Title
An overview of RealTimeTalk, a design framework for real-time systems
Abstract
RealTimeTalk (RTT) is a design framework for developing distributed real-time applications with both hard and soft requirements. The frame- work supports design via hierarchical decomposition. We believe that object-orientation is the best way to go about struc- turing a problem, hence the RTT language is based on Smalltalk with an analysis frontend to infer type information for run-time safety, and to yield more precise estimations of execution times. Unlike most real-time systems, RTT does not force the designer to embed constructs for timing requirements, communication, and synchro- nization in the code. Rather, such information is specied on a higher level of abstraction using graphical tools. This not only keeps the code \clean" but also simplies timing analysis and resource allocation. A comparison with other real-time systems concludes the paper.
