The Distributed Real-Time Specification for Java (DRTSJ) is under development within Sun's Java Community Process (JCP) as Java Specification Request 50 (JSR-50), lead by The MITRE Corporation. We present the engineering considerations and design decisions settled by the Expert Group, the current and proposed form of the Reference Implementation, and a summary of open issues. In particular, we present an approach to integrating the distributable threads programming model with the Real-Time Specification for Java and discuss the ramifications for composing distributed, real-time systems in Java. The Expert Group plans to release an initial Early Draft Review (EDR) for previewing the distributable threads abstraction in the coming months, which we describe in detail. Along with that EDR, we will make available a demonstration application from Virginia Tech, and a DRTSJ-compatible RTSJ VM from Apogee.
