Container model based on RTSJ services

Abstract

The container is a basic structure of J2EE used to reduce the complexity of clients and applicative services. Component-based infrastructures use this type of structures and provide support for the development and execution of component-based systems. However, they have limitations in their application in real-time and reliable systems, because they neither integrate facilities to support these types of problems nor include services of predictability and dependability. RTSJ is a basic framework that includes the basic services for the construction of Java real-time systems. The combination of both Java approaches (Containers and RTSJ) is a good solution to reduce the complexity of real-time Java programs. The integration requires the adaptation of both approaches. In this paper we introduce a new model of component container that integrate the RTSJ services based on a resource reservation model. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
