TTTech to Demonstrate Time-Triggered Protocol at SAE World Congress And in a Seminar and Workshop

               Time-Triggered Vs. Event-Triggered Communication
          Ideally Suited for Automotive Safety-Relevant Applications

    TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 5 -- TTTech Computertechnik AG, the
leading supplier of time-triggered technology and software, will give the
North American automotive community a detailed insight into its Time-Triggered
Protocol (TTP(R)) at a seminar and workshop, held March 10-13 at the Michigan
Manufacturing Technology Center (MMTC), Plymouth, Mich.
    TTTech will introduce TTP to the automotive industry at SAE World Congress
March 3 - 6 in Detroit's Cobo Center at Booth #1427.  On Thursday, March 6, at
9 a.m., TTTech, will present the technical paper "Improving Availability of
Time-Triggered Networks Even Further" in room W2-66 during the session on
Safety-Critical Systems.  This session has been organized by Brian Murray from
Delphi and Stefan Poledna from TTTech.
    Kurt Kober, senior support engineer from TTTech, will be the lecturer at
the introductory seminar, March 10-11, and the in-depth workshop, March 12-13,
providing the opportunity to get to know TTP and experience its value.
    The seminar will define the requirements of distributed fault-tolerant
real-time systems and how these communication requirements relate to the
properties of time-triggered as opposed to event-triggered communication.
Participants will be given an overview of the system architecture features
that meet specific application design requirements.
    The workshop will provide laboratory and hands-on exercises that will give
participants a comprehensive introduction to the tool-based development
process of a distributed system using TTP as the communication network.
    TTP (Time-Triggered Protocol) is a fault-tolerant high-speed in-vehicle
data communication network.  This mature, low-cost network solution is
specifically designed to handle safety-critical applications.  TTP enables new
and advanced automotive and aerospace applications, including by-wire,
integrated vehicle control systems, and driver assistance systems.
    The MMTC is located at 47911 Halyard Rd., Plymouth, Mich.  Additional
