In particular, professionals from the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), control theory, process control and real-time scheduling were invited. To facilitate communication among these fields, the workshop organizers decided to focus on software design principles for real-time systems, and so sought out those who had built working systems and could express their experiences in terms of techniques they had tested and/or refuted.
