Technical Sessions

MONDAY, APRIL 23, 2001
9:00 am—10:30 am
Bollella Hardin Opening Remarks, Best Paper Awards, and Keynote Address

Keynote: Virtual Machines, Real Time
Greg Bollella, Sun Microsystems Laboratories, and David Hardin, aJile Systems, Inc.

Virtual machine execution environments provide platform independence crucial to the continued expansion of the embedded and real-time systems software markets. Comparing sources of unpredictability in virtual and silicon machines, we argue that a properly engineered virtual machine is indeed capable of providing highly predictable logic execution. In particular, we show how the Real-Time Specification for Java, through a limited set of modifications to the Java language specification and Java virtual machine specification, provides a predictable platform for the execution of Java code.
