Abstract

RTO (Real-Time Objects) is an object-based programming paradigm suited for Real-Time and, in particular, Hard-Real-Time applications. A Real-Time (RT) system must provide (with high probability) response times small in comparison with the time constants of the environment. A Hard-Real-Time (HRT) system is a RT system which must also fulfill deterministic constraints on response times. The aim of RTO is to provide a test bed for the experimentation of concepts which are relevant in the RT area. Then it is focused on those dimensions of Object-Based language design [Wegner 87b] which are tightly related to specific requirements of that area. This paper introduces the rationale for the basic choices of RTO.
