• The emergence of Java as a real-time language through the Real-Time  Java extensions. This has resulted in the treatment of Java as one of the core languages covered in the book.
• The addition of new real-time facilities into the POSIX standard; in particular Execution Time Monitoring and Sporadic Servers. Chapters 12 and 13 have been updated to reflect these changes to  the Standard.
