Integration of QoS Facilities into Component Container Architectures

Component-based infrastructures provide support for the development and execution of component-based systems. However they have limitations in their application in real-time and reliable systems, because they do not integrate facilities to support these types of problems and include limitations of predictability and dependability. These infrastructures are designed to provide support to financial and e-commerce applications; they integrate as basic services the transaction, persistence, security and events. These are useful services in real-time and telecom applications, but these applications require other types of services to provide predictability and reliability. We introduce some practical solutions to integrate QoS (Quality of Service) services in the component infrastructures and the results that their business components can expect.
