This practical guide provides a solid grounding in the use of the Real-Time Specification for Java. Dibble, the Specification Lead for the RTSJ, starts with an overview of real-time issues. He then explains how to use each major feature of the RTSJ with numerous working examples and code patterns. From broad real-time principles to the details of important programming pitfalls, Real-Time Java Platform Programming covers everything you need to know to build effective RT programs. Topics include: interoperability with non-RT code, trade-offs in real-time development, garbage collection, non-heap access, scoped and immortal memory, use of the raw memory access classes to operate hardware devices, priority scheduling, deadline scheduling, rate monotonic analysis, periodic threads, deadline miss handlers, asynchronous events, timers, asynchronous transfer of control and recommended programming practices.

PETER C. DIBBLE, a Distinguished Engineer at TimeSys Corporation, is the Spec Lead for the RTSJ, and maintains the RTSJ reference implementation and test suite. His first experience with Java was helping the Microware Systems Corporation team that first ported the Sun Java platform to an embedded platform. He has about two decade’s experience with real-time system software, and is the author of several books.
