Building distributed deal-time embedded systems requires a stringent methodology, from
early requirement capture to full implementation. However, there is a strong link between the …

This survey covers distribution standards oriented to the development of distributed real-time
systems. Currently, there are many distribution standards that provide a wide and different …

This paper presents the design and implementation of RT-EP (Real-Time Ethernet Protocol),
which is a software-based token-passing Ethernet protocol for multipoint communications in …

Middleware is an integral part of critical software, providing core services for data exchange
and manipulation, job execution, and scheduling. Their correctness is central to the correct …

Abstract Building Distributed Real-Time Embedded systems requires a stringent
methodology, from early requirements capture to full implementation. However, there is a …

Distribution middleware is often integrated as a COTS, providing distribution facilities for
critical, embedded or large-scale applications. So far, typical middleware does not come …

In the personal or corporate spheres, the home/office of tomorrow is soon to be the
home/office of today, with a plethora of networked devices embedded in appliances, such as …

In this paper we apply a model-driven engineering approach to designing domain-specific
solutions for robot control system development. We present a case study of the complete …

Building middleware for distributed applications is a complex task, mixing antagonistic
concerns: heterogeneity, performance, reliability, quality of services. Optimization and fine …

Abstract Distributed Real-Time (DRE) systems require the verification of their properties to
ensure both reliability and conformance to initial requirements. Architecture description …
