\subsection*{CORBA}
CORBA is a middleware, which allows RPC\footnote{Remote Procedure
Call}-based IPC\footnote{Inter Process Communication} between
different operating systems and different programming languages
(Figure \ref{img:orb}).
The communication interfaces are defined in IDL\footnote{Interface Definition
Language}. The IDL files are compiled into, e.g. c++, java, \dots,
code which does the (de)serialization of the datatypes. The interface
implementations (CORBA objects) are registered with language
specific ORB\footnote{Object Request Broker}s. Each CORBA process owns
one ORB, which handles the function requests and returns the
calculated values.

\end{figure}
As shown in figure \ref{img:rtorb}, a real-time capable ORB extends a standard
ORB with the following features: locating objects in constant time,
preallocation of resources, operating system independent priority
handling, priority based scheduling.
ACE is an open-source c++ framework for platform-independent system-
and network-programming. TAO is a Real-time CORBA implementation build
on top of ACE (Figure \ref{img:ace}).

\end{figure}
The ACE/TAO package is available for all important operating
systems. The framework can be trimmed for embedded systems: Each
application described in this paper consumes less than 1 MByte of
RAM. Also the consumed CPU time is suprisingly low.
