WHAT: Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: WIND), the global leader in device software optimization (DSO), will host a series of developer conferences around the world, beginning November 9, 2004. The conferences are designed to educate developers about Wind River’s core product lines — Workbench, General Purpose Platform and Market Specific Platforms. Wind River engineers will provide tutorials and hands-on access to the new technology. In addition, the conference will also highlight current industry and technology trends.

WHY: Come learn how Wind River solutions enable engineers to develop and run device software better, faster, at a lower cost and more reliably.

The complexity of device software development is increasing. The average device now has more than one million lines of code — and that number is doubling every two years. With Wind River, companies can standardize their device software development, enabling their developers to focus on innovation and product differentiation.
