For real-time applications, the underlying operating system (0S) should support timeliness guarantees of real-time tasks. However, most of current operating systems do not provide timely management facilities in an efficient way. There could be two approaches to support timely management facilities for real-time applications: (1) by modifying 0S kernel and (2) by Providing a middleware without modifying 0S. In our approach, we adopted the middleware approach based on the TMO (Time-triggerred Message-triggered Object) model which is a well-known real-tine object model. The middleware, named TMSOM (TMO Support Middleware) has been implemented on various OSes such as Linux and Windows XP/NT/98. In this paper, we mainly consider TMOSM implemented on Linux(TMOS/Linux). Although the real-time schedul-ing aIgorithm used in current TMOSM/Linux can produce an efficient real-time schedule, it can be improved for periodic real-time tasks by considering several factors. In this paper, we discuss those factors and propose an improved real-time scheduling algorithm for periodic real-time tasks, In order to simulate the performance of our algorithm, we measure timeliness guarantee rate for periodic real-time tasks. The result shows that the performance of our algorithm is superior to that of existing algorithm. Additionally, the proposed algorithm can improve system performance by making the structure of real-time middleware simpler.

TMOSM/Linux v2.0 은 리눅스/임베디드 리눅스에서 분산 실시간 객체 모흼인 TMO로 작성된 프로그램을 실행시키는 미들웨어이다. 최근 임베디드 환경의 급속한 발전과 더불어 다양한 실시간 기반 제어 틴 개발 방법론에 대한 요구사항 역시 증가하고 있지만, 임베디드 리눅스를 비롯한 여러 임베디드 OS에서는 이들을 모두 충족시키는데 여러 단정들이 존재하고 있다. 따라서 TMO기반 미들웨어는 임베디드 OS의 단점들을 보완함은 물론 TMO의 장점을 최대한 끌어낼 수 있는 형태로 구축되어야 할 것이다. 본 논문은 리눅스/임베디드 리눅스에서 TMOSM/Linux v2.0이 TMO 기반 미들웨어로서 그 역할을 최대한 발휘할 수 있도록 구성한 방법중 가상 쓰레드를 이용한 설계와 그 결과를 보인다.

Using switches and sensors informing the current on or off state, this paper suggests a sleeping control and remote monitoring system that not only can recognize the sleeping situations but also can control for keeping an appropriate sleeping situation remotely, And we show an example that this system is applied to the healthcare sleeping mat, Our system comprises the following 3 parts: a part for detecting the sleeping situations, a part for extracting sensing data and sending/receiving the relating situated data, and a part controlling and monitoring the all of sleeping situations. In details, in order to develop our system, we used the touch and pressure-sensitive sensors with On/Off functions for a purpose of the first part, The second part consists of the self-developed embedded board with the socket based communication as well as extracting real-time sensing data. And the third part is implemented by service modules for providing controlling and monitoring functions previously described. Finally, these service modules are implemented by the TMO scheme, one of real-time object-oriented programming models and the communications among them is supported using the TMOSM of distributed real-time middleware.

In this paper, we describes a Compact Distributed Object Group Framework(CDOGF) for mobile collaboration service in ubiquitous computing. CDOGF support network connections of sensors and devices, management of mobile computing devices, and grouping of objects for mobile collaboration service according to the logical area. For this, we defined methods for detail functions and interface. And, we classified into four interactions of that sensors and a application, the CDOGF and a application, between the components of the CDOGF, the CDOGF on a mobile device and the DOGF on a server. We also defined mobile collaboration environment by analyzing existing technologies. In this environment we used the TMO scheme for interaction and the TMOSM for distributed middleware. Finally, we implemented u-hospital application that applied this environment. This application collects environment and health information by PDAs in wards. Also, It provides the information service for patient management task.

In this paper, we construct the traffic information database by using the acquired data from the traffic information devices installed in road network, and, by referring to this database, propose the intersection simulation system which can dynamically manage the real-time traffic flow for each section of road from the intersections, This system consists of hierarchical 3 parts, The lower layer is the physical layer where the traffic information is acquired on an actual road. The traffic flow control framework exists in the middle layer. The framework supports the grouping of intersection, the collection of real-time traffic flow information, and the remote monitoring and control by using the traffic information of the lower layer, This layer is designed by extending the distributed object group framework we developed. In upper layer, the intersection simulator applications controlling the traffic flow by grouping the intersections exist. The components of the intersection application in our system are composed of the implementing objects based on the Time-triggered Message-triggered Object(TMO) scheme, The intersection simulation system considers the each intersection on road as an application group, and can apply the control models of dynamic traffic flow by the road's status. At this time, we use the real-time traffic information collected through inter-communication among intersections. For constructing this system, we defined the system architecture and the interaction of components on the traffic flow control framework which supports the TMO scheme and the TMO Support Middleware(TMOSM), and designed the application simulator and the user interface to the monitoring and the controlling of traffic flow.

