Abstract (EN):
CORBA, in particular the real-time specification, has proven to be a reliable and mature technology that has been successfully used in a great number of industrial distributed computing applications. However, its current version does not provide specific mechanisms to support the deployment of synchronous activities in a flexible way. This fact may complicate the application of this technology to certain applications where synchronous behaviour is expected. Therefore, this paper presents a new service, built over CORBA-RT, that allows the synchronization of different activities of a distributed system in an easy way. The paper also explains how this service can be used to optimize, in general, resource utilization in a distributed system.
