Tri-Pacific Software Demonstrates Device Software Optimization with Rate Monotonic Analysis Tool

Sunnyvale, CA — November 9, 2005. Tri-Pacific Software, Inc. (TPSI) is the leader in real-time modeling and analysis services and tools using Rate Monotonic Analysis (RMA) for the real-time and embedded device marketplace. “Tri-Pacific's RapidRMA™ is the first software tool to offer schedulability analysis and resource optimization as part of the embedded industry's Device Software Optimization (DSO) initiative” said Peter Kortmann, President of TPSI. RapidRMA optimizes device software development through:

• Integration with design tools that support real-time Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.0 extensions to model and analyze real-time behavior,

• Integration with popular cross-development tools and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to directly verify application schedulability and measure hardware utilization on the physical embedded device.

Peter went on to say “We took full advantage of ECI's editing and embedded technical marketing support as part of ECI's LectureMaker™ conferencing tool and Internet service to reach our target audience with our new RMA demonstration.” View Tri-Pacific Software's interactive demonstration hosted by ECI's LectureMaker service: www.embeddedcomponents.com/marketplace/makers/tripac/rtuml/.

“ECI designed its LectureMaker communication web service with engineers and other embedded industry experts in mind — by that I mean those who have little public speaking skills as well as those who have mastered the art of public speaking and just want more communication power” said Ron Fredericks, founder of ECI. “This is one of several unique tools offered to participants in our Embedded Components and Tools Marketplace™ for synergistic outreach and match-making service to the users, makers, and enablers of embedded components and tools.”

LectureMaker Internet conferencing tool:

• Offers time delayed communication between the presenter and his or her audience so that interactive Internet meetings can still be held but without attendance at the same time by all attendees. Thus attendees can login late or even on another day to participate without missing content or the value of interactive conferencing. The Internet should not force people around the world to participate in a web conference all at the same time like some old-fashion phone call.

• Incorporates a blog into the presentation tool. The blog allows attendees to ask questions and publish updates to the presentation itself, extending the useful life of the presentation. The blog feature also allows new participants to login and interact with the presenter and other interested viewers at any time.

• Collects sales leads or a record of attendance for as long as the lecture is hosted on ECI's web site.

• Takes an online web conference off-line! Online presentations are not always the best medium to present information, such as when traveling or during group discussions. Print or save the lecture along with all related blog activity using Adobe's Acrobat© PDF print engine built in to LectureMaker's service.
