The Fourth Real-Time Linux Workshop invites the developer community to attend the upcoming conference and workshop to be held December 6-7, 2002 at the Computer Science Department of Boston University.

Conference overview

The GNU/Linux operating system, originally designed as a 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 by other means in order to guarantee real-time performance of the application running on top. These real-time Linux versions have been gaining more and more importance in industry. However, there are many questions unanswered for newcomers, users, and developers concerning topics such as: development tools, debugging applications, licensing models, stability of kernels, reliability of applications, and persistency and consistency of variants and their APIs. For these reasons this workshop offers . . .

• Kick start sessions for free to make you familiar with this rising technology
• 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

Abstracts of many of the technical presentations plus further details of the conference appear in this article at LinuxDevices.com . . .
