Features: This book is written for experienced Java platform developers and serves as a highly practical guide, providing a solid foundation for real-time programming. As a member of the RTSJ expert group, Dibble begins with an overview of the unique real-time challenges of the Java platform and gradually explains how to use each of the main features of RTSJ. From broad real-time principles to detailed programming pitfalls, Real-Time Java Platform Programming covers all the knowledge needed to build effective real-time programs. This book is a reference for learning real-time Java platform programming. Although it is primarily aimed at the RTSJ platform, it is far more than just a RTSJ reference manual. The author introduces the support provided by the RTSJ platform for real-time programming from perspectives such as language closure, high-resolution time, asynchronous events, real-time threads, domain memory, immortal memory, and shepherd memory. While introducing each feature, the author also provides numerous code examples. The technologies and concepts discussed in this book are extensive and innovative. Since the author personally participated in the writing of the RTSJ specification and is a member of the RTSJ expert group, many of the insights and tips in the book are unique and worth learning. Additionally, the numerous code examples provided in the book have been tested and hold high practical value. This book is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer science programs at universities and colleges. It also holds significant reference value for managers engaged in software development and training, as well as developers working in embedded software development, real-time system research, and Java application development.
