Poznan, Poland was selected as the site of the third annual workshop on this topic to coincide with the Software Engineering Education Symposium (SEES'98), and also to establish an international presence in Central Europe "although we are not an event on the scale of olympic games." Twenty-six participants (pictured) present papers related to: real-time systems programs and curricula, teaching RT systems design and verification, components of RT labs, RT systems in control engineering education and in other disciplines. Also includes invited talks on RT devices at practical prices and the essentials of RT education. For the uninitiated, IEEE stands for the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
