======================================================================


Over 90% of all microprocessors are now used for real-time and embedded
applications. Embedded devices are deployed on a broad diversity of distinct
processor architectures and operating systems. The application software for
many embedded devices is custom tailored if not written entirely from scratch.
The size of typical embedded system software applications is growing
exponentially from year to year, with many of today's embedded systems
comprised of multiple millions of lines of code. For all of these reasons, the
software portability, reuse, and modular composability benefits offered by
Java are especially valuable to developers of embedded systems.


Both embedded and general-purpose software frequently need to comply with
real-time constraints. Higher-level programming languages and middleware are
needed to robustly and productively design, implement, compose, integrate,
validate, and enforce memory and real-time constraints along with conventional
functional requirements for reusable software components. 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.


::Goal::


Interest in real-time Java by both the academic research community and
commercial industry has been motivated by the need to manage the complexity
and costs associated with continually expanding embedded real-time software
systems. The goal of the 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 experience gained by researchers.


The Java ecosystem has outgrown the combination of Java as programming
language and the JVM. For example, Android uses Java as source language and
the Dalvik virtual machine for execution. Languages such as Scala are compiled
to Java bytecode and executed on the JVM. JTRES welcomes submissions that
apply such approaches to embedded and/or real-time systems.


::Submission Requirements::


Participants are expected to submit a paper of at most 10 pages (ACM
Conference Format, i.e., two-columns, 10 point font). Accepted papers will be
published in the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series via the ACM
Digital Library and have to be presented by one author at the JTRES.


LaTeX and Word templates can be found at:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html


Papers describing open source projects shall include a description how to
obtain the source and how to run the experiments in the appendix. The source
version for the published paper will be hosted at the JTRES web site.
Papers should be submitted through EasyChair. Please use the submission link:

Selected papers will be invited for submission to a special issue of the TBD.


Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to:


        New real-time programming paradigms and language features
        Industrial experience and practitioner reports
