Twenty-three papers from the May 2003 symposium present the latest results on real-time and embedded research in the areas of model-based software development, end-to-end quality of service, real- time operating systems and middleware, and applications of power aware and real-time scheduling. Specific topics include evaluating real- time Java for mission critical large scale embedded systems, kernel support for open QoS-aware computing, practical voltage scaling for fixed priority real-time systems, synchronous modeling of avionics using the Signal language, and collaborative operating system and compiler power management.
