OUTLINE
The company's Embedded Virtual Machine and development environment for
embedded systems is based on the their state-of-the-art virtual machine
technology and is geared toward providing current embedded systems
developers with a universal Java-based environment. The new environment
will offer a migration path that is compatible with legacy systems and
allows developers to move seamlessly back and forth between 
their old and new environments. It will also offer an instrument rich
virtual machine for Java and a host of tools, such as remote debugging
and optimization modules, that are compatible with Real Time Operating
System (RTOS) environments. One of the challenges facing embedded
systems developers is optimizing system performance and memory to
provide robust, reliable and predictable operation for embedded devices. 
This was the first company to produce a PC emulator for early Macintosh
computers that ran reliably and predictably despite minimal memory and
processing resources available in platforms of that time. Since then,
they have consistently broken new technological ground and is now poised
to introduce a high performance, low-memory-footprint Embedded Virtual
Machine that will help deliver the "write once, run anywhere" promise of
Java to the embedded systems market. 
Embedded systems are specialized miniature computers that generally run
"real-time" operating systems where the machine has to respond to inputs
immediately, without taking time to load up a program, input data,
process data, and provide output. Embedded systems in use today include
the computers in your car, factory robots, digital watches, and cellular
telephones. New uses for embedded machines are being found every day
such as smart batteries, smart microwaves and smart cameras.
