The DEAR-COTS Replication Framework

چکیده
The DEAR-COTS (Distributed Embedded ARchitecture using Commercial Off-The-Shelf components) architecture provides a COTS-based framework to execute reliable hard real-time applications. To ease the task of building reliable realtime applications on top of COTS components, a simple and transparent programming model is provided, in order that programmers abstract from the low-level implementation details of distribution and replication issues. These issues are only dealt with in a later configuration phase, where the system is configured and distributed over the DEAR-COTS nodes. This paper presents the proposed programming framework, and demonstrates how it can be used to support the transparent replication of software components.

A Framework to COTS Component Selection and Evaluation Processes
The process of knowledge acquisition of COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) components may provide many difficulties. The existence of a huge amount of diffused information is one of the existing inconveniences related to the selection process. Furthermore, the problem of a choice of a proper methodology supporting COTS component selection and evaluation processes is characterized by a high level o...
متن کاملA Framework for COTS Integration and Extension
We present a framework for integrating and extending COTS components. We find that supplementing COTS integration with extension promises increased code reuse and reduced maintenance costs. Our case study shows that one can effectively integrate COTS components into practical solutions if they can be extended from their original design. The framework keeps a clear separation between the applica...
