Abstract The Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ)[13] is becoming a popular choice in
the world of real-time and embedded programming. However, RTSJ introduces many non …

Over the last decade we witness a steady grow of complexities in real-time systems. Today,
developers have to face real-time constraints in almost every software system, from …

The Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) is becoming a popular choice in the world of
real-time programming. However, the complexities introduced by RTSJ bring the needs for …

Component frameworks simplify development of enterprise systems and enable code reuse,
but most frameworks are unpredictable and hence unsuitable for embedded or real-time …

Over 90 percent of all microprocessors are now used for real-time and embedded
applications. Since the behavior of these applications is often constrained by the physical …

During the past few years, Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE) has emerged
as an excellent candidate to achieve greater software understanding, reuse and reliability …

Many of the benefits of Java, such as safe object references, notion of concurrency as a first-
class language construct and its portability have the potential to make embedded systems …

While managed languages such as C# and Java have become quite popular in enterprise
computing, they are still considered unsuitable for hard real-time systems. In particular, the …

The object-oriented paradigm has become popular over the last years due to its
characteristics that help managing the complexity in computer systems design. This feature …

Due to the preeminent work of the real-time specification for Java (RTSJ), Java is
increasingly expected to become the leading programming language in real-time systems …
