Abstract
This paper describes the implementation of an integration framework to build real-time monitor programs based on software reuse. A custom-made real-time monitor program can be built very quickly by integrating existing monitor programs on commercial operating systems, where limited real-time system support is provided. We address issues related to software control, output re-processing, data age, and interactivities of program executions. The feasibility of this framework is demonstrated by the construction of an integration environment and a monitor program built by the environment for soft real-time applications in the Microsoft Windows operating systems. We also measure the incurred system overheads of this approach.
