Research on real-time Java technology has been prolific over the past decade,
leading to a large number of corresponding hardware and software solutions, and
frameworks for distributed and embedded real-time Java systems. This book is
aimed primarily at researchers in real-time embedded systems, particularly
those who wish to understand the current state of the art in using Java in this
domain. Much of the work in real-time distributed, embedded and real-time Java
has focused on the Real-time Specification for Java (RTSJ) as the underlying
base technology, and consequently many of the Chapters in this book address
issues with, or solve problems using, this framework.Describes innovative
techniques in: scheduling, memory management, quality of service and
communication systems supporting real-time Java applications;Includes coverage
of multiprocessor embedded systems and parallel programming;Discusses state-of-
the-art resource management for embedded systems, including Java´s real-time
garbage collection and parallel collectors;Considers hardware support for the
execution of Java programs including how programs can interact with functional
accelerators;Includes coverage of Safety Critical Java for development of
safety critical embedded systems.
