Product DescriptionThis 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.

Rating: - A clear and honest guide on RTJS
At the time of this writing (July 2008), this is the most up to date text on the subject. The first part of the book is a gentle introduction to the topic of real-time programming and why standard java is not suitable for real-time programming. The first part also covers other things like priority scheduling, rate monotonic analysis, etc... The second part of the book instead teaches you how to use RTSJ. In general the book is well written, it is clear, and the author seems to "remain honest" and ... Read More
