10th international CAN Conference

The 10th iCC took place in Rome, Italy together with several CiA workshops. The sessions covered time-triggered communication, physical layer issues, vehicle applications, network topologies, and others topics.

Atmel and System Electronics as well as some publications (EDN Europe, Lift Report, RTC Books, and VNU Business Publications) sponsored the 10th iCC.
