Real Time Java Project - Porting the AOCS Framework to Java

The Real-Time Java Project ports the AOCS framework from C++ to a real-time version of Java. This is the entry point for the documentation for the framework code generated with the JavaDoc facility. Understanding of this documentation requires familiarity with the general design concepts behind the AOCS Framework. A good introduction can be found in: A. Pasetti, Software Frameworks and Embedded Control System, LNCS Series Vol. 2231, Springer-Verlag 2001. Familiarity with the RT Java Framework project in general would also be useful. This can be found in the project web page.

The class and package documentation sometimes makes reference to documents that were originally produced for the C++ version of the framework. Readers should bear in mind that this documentation is not necessarily applicable in its entirety: during the porting of the framework from C++ to Java, some changes to the framework architecture were found to be necessary. These changes together with the general principles applied during the porting exercise are summarized here.
