Attaining flexible real-time systems by bringing together component technologies and real-time systems theory

We propose a component model and run-time mechanisms, gathering benefits provided by both real time systems (RTS) and component based software engineering (CBSE). In particular, we show that the proposed model is a suitable package for efficient utilization of the multiple version paradigm. The purpose of using a multiple version technique is to ensure a minimum level of quality while providing runtime flexibility.
