1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "Real–time teaching with java: jpr" ?
This paper describes a development platform built around a digital railroad scale–model: JPR ( Java Platform for Realtime Railway Research ).. The laboratory equipment and software aims to achieve two goals: help and motivate students of real–time systems and as support for postgraduate students.. Java has been chosen as the programming language codify the platform and the implementation of the system is described in this work.

2. What have the authors stated for future works in "Real–time teaching with java: jpr" ?
The authors ’ ve already started up a number of activities to extend its functionalities.. Emphasiseese, the authors wish to emphasize the following ones: design of a simulator of the mock–up ( so students could test their control strategies without using the real mock–up ), use of video cameras to carry out visual supervision and control of the locomotives ( cameras can also be placed inside the locomotives ) and, finally, make it a real distributed application by using a communication middleware, such as CORBA and/or RMI.. Although the authors have chosen a particular implementation of the Virtual Machine, they also plan to test JPR3 with other implementations of the JVM and real–time operating systems.
