Higuera-Toledano M.T., Wellings A.J. (eds.) Distributed, Embedded and Real-time Java Systems

Springer, 2012, -389 p.The Java language has had an enormous impact since its introduction in the last decade of the twentieth century. Its success has been particularly strong in enterprise applications, where Java is one of the preeminent technology in use. A domain where Java is still trying to gain a foothold is that of real-time and embedded systems, be they multicore or distributed. Over the last 5 years, the supporting Java-related technologies, in this increasingly important area, have matured. Some have matured more than others. The overall goal of this book is to provide insights into some of these technologies.
This book is aimed 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. Masters students will also find useful material that founds background reading for higher degrees in embedded and real-time systems.
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.Supporting Multiprocessors in the Real-Time Specification for Java Version 1.1