Recently, the information appliance devices integrating information technology, appliance technology, and communication technology are appeared in home. And this environment requires that the monitoring technology should include the interaction and the real-time controlling among these devices using home network. In this paper, we implemented the active objects for information appliances by applying the Time-triggered Message-triggered Object(TMO) scheme supporting real-time service. Based on distributed real-time services supporting platform using the TMO Support Middleware(TMOSM), we also constructed the real-time information appliance controlling simulator supporting the remote controlling and monitoring service among active objects. The information appliance devices implemented by the TMO scheme can exchange the housing information by autonomous triggering. And we can conveniently reconfigure the executing environment for information appliances when new devices were inserted. For constructing the simulator on the distributed real-time service supporting platform, we described the functions of the active TMOs for information appliances that execute the temperature management, the illuminance management, and the time management controlling services, and designed the remote interaction among them. Finally, by implementing the simulating environment of information appliance devices on distributed platform, we showed whether the procedures of the real-time controlling and the monitoring service for the active objects of information appliances corresponding to physical devices are processed in given executing conditions correctly.

In this paper, we suggested a mobile collaboration framework for supporting mobile services among mobile devices, and designed and implemented on this environment. The suggested framework has three elements; groups of sensors and mobile devices(Fixed and Moving-typed PDAs) and a home server. We designed interfaces for interactions with each other in collaboration environment with three elements described above. The information collected by sensors can be share and exchanged by mobile devices or a home server in accordance with Push and Pull methods. This framework is based on the distributed object group framework(DOGF) we implemented before. Therefore the DOGF provides functions of object group management, storing information and security services to our mobile collaboration framework via application interfaces defined. The information collected by sensors is arranged according to user's security 'demands. And user profile information is used for checking authority of each service object. Each component for executing functions of mobile devices and a home server is implemented by TMO scheme. And we used the TMOSM for interactions between distributed components. Finally, we showed via GUI the executablity of a given healthcare application scenario on our mobile collaboration framework.

본 논문에서는 분산 실시간 서비스를 지원하는 TMO(Time-triggered Message-triggered Object) 객체를 기반으로 정보가전 기기들을 관리하기 위한 실시간 정보가전 제어 시뮬레이터를 설계 및 구현한다. TMO객체는 기존 객체를 확장한 실시간 특성을 자체적으로 가지는 객체를 UCI의 DREAM연구소에서 제안한 분산 실시간 객체이다. 이러한 TMO 객체를 기반으로 TMOSM(TMO Support Middelware) 상에서 실시간 정보가전 제어를 위한 TMO 객체들의 상호 동작과 실시간 속성을 설계하여 보장된 실시간 서비스를 지원하도록 한다. 본 시뮬레이션 모델은 온도제어, 조도제어, 방법제어 서비스를 지원하는 컴포넌트들로 구성된다. 온도제어 서비스를 위해 Fan_TMO와 Air_Conditioner_TMO, Heater_TMO가 상호 작용하여 적정 실내 온도를 유지하도록 하며, 조도제어 서비스를 위해 Light_TMO가 조도의 변화에 따라 동작하여 일상생활에 적당한 조명 환경을 제공한다. 또한 방범제어서비스를 위해 Camera_TMO가 정해진 시간을 주기적으로 동작하여 방범 활동을 수행한다. 그리고, 각각의 TMO 정보가전 객체들의 동작을 관리하고 서비스 수행 결과를 모니터링 하는 Home_Server_TMO가 존재한다. 마지막으로 설계된 시뮬레이션 환경을 구현하여 본 모델의 실시간 정보가전 제어 서비스를 정확하게 지원하는지를 검증한다. 제안한 시뮬레이션 환경은 일반 정보가전기기를 추가 작업 없이 실시간 서비스 지원 객체로 적용할 수 있는 모델이다.
