Middleware of Real-Time Object Based Fault-Tolerant Distributed Computing Systems: Issues and Some Approaches
نویسنده
چکیده
At this turn of the century the objectoriented (OO) distributed real-time (RT) programming movement is growing rapidly along with the networked embedded systems market. The motivations are reviewed and then a brief overview is given of the particular programming scheme which this author and his collaborators have been establishing. The scheme is called the time-triggered message triggered object (TMO) programming scheme and it is used to make specific illustrations of the issues and potentials of OO RT programming. Fault tolerance capabilities are required in many distributed RT computing applications. At this time the development of middleware which is capable of supporting reliable fault-tolerant execution of applicationlevel RT distributed objects is an important challenge to the research community. Some major issues that need to be resolved and some promising approaches are discussed.

Fault tolerance is a crucial design consideration for missioncritical distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems, such as avionics mission computing systems, and supervisory control and data acquisition systems. Increasingly more of these systems are created using emerging middleware standards, such as publish-subscribe communication services and component based architectures. Most previo...
متن کاملTowards Middleware for Fault-Tolerance in Distributed Real-Time and Embedded Systems
Distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems often require support for multiple simultaneous quality of service (QoS) properties, such as real-timeliness and fault tolerance, that operate within resource constrained environments. These resource constraints motivate the need for a lightweight middleware infrastructure, while the need for simultaneous QoS properties require the middleware to ...
