Abstract

Embedded systems have become commonplace inrecent years, and are increasingly being networked.Middleware offers many advantages to the distributedapplication programmer, yet there exist very fewmiddleware frameworks for the low end of the embeddedsystems market. In this paper we describeMicroQoSCORBA. It represents a fundamental, bottom-uprethinking of what middleware can and should supportfor resource-constrained devices. This middleware istailorable, with a fine degree of granularity, to both thedevice and the application program's constraints. Wedescribe the multiple Quality of Service domains thatMicroQoSCORBA supports, and present an evaluation ofour working framework.
