Policies and Patterns for High-Performance, Real-Time Object Request Brokers

This tutorial outlines recent advances in middleware for DRE systems, focusing on the policiesand patterns in Real-time CORBA.Real-time CORBA defines a standard set of interfaces andcapabilities to manage CPU, network, and memory resources predictably and efficiently end-to-end.This tutorial will illustrate via real world examples the key features and policies in the Real-time CORBA programming model.It will also describe the patterns that can be applied in ORB architectures to minimize priority inversion and non-determinism, associate client requests with servants in constant time, and implement standard and custom middleware transport protocols using small memory footprints.
