Mapping Synchronisation Protocols Onto Rt Corba

RT CORBA has been specified with the intention of supporting real-time (RT) distributed applications using diverse scheduling, resource access and synchronisation protocols. This work analyses how two specific synchronisation protocols may be implemented over RT CORBA, and concludes that it is not possible if the spirit of the RT CORBA specification is to be followed, and unless current operating system services are augmented. We purpose several changes to make this mapping possible.
