OMG Real-Time/Embedded Certification Available

The OMG and the UML Technology Institute (UTI) have announced the launch of the OMG Certified Real-time Embedded Specialist (OCRES) certification program.

Designed for architects, developers, and programmers worldwide, OCRES measures and certifies knowledge of the real-time and embedded systems industry. Based on the OMG Certified UML Professional (OCU) exam series, OMG developed the exams in a joint effort with UTI, building on the real-time and embedded expertise of OMG's membership including the co-chairs of the OMG Task Forces that adopted the specifications, authors of the specifications, and other recognized authorities in real-time and embedded computing. UTI adminsters the program in Japan, China, and other parts of Asia, while the OMG administers it in the U.S., Europe, and the rest of the world.

"UTI is proud to be working at the leading edge of the critically important fields of real-time and embedded systems, and the launch of the OCRES certification program with OMG marks a major new advance in the growth of this exciting field. The support of key users in the Japanese manufacturing industries and our many partner companies has been important in the launch of this new program, and we expect a large number of participants throughout the world. The need for international standards of software quality for manufacturing and other embedded systems is central to product quality here in Japan, in the Asia-Pacific region and throughout the world," said UTI president Toshiyuki Ikari.

For more information about the exams, including free downloads of all the specifications referenced in the exams, and links to find a Prometric testing site are available.
