Abstract

An increasing number of mission-critical systems are being developed using distributed object computing middleware, such as CORBA. Applications for these systems often require the underlying middleware, operating systems, and networks to provide end-to-end quality of service (QoS) support to enhance their efficiency, predictability, scalability, and fault tolerance. The Object Management Group (OMG), which standardizes CORBA, has addressed many of these QoS requirements the recent Real-time CORBA and Fault Tolerant CORBA (FT-CORBA) specifications. This paper describes the patterns we are incorporating into a FT-CORBA service called DOORS to eliminate performance bottlenecks caused by common implementation pitfalls.
