Check an article titled "Java driving a revolution in Embedded Systems" by John Waters, in Strategic Platforms spring 99 magazine. The whole edition is on Embedded Systems, and it is all about Java. Ada is not even mentioned. Some quotes "You can put out a higher quality product in less time. Our clients are moving to Java technology in a major way". Larry Podmolik, Chief technical officer, strategic Technology Resources. "Licensing the EmbeddedJava and PersonalJava environment is an important step forward building TI's offering on the software side of that question". Gilies Delfassy, Geneal Manager, TI wireless communications. "The embedded systems market is big business and getting bigger. EmbeddedJava technology is enabling advanced that were barely imagined a few years ago". N. Iravani Group manager, Market development, Sun. On Java technology in industrial automation "As Sun continues to move with java-based technologies in industrial automation, leading automation system vendors will be able to achieve sensor to boardroom capabilities. And they'll do it using a completely networked, Object based architecture that takes advantage of emvedded java technology". Kevyn Renner, group manager, worldwide industrial automation development, Sun. "Geoworks is helping to broaden the 'run anywhere' part of the java WORA mission", David Grannan, President and CEO, Geoworks corp. "Developers turn to personalJava and EmbeddedJava to complement real-time operating systems in devices". Tony Reveaux. So, is java kicking Ada out of embedded systems also? Where is Ada reponse to Java taking over the embedded market? West.
