Anton,

sorry, I missed the
September 11th Deadline for abstracts (business/industrial stream)
If it's still possible, I'd like to submit the following paper:

Title:
"Want", a Flash Token-Threaded Virtual-Machine and Operating-System for DSPs

Author: Christophe Lavarenne (cl@..., UBIC S.A. - http://www.ubic.fr)

Abstract:

More and more low-cost applications (telecommunications, automotive, metering,
alarm systems...) embed, beside a microcontroler, a Digital-Signal-Processor
(DSP) to cope with data rates and processing under hard real-time constraints.
For such applications, the UBIC company has developed "WantOS", a multitasking
realtime operating system with interrupt-driven peripheral drivers, integrated
into "WantVM", a compact and efficient token-threaded virtual-machine running,
directly out of flash, several megabytecodes per second, programmable in either
"WantC" with a full-featured graphical user interface, or more interactively
in "WantForth". This paper presents this software architecture and the savings
it has allowed, compared to usual designs, in the hardware architecture and in
the design and life cycles of tens of thousands of remote alarm systems, and
of new realtime video-processing projects.


Best regards,
CL
