Real-time component-based systems

Abstract

Component technology has become a central focus of software engineering in research and development. Reusability is a key factor that contributes to its success. The reuse of components can lead to a shortening of software development cycles and savings in software development costs. However, existing component models provide no support for real-time services and some real-time extensions of component models lack of consideration for reusability of components in providing real-time services. In this work, we develop a real-time component-based system that maintains the reusability of components.
