Real time object communication protocol for incremental and distributed prototyping

The IPTES environment and methodology for incremental, heterogeneous and distributed prototyping of real time systems is introduced. The Real Time Object Communication Layer (RTOC) is the module in IPTES which allows the distributed execution of High Level Timed Petri Nets. The primitives and services that provides, the protocol which implements them and the functional modules of RTOC are described.
