Configuring Real-Time Aspects in Component Middleware

چکیده
This paper makes two contributions to the study of configuring real-time aspects into quality of service (QoS)-enabled component middleware and distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. First, it compares and contrasts the process of integrating real-time aspects into DRE systems using conventional QoS-enabled distributed object computing (DOC) middleware versus QoS-enabled component middleware. Second, it presents empirical comparisons of several real-time aspects configured in The ACE ORB (TAO) (a widely used open-source ORB that implements the CORBA 2.x DOC middleware standard) vs. in the Component-Integrated ACE ORB (CIAO) (which extends TAO to support real-time aspects in the CORBA Component Model). Our results show that QoS-enabled component middleware implementations can offer real-time performance that is comparable to DOC middleware, while offering greater flexibility in composing and configuring key DRE system aspects.

The Design and Performance of Dynamic and Static Configuration Mechanisms in Component Middleware for Distributed Real-Time and Embedded Systems
QoS-aware component middleware solutions have been shown to be effective in reducing the programming complexity of configuring real-time aspects, with only a small reduction in the run-time performance of those configured aspects. However, many DRE systems (1) must run on real-time platforms that lack key dynamic configuration features, (2) require stringent bounds on system initialization time...
متن کاملPeer-to-Peer and fault-tolerance: Towards deployment-based technical services
For effective components, non-functional aspects must be added to the application functional code. Likewise enterprise middleware and component platforms, in the context of Grids, services must be deployed at execution in the component containers in order to implement those aspects. This paper proposes an architecture for defining, configuring, and deploying such Technical Services in a Grid pl...
متن کاملModel-driven Configuration and Deployment of Component Middleware Publisher/Subscriber Services
Though component-based software development is widely accepted in the enterprise business and desktop application domains, developers of distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems have encountered limitations with conventional component middleware platforms, such as the CORBA Component Model (CCM) and the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE). These limitations often preclude developers of DRE...
متن کاملA Self-configuring Middleware for Developing Context Aware Applications
This paper introduces a self-configuring middleware that manages the context information acquisition and representation processes targeting the development of context aware applications. The context information is represented in a programmatic manner, readable for the applications build on top of the middleware, using the RAP context model. An agent based context model management infrastructure...
متن کاملTowards a Reflective Middleware Framework for QoS-enabled CORBA Component Model Applications
Although existing CORBA specifications, such as Real-time CORBA and CORBA Messaging, address many end-to-end quality-of-service (QoS) aspects, they do not define strategies for configuring these QoS aspects into applications. Therefore, application developers must make these configuration decisions manually and explicitly, which is tedious, error-prone, and often sub-optimal. Although the recen...
