The design and implementation of a Real-Time Object Management Interface

Describes the design of the Real-Time Object Management Interface (RTOMI), a distributed real-time data-access interface which runs on multiprocessor platforms. RTOMI is designed to facilitate the implementation of real-time data-intensive applications by providing process scheduling and data distribution mechanisms that exploit the concept of "similarity". RTOMI is implemented to run on a multi-board Intel System 520 which is used as a testbed for evaluating our real-time transaction scheduling and data distribution algorithms.
