Professor Emeritus C. V. Ramamoorthy at UC Berkeley: I proposed some axioms regarding this truly extraordinary person in a meeting of 60 senior people gathered to celebrate his 80th birthday.
* TMO (Time-triggered Message-triggered Object) (also called RTO.k) programming scheme : You can see some of the recent publications. Some demos which may be fancy in academic standards, can be seen via video clips here.
* Some publications on real-time fault-tolerant distributed computing including publications on the ROAFTS (Real-time Object-oriented Adaptive Fault Tolerance Support) middleware are also there.
A TMO Programming & Execution Tool-Kit, consisting of TMO Support Middleware (TMOSM/XP) and TMO Support Library (a C++ API), has been evolving since 1998.
The current version v4.2 should be viewed as a ¥â version. It is used in an undergraduate course at UCI, EECS123 "Introduction to Real-Time Distributed Programming". Lecture slides are there.
Its core is also used in the beginning of a graduate course, EECS223 "Real-Time Computing Systems", and covered by 4 lectures, each of 80 minutes' duration. So, it is quite easy to learn.
It runs on three different major OS kernel platforms: Windows XP, Windows CE, and Linux v2.6.
Recommendations from the users for enhancing the Tool-Kit will be accommodated until December 31, 2006 and then the first official release of a version to the public, hopefully sufficiently robust for industry use, will be made on February 1, 2007.The current ¥â version of the TMO Tool-Kit and application demos running on Windows XP platforms, Windows CE platforms, and Linux platforms are available for downloading from here.
The TMO technology is aimed for enabling a quantum jump in the productivity of real-time distributed computing application programmers, including networked embedded system software engineers.Recent keynotes and invited presentations by the Lab Director
