title = "Composite objects: Real-time programming with CORBA",
abstract = "The Common Object Request Broker Architecture is a successful, standardized system integration framework based on distributed object technologies. An ongoing effort concerns extensions to CORBA to incorporate realtime computing needs. Although the use of objects in real-time computing is straightforward, the technical challenge lies in the replacement of static real-time computing infrastructures with a jexible real-time computing infrastructure, in which distributed real-time client and :sewer objects can be created and connected as needed during runtime. We propose the concept of {"}Composite Objects{"} for the integration of real-time and non-real-time computing into a single object-based framework. Within the papel; we present a methodology for creating objects which interface to CORBA without violating real-time assumptions. We present a example scenario which integrates a real-time computing architecture and CORBA components via {"}Composite Objects {"}. Finally, we discuss implementation-related issues based on our experiences with {"}Composite Objects{"}.",

note = "ANSA (Advanced Networked Systems Architecture) [SI is an open, collaborative research program managed by the British company APM Limited. The initial programming interface supported by ANSA follows “Open Distributed Processing” (ODP) standards. However, the current project “Jet” was started to provide a CORBA API for ANSA. The project{\textquoteright}s objective is to extend CORBA with real-time multi-media functionality, such as streams, signals, explicit binding and QoS. The original “Unstoppable Robots” simulation was written by Matthias Werner. We want to thank our student Jan Richling for his implementation work in context of the extended simulation and the driver for the khepera robot.
