Sep. 20, 2000
The Open Group has finalized the agenda for the upcoming Real-time and Embedded Systems Forum being held October 25 and 26 in Washington, DC. The Forum commences on the 25th with an open plenary session, with closed working group sessions on the 26th (for members only, or by invitation).
Open Plenary Agenda0900-0910 -- Introduction -- Andrew Josey, Director Server Platforms, The Open Group -- This session includes an update of the status of the Forum.
0910-0950 -- The Real-time and Embedded Systems marketplace -- Tom Williams, Editor-in-Chief, RTC magazine. This session will look at current marketplace trends for real-time and embedded systems.
0950-1030 -- Embedded Linux -- Michael Tiemann, Red Hat Inc. This session will give a status update and overview of EL/IX, an Embedded Linux Specification modeled on the POSIX profiles for embedded systems.
1030 -- Break
1100-1145 -- Requirements for Real-time and Embedded systems -- Speaker, US Department of Defense. This session will discuss the the requirements for real-time and embedded systems from a customer perspective, highlighting the importance of conformance testing.
1145-1230 -- The Real-time Specification for Java -- Greg Bollella, Senior Staff Engineer, Sun Microsystems Laboratories. A preliminary version of the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) has been published by Addison Wesley. Developed under the Java Community Process the RTSJ will not be considered final until a reference implementation and a set of test suites become available (expected mid-2001). This talk covers the rationale for the features of the RTSJ and some technical details of the RTSJ. The RTSJ specifies enhancements to seven areas of the Java Language Specification and the Java Virtual Machine Specification: Scheduling, Memory Management, Synchronization, Asynchronous Event Handling, Asynchronous Transfer of Control, Asynchronous Thread Termination, and Physical Memory Access.
1230-1330 -- Lunch
1330-1410 -- What's happening in Real-time CORBA -- Dock Allen, The Object Management Group/Mitre Corporation. This session will cover the current status of real-time CORBA and UML. Dock will also provide a look ahead towards specifications currently under development and future plans. This is also be an opportunity for members to provide feedback to the OMG Realtime SIG on the relative importance of the current initiatives, and what the members would like to see in CORBA.
1410-1455 -- APIs for Real-time Distributed Applications over IP -- Peter Bolton, RTI, Inc.
1455-1540 -- Real-time in Solaris, An Engineering Overview -- Jim Litchfield, Senior Staff Engineer, Solaris Operating Systems group, Sun Microsystems, Inc. This session covers the features in the Solaris Operating Environment that support real-time, especially in its application to multi-processor systems. Discussion will cover scheduling classes, memory management, timers, processor control and POSIX conformance. Measured response time numbers for the current version of the operating system will be presented.
1540 -- Break
1600-1730 -- Panel Session -- The speakers from the plenary will participate in an open panel session answering questions from the audience. Thursday October 26th is a day of sessions for members only, or by invitation. These are working sessions of the Forum, with sessions on the following topics: Certification, the Distributed Real-time Specification for Java, Uniform Driver Interface, New APIs (including a Linux Interest Group), a Microsoft Windows Interest Group, and Security and Real-time and Embedded Systems. The day will be split into two parallel tracks with breakout sessions, with a plenary session at the start of the morning.
