Sun Microsystems. Java Real-Time System (Java RTS) is proving itself in numerous, wide-ranging environments, including finance, control systems, manufacturing, and defense. Java RTS and the RTSJ standard (JSR-001) eliminate the need for complicated, specialized, real-time languages and operating environments, saving money by leveraging Java's exceptional productivity and familiarity.

In Real-Time Java Programming, two of Sun's top real-time programming experts present the deep knowledge and realistic code examples that developers need to succeed with Java RTS and its APIs. As they do so, the authors also illuminate the foundations of real-time programming in any RTSJ-compatible environment.

Key topics includeReal-time principles and concepts, and the unique requirements of real-time application design and developmentHow Java has been adapted to real-time environmentsA complete chapter on garbage collection concepts and Java SE collectorsUsing the Java RTS APIs to solve actual real-time system problems as efficiently as possibleUtilizing today's leading Java RTS development and debugging toolsUnderstanding real-time garbage collection, threads, scheduling, and dispatchingProgramming new RTSJ memory modelsDealing with asynchronous event handling and asynchronous transfer of control «
