  a la Mobile - Solutions - Convergent Linux
As operating systems and application suites become more complex the industry is demanding over-the-air updates of the software in a handset.
The Convergent Linux platform is capable of integrating an appropriate Java™ platform, whether it's the broadly deployed JTWI platform or the upcoming Mobile Services Architecture (MSA) Platform currently being defined in the Java Community Process.
While it is important for the platform to be complete, it is equally important that manufacturers and operators be enabled to differentiate their offering by augmenting or replacing individual components of the platform.

One expert in operating system architecture, a professor of computer science from the University of Maryland with impressive credentials, was called by C3 to testify.
He bases his opinion on the meaning of "operating system" as that term is currently understood by professionals in the field of research with whom he interacts.
Using the definition of "cooperating-hosted system" appearing in the NIST testing policy (Finding 37), he concluded that the "another operating system" mentioned in that definition is in fact the Windows NT POSIX Subsystem and the kernel.

 Convergent Technologies Operating System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Convergent Technologies Operating System, also known variously as CTOS, BTOS and STARSYS, was a modular, message-passing, multi-process based operating system.
Most of the system programs were written in PL/M, an Algol-like language from Intel which compiled directly to object code without a runtime library.
Convergent Technologies' first product was the IWS (Integrated Workstation) based on the Intel 8086 processor, which had CTOS as its operating system.

PTC technologies, similar to those being introduced in highway and transit settings under Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), make it possible for railroad operators to use the current infrastructure more efficiently by running trains (including the high-speed trains of the future) more safely at closer separation distances from each other.
The goal of the railroad industry is to develop technologies and operating procedures that can enhance the safety and efficiency of their operations.
It is in the federal interest to standardize the new technologies and increase competition, so that railroads including Amtrak and state sponsors of high speed rail can have more potential suppliers in the future; competition among suppliers will help to assure the cost-effectiveness of high speed rail operations.

 FAQ - compact flash GSM GPRS card
For example, the operator can dynamically manage the roaming profile within the SIM card, making sure that when the subscriber is outside the 'home' network, the phone uses the network that offers the lowest roaming fees.
There is an increasing need for operators to manage their subscriber and SIM card base remotely, allowing them the flexibility to deploy new applications and services with ease.
Since the operator controls the U/SIM, they own the identification of the end-user and have a billing relationship and superior access to other information such as customer location, etc. The identification of the end-user can be used for many applications, such as payments, VPN logins, digital identity, etc.
