Real-Time Systems and Programming Languages : Ada 95, Real-Time Java and Real-Time POSIX (3rd ed)

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the requirements for designing and implementing real-time embedded systems and discusses how these requirements are met by current languages and operating systems.

The comparative advantages of Ada 95, Real-Time Java and Real-Time POSIX are discussed in full.

No other book on real-time programming languages (or concurrent programming languages) covers this range of topics.

The latest trends in real-time systems are discussed.

The emergence of Java as a real-time language through the Real-Time Java extensions has resulted in the treatment of Java as one of the core languages covered in the book.

The additional real-time facilities in POSIX are explored as well as the proposed extensions to CORBA to address real-time issues.
