It should be noted that this paper is intended to be the first of several papers on the subject and that future publications will include the entire genre of COTS usage. ( personal page, 4 stars ) - Added 1/20/2004 Practical Embedded Java Java can (and should) now be applied to many systems in which traditional X86, 68000, 8051, 6811, and other well-known controllers are being used (and mis-used). But no one has written about how to do this, especially from the perspective of a working embedded systems engineer. This site is the Author's home page, on his new book 'Practical Embedded Java' - and it contains the full book text! ( archive, 4 stars ) - Added 1/29/2004 Recommended Publications on System and Software Safety Safeware: System Safety and Computers by Nancy Leveson. Published by Addison Wesley (1995).
