Abstract
This paper presents two contributions to the study of component deployment for distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. First, it uses an inventory tracking systems (ITS) as a case study to elicit challenges involved in deploying DRE systems to account for their quality of service requirements. Second, it describes how we designed and implemented the Deployment And Configuration Engine (DAnCE), which is QoS-enabled middleware that addresses the challenges that arose in the context of our ITS case study. Our experience shows that DAnCE provides an effective platform for deploying DRE system components using a standard runtime environment and metadata.
