Promotional Information

Real-time programming is a critical component in the development of many consumer and industrial devices. The long-awaited Real-Time Java specification has arrived, delivering the powerful benefits of Java to the embedded software development community. The Real-Time Specification for Java™, introduces the new specification in detail -- giving developers all the information and insight they need to start building powerful, Java-based software. The book is the definitive reference to the semantics, extensions, and modifications to the Java programming language that enable the Java platform to meet the requirements and constraints of real-time development. For all Java programmers, embedded systems programmers, and system architects.
