Architectures for Fault-Tolerant Real-Time CORBA Application

The purpose of this project is to develop an architecture for a distributed system that requires both real-time and fault-tolerant properties. This research tries to solve the problem imposed by conflicting requirements of real-time system and fault-tolerant system and to specify trade offs that need to be made because of the conflicts. This work exploits Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) as a platform for building a fault-tolerant real-time distributed system.

Knowledge-Based Component Ensemble Evaluation (K-BACEE)

K-BACEE is an expert system for component selection and a repository for component specifications, interactions and rules. Its purpose is to automate the selection of components and evaluate the compatibility of components in component ensembles. My contribution in this project includes: improving the component schemas, gathering the component specifications and interactions, extending the system and the component repository to reflect the new schema.
