New York, NY — (press release excerpt) — TimeSys takes on a strategic role in the development of the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ), as the Java Community Process JSR-00001 Real-Time Java Expert Group delegates to TimeSys responsibility for the RTSJ's Reference Implementation. The RTSJ extends Java's ability to control the deterministic behavior of embedded systems. TimeSys, represented in the RTJEG by Chief Scientist and CMU Professor Dr. Raj Rajkumar and VP Engineering Dr. Doug Locke, brings to the project its world-class leadership in guaranteed QoS and real-time systems.

Expected by its authors to be the first technologically and commercially successful real-time programming language, the Real-Time Specification for Java focuses on the core real-time issues of managing computing resources in order to satisfy application timeliness requirements, rather than more general topics of concurrence. The Java platform's promise of “Write Once, Run Anywhere,” together with the Java language's popularity, offers far greater cost-savings potential in the real-time and embedded domains than in those of desktops and servers. In addition to cost-savings, the RTSJ establishes a consensus of requirements and a common lexicon for real-time computing, paving the way for the future of real-time computing practice.

As creator of the Reference Implementation, TimeSys will supply an implementation prototype for the standard that, in combination with the official Test Suite, will enable other implementations to measure conformity to the standard. TimeSys will therefore play a key role in creating the protocols necessary for compliance to this groundbreaking real-time standard.
