.

Real-time and embedded systems have to respond to externally generated input stimuli within a finite and predictable time. Their correctness depends not only on the logical results of the computations, but also on the time at which those results are produced. .

Just over 10 years since its first conception, Java augmented by the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ), is one of the most exciting developments in real-time systems. The approach has been to extend the concurrency model to sup-port real-time programming abstractions, and to provide a complementary approach to memory management that removes the temporal uncertainties of garbage collection. .

The book starts with an introduction to concurrent and real-time programming. It then describes the concurrency model of Java, summarizing both its strengths and weaknesses. Examples abound, and a case study of concurrent searching is presented. The book then provides a detailed introduction to and examination of the RTSJ. .

Topics include:

the new memory management model, .

the augmented clock and time facilities, .

scheduling, .

asynchronous event handlers, .

real-time threads, .

asynchronous transfer of control, .

resource control, .

access to physical and access to raw memory. .

A standard real-time case study - that of an automobile cruise control system - is given which demonstrates the efficacy of many of the new facil-ities. Before concluding, the book considers the use of Java and the RTSJ for high-integrity systems programming. .
