Extensible systems: the tigger approach

Abstract

The Tigger project is developing a framework for the construction of a family of distributed object-support platforms suitable for use in a variety of distributed applications ranging from embedded soft-real time systems to concurrent engineering frameworks. As no one system can easily meet the varied demands of these different application areas, customisability, extensibility and portability are put forward as the way to handle diversity and are thus the core design goals in Tigger.
