Abstract

Open-source middleware started to be used several years ago for the development of complex applications. When these applications were developed, no real data were available about how maintenance activities could be affected over time. This is especially important for critical applications expected to be maintained over several years. This paper presents maintenance experiences with applications using open-source middleware (TAO and JacORB). These applications are developed using a component model for real-time applications implemented on top of the middleware. Improvements for software reliability have been detected during this time. We present them and how they can be applied to applications using TAO.
