Mapping PEARL's high-level real-time constructs to a C run-Time library under real-time UNIX

Abstract

This paper addresses issues related to the implementation of real-time software. A proposal to enhance real-time programming systems based on C under real-time UNIX operating systems with PEARL high-level time constructs is described. The ideas have been implemented and applied to some case-studies. Experience has shown that the approach represents a powerful and expressive instrument for distributed real-time systems programming.
