Java for Real-Time Software

Summary

The Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) is an extension of Java that allows creating applications that must comply with strict response times. The RTSJ is takes advantage of standard Java technology without sacrificing determinism and performance, through a combination of a domain-specific API as well as appropriate extensions of the Java Virtual Machine, to ensure real-time garbage collection and response times in the millisecond range. RTSJ is currently supported by enterprise Java runtimes and development frameworks, such as IBM WebSphere and Oracle JavaRTS. Nevertheless, programming with RTSJ requires certain expertise in order to take maximum profit. The goal of this course is to introduce the main concepts bring in by RTSJ, with the aim of facilitating its correct and productive use.
