Abstract

Presents the RTR (real-time reflective) model, which allows a flexible programming of real-time applications in open distributed systems. The RTR model approach is based on object-orientation and reflective computation. Using this approach, real-time constraints can be easily expressed and implemented. Interoperability among distributed heterogeneous components is provided by adapting the RTR model to the CORBA architecture. Also, this paper introduces the Java/RTR language, an extension of Java (Sun Microsystems Inc.) that incorporates concepts of the RTR model. Finally, the main features of the proposed model are compared with other well-known approaches for real-time programming
