Java and its thread concept have only limited provisions for implementing deterministic concurrency. Thus, as has been observed in the past, it is challenging to develop concurrent Java programs without any deadlocks or race conditions. To alleviate this situation, the Synchronous Java (SJ) approach presented here adopts the key concepts that have been established in the world of synchronous programming for handling reactive control-flow. Thus SJ not only provides deterministic concurrency, but also different variants of deterministic preemption. Furthermore SJ allows concurrent threads to communicate with Esterel-style signals. As a case study for an embedded system usage, we also report on how the SJ concepts have been ported to the ARM-based Lego Mindstorms NXT system.","PeriodicalId":330873,"journal":{"name":"16th IEEE International Symposium on Object/component/service-oriented Real-time distributed Computing (ISORC 2013)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129267717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Giese","doi":"10.1109/ISORC.2013.6913198","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ISORC.2013.6913198","url":null,"abstract":"The proper composition of independently developed components of an embedded real-time system is complicated due to the fact that besides the functional behavior also the non-functional properties and in particular the timing have to be compatible. A number of formal approaches have been developed, which try to guide the upfront decomposition of the embedded real-time system into components such that integration problems related to timing can be excluded. However, the proposed solutions come with severe limitations or require an analysis that does not scale such that these approaches are hardly applicable in practice. In this paper, we present an approach that ensures real-time compatibility by modeling the component behavior with timed automata and by only locally checking that the component is compatible concerning timing. The effort to establish the required guarantees for the integration scales as only local checks are employed. An AUTOSAR application example from the automotive domain is employed to demonstrate the applicability and scalability of the approach.","PeriodicalId":330873,"journal":{"name":"16th IEEE International Symposium on Object/component/service-oriented Real-time distributed Computing (ISORC 2013)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133240439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
