The 3rd Real-Time Linux Workshop was recently held at the Crowne Plaza Linate hotel in Milan, Italy. This was the first such event organized
under the direction of the Real-Time Linux Foundation and Active Exhibitions Europe. Although the aftermath of the tragedy of September 11 diminished the involvement of our American colleagues, the workshop was a melting pot of software and hardware engineers and brought together developers, users, advocates and a trade show all under the one roof.
The Real Time Linux Foundation and the Thinking Nerds organized three of four conference tracks with high quality presentations. Highlights of the 2 day conference include kick start sessions conducted by Real-Time Linux Foundation staff to introduce newcomers to the brave new world of
real-time Linux and 3 excellent keynote addresses. The "humanoid robot" keynote by Satoshi Kagami of the National Institute of Advanced Science and Technology in Japan, in particular, enthralled delegates at the end
of a long first day. At the end of the second day, Fred Proctor of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the United States,
managed to hold everyone's attention with a first-class talk on measuring performance in real-time Linux.
Parallel track sessions enabled delegates to pick and choose their topics and there was much time for discussion both after the talks and at the lunch/tea/coffee breaks. So, after Vienna, Orlando and Milan, the real-time Linux workshops continue next year in Boston, Massachusetts.
The dates and call for papers will be announced in due course.
