As a `first' in the history of IRTAW, the workshop devoted a full session to the analysis of the real-time extensions currently proposed for a mainstream language in direct competition with Ada, that is Java. The objective of the session was to offer the group the opportunity to reflect on the status and rationale of the latest definition of the real-time extensions promulgated by the J Consortium. A subsequent IRTAW session addressed the analysis of the real-time extensions defined by the Real-Time Expert Group led by Sun Microsystems.
