day as an in-person event in Heidelberg again, and the OSADL Team is looking forward to welcoming as many OSADL members as possible and, on request, a limited number of invited guests.

Conference session
This year, the conference part will focus on "CRA compliance for embedded systems: Theory and practice". As it is, however, rather impossible to cover this topic exhaustively in all its facets in one day, we have decided to present individual hightlights that encompass current legal background information as well as practical aspects of this topic. In particular, the presentations will center predominantly on aspects that have to be taken in mind when developing embedded systems. Following the presentations, a panel discussion with all speakers is planned, in which a special security case of an embedded system will be presented and discussed. We are pleased and grateful that the invited experts have accepted to participate and share their knowledge with us.

Evening event
Subsequent to the conference session, participants are cordially invited to a guided tour of the Heidelberg Castle, and the event will conclude with a joint dinner in a brewery restaurant in Heidelberg's Old Town.

Presentations and video clips will be made available here after the event (previous member or participant login required to display material)
