Object Management Group (OMG) and J Consortium established a liaison Jan. 25 to encourage rapid development of specifications for real-time and embedded markets. They will also aid development of standards for real-time and embedded systems, such as sensors for the medical, avionics, automotive, and other industries, and promote moves toward computer-controlled “appliances” ranging from smart refrigerators to automotive and aircraft engines. Initial collaboration will be between J Consortium and the OMG Real-Time Special Interest Group’s (SIG) Telecommunications Domain Task Force (DTF) and Manufacturing DTF. OMG and J Consortium are also approved International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) submitters. Consequently, their alliance will help bring real-time and embedded specifications to ISO that have the broadest possible industry base.
