Abstract

This paper provides the following contributions to the study of middleware optimization techniques for product line architectures in real-time systems. First, we identify different dimensions of generality in standards based middleware implementations. Second, we describe how specialization approaches used in other domains including OS, compiler and programming languages can be applied to address middleware generality challenges. Third, we present preliminary results from the application of our specialization techniques. Our results illustrate that specialization techniques represent a promising approach for minimizing time/space overheads in middleware.
