Java for Embedded Software

Abstract

Embedded systems software is growing in complexity, and programming it all in C is becoming a burden for developers. Synthesis from high level models is still some time away, and even there some programming is needed. Therefore, during recent years we have been exploring Java as a viable substitute with its well-known excellent structuring properties and its widespread use in general programming. In this seminar we will describe the vision in an ongoing research project on Certifiable Java for Embedded Systems (http://cj4es.imm.dtu.dk/). In particular, the work on profiles for the application area, the work on predictable, efficient implementations, and the work on analysis tools will be discussed.
