The GNU/Linux operating system, originally designed as general purpose operating system, is nevertheless employed in many embedded and real-time applications where some form of real-time performance is required. To meet these timing requirements, several approaches can and have been undertaken, either in the kernel, by add-ons or other means in order to guarantee real-time performance of the application running on top. These real-time Linux versions gains more and more importance in industry. However, there are many questions unanswered for newcomers, users and developers: concerning development tools, debugging applications, licensing models, stability of kernels, reliability of applications, persistancy and consistency of variants and their API. For these reasons the this workshop offers :
kick start sessions for free to make you familiar with this rising technlology, paper presentations on new developments and technologies, contributions, and on applications in industry, Linux in control Birds of a feather (BOF) session bring together developers and users, as well as developers of variants themselves, discuss user demands with users, and implementation issues with co-developers in hands-on sessions : Show me your code ! encourage the spirit of a community, exhibition area for companies.
