These are the set of the slides that were used for my (Mark Taipan) technical talk regarding Applications of Microsoft Embedded Systems. This talk was held on Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 at 4PM in KINGS S320 at the University of New Hampshire. I covered an overview of Microsoft Embedded System technology, a little bit about Project54, and discussed some of the work done on the Kingsbury Location Awareness System (KLAS). Please contact me if you would like more detailed information regarding any of the topics discussed in the presentation.
