ABSTRACT

Two independent recent efforts have defined extensions to the Java platform that intend to satisfy real-time requirements. This paper summarizes the major features of these efforts, compares them to each other and to Ada 95's Real-Time Annex, and argues that their convergence with Ada95 may serve to complement rather than compete with Ada in the real-time domain.
