Hi all,
Linux has become a powerful operating system challenging the
OS and computer market, because it is open source and adaptable
to different hardware and computing problems. In particular,
there are some groups spread over the world developing some
modifications to the linux kernel in order to provide a hard
real time operation system, e.g. the NMT real time linux, the
RTAI variant, KURT etc. Since IMHO
1. developpers know one each other just by email,
2. there is also a growing demand for real time
operating systems for different platforms,
3. there is a threat that the separation in different
variants can introduce a negative feedback in the
real time linux development loop because of the lack
of a unified application interface,
a Workshop could yield the following benefits:
1. Bring together the developers, because there are
more channels of human communication in a conversation.
2. Presentation the different versions of real time linux,
NMT rt-linux, RTAI rt-linux to a general audience of
researchers, developers and industrial companies.
3. Profound discussion on the possibility of a unified
approach involving mainly NMT and RTAI people.
4. Discussion on a general application interface for a
real time linux version being independend on the
hardware platform it is ported to, e.g AlphaAXP.
5. Agreement on a unified approach for different computer
hardware, even embedded systems.
And that's why we propose:
Real Time Linux Workshop
A real time linux meeting in real time and on a real place.
http://www.thinkingnerds.com/projects/rtl-ws/rtl-ws.html
December (unsigned int N). 1999
Institut for Machine and Process Automation,
Vienna University of Technology,
Guszhausstr. 27-29, 1040 Vienna, Austria
The date is not fixed yet (apart from the type), but since
development is very fast in Linux, December should be possible.
We would really be glad, if there is a positive echo from
this group, especially from the NMT and the RTAI group, and
from anywhere else,
