Patrik Persson is a consultant and an instructor, working for Enea
Realtime in Malmö, Sweden. He works with embedded real-time systems,
focusing on real-time operating systems, object technology, and
programming languages. His interest in real-time Java represents a blend
of these areas, and possibly also his craving for a timely cup of coffee
in the morning.
Before joining Enea, he worked at Lund University with research in
execution time prediction for object-oriented languages. He holds a
licentiate degree in computer science and a master's degree in computer
science and engineering.

Embedded Java - beyond games in your phone
Monday 15:30 - 16:15 (Java Room)
- Slides
Embedded Java - beyond games in your phone Monday 15.30 - 16.15, Java Room ABSTRACT The effort to adapt Java to embedded applications started a few years
ago, and has come a long way. Java phones and Java-enabled PDAs are
becoming increasingly common, and Java support has itself become a sales
argument. From a consumer point of view, embedded Java is a reality. From a software engineering point of view, however, great challenges lie
ahead. Java is not widely used for embedded systems programming beyond
downloadable user applications. Rather, we are still spending far too
much time chasing stray pointers and memory leaks in C code. The talk will present the possibilities of the Java technology we have
today, including small virtual machines, real-time operating system
integration, AOT (ahead-of-time) compilation, and native compilation. It
will show how the Java state-of-the-art can be put to practice and make
embedded systems programming simple, safe, and productive!
