The ART testbed: towards a predictable and reliable distributed real-time system

An overview of the software components of the Advanced Real-time Technology (ART) system is given. In particular, the integrated time-driven scheduling model which provides predictability, flexibility, and ease of modification for both hard and soft real-time activities, the ARTS kernel including real-time object and thread support, and its basic performance are described. Also included is a summary of the testbed's current status.<
