“QoS/Real-time Aggregated Systems Challenge”

Thursday, February 4, 2003, 0900-1030 Hours
Joint Session QoS/Real-time

Open to Members Only

Thursday – (9:00 – 10:30) Joint Session -- Real-Time and QoS to Gather Requirements for the "QoS/Real-Time Aggregated Systems Challenge"

This session is Joint with the QoS Task Force

Today’s businesses are forming complex multi-partner commercial arrangements which involve some level of integration of their computing systems; at the same time governments are building “systems of systems” to integrate legacy applications with new capabilities. We see an increasing trend towards the aggregation of disparate systems, and their applications. The result is the complex integration of independently developed computing systems to create new capabilities; we call this Aggregation of Systems.

One effect of aggregation is that network traffic becomes unpredictable as application data patterns interfere with one another; applications that ran successfully on a LAN experience failures in an aggregated system. A second effect is that Quality of Service parameters are lost when a request transits from one infrastructure to another. In many cases it is impossible to determine if the system will be able to meet end-to-end QoS needs. This is especially serious for applications that have end-to-end timeliness requirements.

In other words, we do not know how to build these systems so that we know they will work! That is the reason for the Aggregate Systems Challenge and this Requirements Gathering Session for that Challenge.

RT Java for Mission and Safety Critical Applications

Thursday February 6, 2003, 1030-1900 Hours

This session is looking to formalize a RT Java Expert Group for Mission and Safety Critical applications to develop a specification for this version of RT Java. This effort is being championed by Boeing et al. The expectation is that the work will be open source and royalty-free.

There will be a discussion and presentation on the required resources to accomplish this effort.

1330-1415	FAA & Java - John Chilenski (Boeing)
1415-1500	Distributed Java Update - Doug Jensen (Mitre)
1500-1545	Open Toolkit for RT Java & Networking - Doug Wells (The Open Group)
1545-1600	Break
1600-1900	Proposed JSR Terms & Conditions, JSR for Mission/Mission Critical, Develop schedule - Robert Allen et al.
