This paper provides four contributions to the study of optimization techniques for component-
based distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. First, we describe key …

Component middleware is popular for enterprise distributed systems because it provides
effective reuse of the core intellectual property (ie, the" business logic"). Component-based …

QoS-enabled component middleware solutions can help reduce the programming
complexity of configuring real-time aspects, such as priorities and rates of invocation …

A fundamental tension exists in systems research and practice between (1) hiding
extraneous details to simplify the system programming model, and (2) revealing crucial …

Standards-based quality of service (QoS)-enabled component middleware is increasingly
being used as a platform for developing distributed real-time embedded (DRE) systems that …

The quality of service (QoS) of enterprise distributed real-time and embedded (DRE)
systems can degrade under certain operating conditions and system architectures. This …

Component-based middleware, such as the Lightweight CORBA Component Model, are
increasingly used to implement large-scale distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) …

This paper provides three contributions to the study of quality of service (QoS) configuration
in component-based DRE systems. First, we describe the challenges associated with …

Quite often the modeling tools used in the development lifecycle of distributed real-time and
embedded (DRE) systems are middleware-specific, where they elevate middleware artifacts …

This paper provides two contributions to R&D on model-driven development (MDD)
techniques that help codify the impact of middleware configurations on end-to-end …
