Assessment of the Java Programming Language for Use in High Integrity SystemsPage 11Assessment of the Java Programming Language forUse in High Integrity SystemsJagun Kwon Andy Wellings and Steve KingDepartment of Computer ScienceUniversity of York UK{jagun andy king}@cs.york.ac.ukABSTRACTThis paper sets a goal of investigating the use of Java in the development ofhigh integrity systems. Important requirements of programming languages for thedevelopment of high integrity software are first surveyed. Based on these we developseveral criteria that are used for the following assessment of Java. A summary of theassessment is provided before we go on to review a few existing subsets of thelanguage.1. IntroductionHigh integrity systems are generally complex and crucial systems that come into theirexistence as we realise new problem domains and build some form of system in anattempt to protect or benefit related objects and human beings. Examples includespace shuttles nuclear power plants and medical instruments and they typically havehigh development and maintenance costs due to the customised nature of theircomponents. There exist many general and sectorspecific standards produced toassist in building such important systems.Within high integrity systems there has been a growing trend to use software becauseit provides Leveson1986 Leveson1991 Parnas+1990 Bowen+1998] improved functionality increased flexibility in design and implementation reduced production cost enhanced management of complexity in application areas.Page 22Over the recent years Java has proved to be an appropriate vehicle for a diverse rangeof applications including web based intranets and embedded systems. Its relativelysimple linguistic semantics the adoption of wellunderstood approaches to managingsoftware complexity and support for concurrency seem to have contributed towardsits popularity. Initially designed with embedded systems in mind Javas main goalwas to provide engineers with a reliable and cost ...
