Abstract :
In distributed real-time computing systems for complicated applications like command, control, communications and intelligence, time constraints are severe and adaptability is required to provide high availability and survivability of computing resources. An object-oriented approach to software design for distributed real-time systems is presented. In order to support adaptability of the software system to a dynamically changing environment, the approach supports multiple-versions of a method definition. The design approach is illustrated with a hypothetical airbase defense simulation system
