Abstract

This study focuses on the current state of error-handling technology and concludes with recommendations for further research in error handling for component-based real-time software. With real-time programs growing in size and complexity, the quality and cost of developing and maintaining them are still deep concerns to embedded software industries. Component-based software is a promising approach in reducing development cost while increasing quality and reliability. As with any other real-time software, component-based software needs exception detection and handling mechanisms to satisfy reliability requirements. The current lack of suitable error-handling techniques can make an application composed of reusable software nondeterministic and difficult to understand in the presence of errors.
