Customizing event ordering middleware for component-based systems

The stringent performance requirements of distributed real-time embedded systems often require highly optimized implementations of middleware services. Performing such optimizations manually can be tedious and error-prone. This paper proposes a model-driven approach to generate customized implementations of event ordering services in the context of component based systems. Our approach is accompanied by a number of tools to automate the customization. Given an application App, an event ordering service Order and a middleware platform P, we provide tools to analyze high-level specifications of App to extract information relevant to event ordering and to use the extracted application information to obtain a customized service, Order(App), with respect to the application usage.
