The resolution to dissolve TRON ASSOCIATION was passed at the extraordinary general meeting of TRON ASSOCIATION held on December 25, 2009. The activities which have been conducted by ITRON Specification Study Group, TRON Education and Promotion Group, and TRON Multi-Character Application Group of TRON ASSOCIATION will be taken over by T-Engine Forum.

In the embedded systems field, ITRON specification OS and T-Kernel account for approximately 60 percent in market share. By adding those who consider adopting ITRON specification OS to T-Engine Forum activity, we will work together on the dissemination and educational activity of open OS based on TRON specifications.

This year, TRON activity will go global. For example, T-Engine Forum China established in China in 2009 will start day-to-day operation, and TRONSHOW is planned to be held outside Japan such as in China, EU, etc. for the first time.

Real world application of ubiquitous ID technology including ucode have progressed in various fields as well as various feasibility study experiments. We are expecting to introduce many usage examples using ucode this year.

Thank you for your continuing support to TRON Project in advance and best wishes to all of you.

The registration for participation in FY2009 "Tokyo Ubiquitous Technology Project" Feasibility Study Experiments is now accepted.

The registration for participation in the feasibility study experiment of FY2009 "Tokyo Ubiquitous Technology Project" which has been conducted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in cooperation with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is now accepted. By walking in Ginza with Ubiquitous Communicator (UC), you can experience the route guidance to your destination and the service to automatically provide you with the information related to your current location. Also, you can experience the panorama guidance at the Observatories of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, the guidance at the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Building, etc. in Shinjuku area. The participation is for free, but requires a registration for this experiment using UC. For details, please visit the following website:
