Abstract
The Real-Time Specification for Java provides a memory model, based on memory areas, which introduces some constraints on objects allocation and references. For this reason, many well-known design patterns cannot be used in a RTSJ environment since their structure violates such constraints. In this context, this paper proposes some new RTSJ design patterns and idioms, as well as a re-interpretation of existing patterns into a RTSJ perspective. Five patterns are presented. Three of them are an adaptation to RTSJ world of well-known design patterns—the singleton, the abstract factory and the leader-follower. The other two are new patterns—the eager exception handler and the memory tunnel—which allow to solve some peculiar problems deriving from the constraints of RTSJ memory model.
