embedded applications, and the behavior of many of these applications

is constrained by the physical world. Higher-level programming

languages and middleware are needed to robustly and productively

design, implement, compose, integrate, validate, and enforce

real-time constraints along with conventional functional requirements

and reusable components. It is essential that the production of

real-time embedded systems can take advantage of languages, tools,

and methods that enable higher software productivity. The Java

programming language has become an attractive choice because of its

safety, productivity, its relatively low maintenance costs, and the

availability of well trained developers.

Although it features good software engineering characteristics,

standard Java is unsuitable for developing real-time embedded

systems, mainly due to under-specification of thread scheduling and

the presence of garbage collection. These problems are addressed by

the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ). The intent of this

specification is the development of real-time applications by

providing several additions such as extending the Java memory model

and providing stronger semantics in thread scheduling.

Interest in real-time Java in both the research community and

industry has recently increased significantly, because of its

challenges and its potential impact on the development of embedded

and real-time applications. The goal of the proposed workshop is to

gather researchers working on real-time and embedded Java to identify

the challenging problems that still need to be solved in order to

assure the success of real-time Java as a technology, and to report

results and experiences gained by researchers.
