Abstract :
The paper presents a quantitative evaluation of the temporal behavior of object oriented programs implemented using different programming environments. The main focus of the evaluation is the real time properties and the overhead caused by each layer of the underlying communication architecture, in order to verify the suitability of those environments for developing distributed real time object oriented systems. In the current state of the work, Java/RMI running over Windows 95 and AO/C++ running over QNX OS are compared. An extension of the comparison to include DCOM/Windows95, DCOM/Windows NT and ObjecTime/Windows NT is under development
