Between now and the early part of the next century, significant portions of today's real-time command, control, and communication (C3) systems will become either functionally inadequate or logistically insupportable. Furthermore, due to the continuing budget reductions, new developments of next generation real-time C3 systems may not be possible. Therefore, current real-time C3 systems need to become easier, faster and less costly to upgrade in capability, and easier to support. What is needed is an approach to evolve current real-time C3 systems into the extensible systems required for the future. This paper describes our Adaptable Real-time Distributed Object Management (ARTDOM) approach for command and control systems. We have constructed a testbed environment and experimented with a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) Object Request Broker (ORB). This project is a three year initiative and is expected to be completed at the end of 1999.

Distributed real time applications have presented the need to extend the Object Management Group's (OMG) Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard to support real time. The OMG has formed a real time special interest group (RT SIG) to specify requirements for extending CORBA for real time. One of these requirements involves providing global scheduling of all executions to support end to end timing constraints in the real time CORBA system. The paper describes the design and implementation of a real time scheduling service for a Dynamic Real Time CORBA system.

This paper identifies some of the issues that need to be explored in systems that support content-based delivery. Distributed systems today are based on address-based delivery of messages. Each message carries the unique addresses of the intended recipients. The idea in content-based delivery is that information is delivered to those objects that have subscribed for that information. The ideas on content-based delivery reported are based partly on Roman Ginis' doctoral dissertation at Caltech. The ideas on directories reported are based partly on Eve Schooler's doctoral dissertation at Caltech.
