"The Open Group today announced the
launch of the Real-time and Embedded Systems Forum. The Forum will
leverage The Open Group's diverse membership to bring together
leading vendors with corporate and government customers. This will
advance standards development based on real product solutions. It
will establish test tools for suppliers to use to establish
confidence that their products conform, and an independent
certification program that delivers guaranteed conformance to the
buyer."
"The
Real-time and Embedded Systems Forum has been formed to complement
existing standards by packaging them into coherent sets, and
developing test suites and a certification program to assure
conformance" said Allen Brown, President and CEO of The Open
Group. "This will be the first conformance guarantee ever
offered to a real-time and embedded systems buyer."
"The
Forum will work with industry groups as an impartial standards
integrator to review existing specifications and requirements in
order to avoid duplication and redundancy of effort. Liaisons have
been established with IEEE Portable Applications Software Committee,
the Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc., The Object Management
Group, the Uniform Driver Interface Project, and the National
Committee for Information Technology Standards Technical Committee
for Real-time Standards (R1)."
