Integrating low-level software capabilities within Java applications
Since its release to the public in 1995, the Java programming language has quickly risen to a position of dominance within the software development community.
Among the reasons for its rapid acceptance are twofold improvements in software developer productivity, up to tenfold improvements in the ease of software reuse, greater availability of off-the-shelf reusable software functionality, and superior dynamic behavior.
This combination of tech...

White Paper: Building Secure Software with Java
This white paper discusses the applicability and desirability of Java as a programming language for use in secure systems.
Java is much more secure than C and C++ because the byte-code verifier prohibits unsafe type coercions and address arithmetic, garbage collection prevents dangling pointers, run-time checks prohibit null pointer dereferencing and out-of-bound array subscripts, and the security manager restricts application behavior accordi...

When less is more: Programming language technology for safety
Safety is a requirement in systems where failure could cause loss of human life or other catastrophic consequences.
Developing safety-critical software is difficult, and the programming language choice is vital.
However, languages that seem to be candidates – such as C, C++, Ada, and Java – are too complex to be used as-is. But language subsets are proving a viable remedy.
Thus, it is important to understand these different languag...

Embedded Java @ Wikipedia
In discussions of J2ME Java specifications, such as the CDC/CLDC device capability sets and the MIDP profile definition, attention needs to be given to Embedded Java, which additionally requires very specialized, optimized JVMs, and the means to update the installed software and services such as OSGi.
A recent development in the field is the Squawk Virtual Machine, a JVM currently under development by Sun Microsystems and deployed as part...

Real Time Java @ Wikipedia
Real time Java is a catch-all term for a combination of technologies that allows programmers to write programs that meet the demands of Real time systems in the Java programming language.
Java's sophisticated memory management, native support for threading and concurrency, type safety, and relative simplicity have created a demand for its use in many domains.
Unfortunately, several properties prevent it from being directly suitable for...
