Thomas,
Great talk! Thanks for the history. Couldn't agree with you more on the need to get better and easier access to Research papers/journals. Getting academia and industry to work more closely together is a noble cause (and important).
I know that the extensive use of Linux in RT academia is not a unique happenstance - much of networking research, among others, also uses Linux. So it would be good to have that joint forum/list for research and kernel people to have a wider focus, not just real-time. Were you thinking this would be only a real-time forum? Or something that other areas of research /

I would hazard a guess by saying that perhaps one of the problems is that they *don't* know what to research. They are required to come up with ideas so they do but based on what?
Perhaps an idea would be to create a list of things that *need* to be researched so when people are struggling to come up with research topics they can tackle a real problem instead of an imaginary problem.

Realtime Linux: academia v. reality Posted Jul 30, 2010 2:42 UTC (Fri) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458) [Link] Problem is that "real" problems are usually messy and very hard to solve (and you have to convince "real" people that you solved them too!), while "imaginary" problems you can set up so they are solvable. The old quip on the difference between theory and practice, in another guise ;-)

Once nice thing about academic research is that analyzing problems is just as useful as solving them.
