Yes, it's right; my student is actually working on a first investigation in 
order to prepare its diploma project which starts from October to December.
So, the most insteresting results should not come up until then. 

The project consists in enhancing LTTng with Xenomai events and some specific 
algorithmic filtering on the related events, such as detecting abnormal 
situations (deadline misses, priority inversion at a certain level, etc.); the 
way how events are presented are also an issue to be considered (events per 
threads and not per process, different ways to represent the events). We are 
therefore very open to some proposals and ideas.
The interesting thing is that Jean-Olivier (the student) will perform his 
project at Matthieu Denoyers's premises at Montreal; besides, he already 
visited him to have first discussions. I think this will help us greatly.

Thanks also to Alexis. The way how to generated lttng events matches with how 
we're doing now; we will also examine his Xenomai events and give you a 
feedback.

Of course, we keep the forum informed about the progress, but as mentioned 
before, it risks to evolve quite slowly on our side since the "big" project is 
for the three last months.

Daniel
