DREAMS — concepts of a istributed -time anagement ystem

Although there are some commercial real-time operating systems available at the market today, the common prejudices against their use for implementing control algorithms are still justiied. Consequently, most control applications are designed to run on bare hardware to avoid system overhead and ensure predictable response times throughout the entire application. This paper introduces new concepts for building an operating system, that scales overhead according to present real-time constraints by adapting its set of provided services, so that any application requirements can be fulllled provided that suucient hardware resources are available.
