Aonix Seminar Series

We cordially invite you and your team for the Technical presentation and discussions on Applying Java to embedded and real-time software   

As software systems grow in complexity and size, modern software engineering practices have evolved to focus more on maintenance and reuse of existing software and less on development of new software capabilities.  Embedded systems development, including various defense and aerospace applications, exhibit the same trends, with typical embedded software application sizes doubling every 18 to 36 months.   These trends favor high-level object-oriented programming languages like Java.  Embedded software engineers that make the transition from C or C++ to Java typically find that they are approximately twice as productive during the development of new software capabilities, and five to ten times as productive during the maintenance and reuse of existing functionality. 

This talk outlines some of the reasons that Java is able to offer these productivity benefits and surveys a number of successful embedded mission-critical software projects that have been developed using the Java language.  The talk also describes special Java programming conventions that enable the use of Java in very low-level software, including interrupt-driven device drivers, hard real-time applications, and software that must be certified safe in accordance with DO-178B level A guidelines.

This seminar is brought to you jointly by RTTS and Aonix.
