Objectives

1. Carrying out the research and development, standardizaton, and promotion of T-Engine architecture, proposed by Prof. Ken Sakamura ,the University of Tokyo, as the standard development platform for real-time embedded systems, and coordinating related organs.
2. Building a ubiquitous computing environment using T-Engine.
3. To conduct activities for the Ubiquitous ID Center.

Activities

The followings are main activities of the Forum, including a quarterly meeting with all forum members, and a working group meeting held at any time related to some specific topics.

1. To research and develop the T-Engine architecture and carry out survey studies for its standardization(*1)
   (*1) Research, development and drafting of T-Engine open specification are included.
2. To spread and promote T-Engine architecture
   
3. To collect, exchange, and provide information concerning the construction of a ubiquitous computing environment
4. To coordinate related organs concerned with the ubiquitous computing environment
   
5. To send information about T-Engine architecture using Web pages, etc.
   
6. To achieve a distribution platform for T-Engine middleware using E-commerce
   
7. And other operations necessary to achieve the objectives of the Forum

The Forum currently has the following working groups.

A level members only working groups

• Hardware WG

  The Hardware WG carries out activities concerning the hardware specifications of the T-Engine family, namely T-Engine (Standard T-Engine), μT-Engine (micro T-Engine), nT-Engine (nano T-Engine) and pT-Engine (pico T-Engine).
  

• Kernel and Development Environment WG

  The Kernel and Development Environment WG carries out activities concerning the software specification of T-monitor, which is the basic monitor running on the T-Engine family, and T-kernel, the basic kernel, as well as the development environment of application software and middleware that run on T-Kernel.
  

• Middleware WG

  The Middleware WG carries out activities concerning the middleware that runs on T-Kernel.
  

• Java WG

  The Java WG carries out activities concerning the Java language environment, picked from middlewares specially.
  

• Ubiquitous Communicator WG

  The Ubiquitous Communicator WG carries out activities concerning the human machine interface of devices such as PDAs, which run on the T-Engine/T-Kernel, and are equipped with communication features that can communicate with a ubiquitous environment.
  

• T-Linux WG

  The T-Linux WG carries out activities concerning T-Linux, which runs Real-Time Linux on T-Kernel for T-Engine platforms.
  

• Cellular Phone WG

  The Cellular phone WG carries out activities concerning the application of T-Engine architecture to cellular phones.
  

• Ubiquitous Technology WG

  The Ubiquitous Technology WG carries out activities concerning the infrastructure and device technology development for ubiquitous IDs.
  

e level members only working groups

• Ubiquitous ID Application WG

  The Ubiquitous ID Application WG carries out activities concerning the use of ubiquitous IDs and eTRON.
