Resource Virtualization in Real-Time CORBA Middleware

Overview Middleware for parallel and distributed systems is designed to virtualize computation and communication resources so that a more abstract and consistent view of those resources is presented to the applications that use them. This paper describes several examples of real-time CORBA middleware and examines how different constraints impact the way in which resources are virtualized in each case. Particular attention is paid to which details are hidden from users of the middleware, which details are exposed in the middleware's programming model, and how the hidden and exposed details interact to shape middleware design and implementation choices.
