**Department news**: \\ **Presentation (discussion)** \\ This Friday Bent and Kasper will give a talk about (interesting Java world)? **Title**\\ Towards Compositional Schedulability and WCET Analysis for Safety Critical Java and Model Based Schedulability Analysis of Java Bytecode Programs Executed on Commodity Hardware **Presenter**\\ Bent Thomsen and Kasper Søe Luckow **Abstract**\\ C is the dominant programming language for embedded systems, but there is a crisis as the number of C programmers is declining. Java is the most popular language on earth with more than 9 million programmers. What would it take to make Java suitable for safety critical hard-real-time embedded systems? This talk will give an overview of the work at Aalborg University in this area. Schedulability analysis is used for determining whether there exists a schedule, such that the real-time tasks comprising the system, can uphold their respective deadlines. Hence, this analysis is an imperative in verifying that the (hard) real-time system is temporally correct. In this session, I will present our latest research in model-based schedulability analysis of Java bytecode **Keywords**\\ **Attendance:**\\
