ABSTRACT
This paper reports on the issues in design and development of Object Oriented Real-Time Distributed Systems using Ada 95. The paper is broken into the following parts: First, one of the general distributed real-time problems is introduced as it fits the domain within Boeing. Next, prototype solutions to the distributed capabilities are introduced including the new technologies present in Ada-95 through DSA (Distributed Systems Annex-E)[2] and extended with CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) capabilities[1]. Many issues are addressed with adoption and use of these technologies especially applicable as they relate to custom fine-tuned solutions used today to solve real-time constraints. As the various distributed solutions provide different strengths, a combination of the capabilities provides an attractive option. A hybrid distributed capability composed of DSA and CORBA has been developed and is discussed as it relates to the seamless introduction with the Ada language. Finally a set of research issues are raised.

Integrating middleware for timely reconfiguration of distributed soft real-time systems with ada DSA
Ada-Europe'12: Proceedings of the 17th Ada-Europe international conference on Reliable Software TechnologiesSoft real-time distributed systems are dynamic in nature which poses a number of challenges to their time-deterministic behavior. The communication links between their remote parts are also a source of temporal uncertainty that requires thorough ...
Towards a real-time distributed systems annex in Ada
In this paper we address the problem of combining two issues that are standardized separately in two Ada 95 annexes: Real-Time Systems (Annex D) and Distributed Systems (Annex E). With these annexes it is possible to build applications with real-time ...
