2. TMO-based Object Group Model

• TMO Scheme
• Real-time servicing object with the real-time
  constraints itself.
• The existing service object
• Not able to define the real-time constraints in
  its own data structure.
• Having the Spontaneous Method (SpM) that can be
  spontaneously triggered by the defined absolute
  time
• TMO structure scheme is designed by UCI DREAM
  LAB.
• ODS(Object Data Store)
• EAC(Environment Access Capability)
• AAC(Autonomous Activation Condition)
• SpM(Spontaneous Method)
• SvM(Service Method)

2.1 TMO Scheme

• The main features of the TMO
• Distributed computing component.
• Having two types of methods, SpMs and the SvMs.
• which are clearly separated from the existing
  object.
• Triggered by the BCC(Basic Concurrency
  Constraints).
• The deadlines are supplied to the all methods.
• TMO Scheme cannot support
• Checking the security for the object access.
• Managing the duplicated TMOs with the same
  property.
• The distributed scheduling service of several
  TMOs globally.
• For solving these problems, we suggested the
  TMO-based Object Group model.

Components of Object Management Services

• Group Manager(GM) object
• Responsible for managing all of objects in an
  object group.
• Returning the reference of TMO requested from a
  client finally.
• Security object
• Checking the access rights of an object
• Referring the Access Control List(ACL).
• Information Repository object
• Storing information about all TMOs existing in an
  object group.
• Dynamic Binder object
• Selecting an appropriate object of the service
  objects that will be invoked by clients.
• Adopt the binding priority algorithm considering
  systems load information and the request
  deadline(RD).

11
Components of Real-Time Scheduling Services

• Real-Time Manager(RTM) object
• Calculating service deadline(SD) of the TMO
  object, when given a request deadline of a
  client.
• Scheduler object
• Assigning the task priorities of each TMO to the
  requesting tasks.
• Adopting the EDF algorithm.
• TMOs

12
3. Dynamic Object Selection and Binding Service
Strategy

• Service procedures and component functionalities
• The client requests a desiring TMOs reference to
  the Group Manager(GM) object.
• The GM object firstly checks the access right for
  the client via the Security object.
• The GM object sends a clients information to the
  Information Repository object.
• The Information Repository object sends
  replicated TMOs references to the Dynamic Binder
  object.
• Obtaining the reference of an appropriate object.
  
• The GM object receives the TMOs reference from
  the Information Repository object, and returns
  selected ones reference to a client.

13
The Binding Priority Algorithm

• The Dynamic Binder object
• Calculating the binding priority of each
  replicated TMO.
• Considering the load information of systems that
  TMOs are located on and the request deadline
  information of clients task.
• where request_deadline clients request
  deadline, CPU_utilization CPU utilization
  ratios, c rate constant(0.01)

14
The Binding Priority Algorithm
15
An executing example of the Binding Priority
Algorithm

• Replicated TMOs(TMO1 and TMO2) are being in a
  TMOOG.
• Each TMOs ready queue managing in the Dynamic
  Binder object is nulls.
• The CPU utilization ratios of systems in which
  TMO1 and TMO2 are located be the 10 and 11
  respectively and tasks are periodic every 1sec.
• The client1(c1)s request arrived to TMOOG
• The Request Deadline(RD) 100009 and the
  Client's Invocation Time(CIT) 090059, the GM
  objects time 100000
• Returning reference is the TMO1s reference since
  the CPU utilization of TMO1 is lower than TMO2s.
• The client2(c2)s request arrived to TMOOG
• The RD 100011, the CIT 100000, and the GM
  objects time 100001
• The TMO2s binding priority 0.1909, the TMO1s
  BP 0.1526
• These situations will be occurred repeatedly and
  continuously in TMOOG.

4. Real-Time Service Strategy

• Service procedures and component functionalities
• A client tries to bind the selected TMO with
  Real-time Information(RI Client_Name, CIT, RD).
• TMO passes the received RI to the RTM object.
• The RTM object calculates the Service Deadline
• SDRD-Transfer Time(TT)
• The RTM object invokes the Scheduler object to
  decide the task priority of client request.
• The Scheduler object schedules its task priority
  using the EDF algorithm
• The Scheduler object requests the service to TMO
  via the RTM object.
• The TMO executes the real-time service and
  returns its executing result to a client.
• At the same time, the TMO informs the completion
  of service to the RTM object for executing the
  next requested service from another client.

19
4. Real-Time Service Strategy

• The EDF algorithm
• The highest priority task is defined a client
  request with minimum SD.
• The following simple expression uses for making a
  condition decision of the task priority(TP), when
  given SDs of two tasks.
• if SDi lt SDj then TPi gt TPj

20
An Execution Example of the Real-Time Service
Strategy

• The clients(c1,c3,c5,c6,c8) that will be bound
  with the TMO1
• The requests have been arriving to the TMO1
  sporadically and sequentially.
• In initial state, the TMO1 waits for executing
  clients requests.
• When the client1(c1)s request is arrived at the
  TMO1,
• The TMO1 executes the client request immediately.
  
• The TMO1 receives a new client3(c3)'s service
  request during the TMO1s execution,
• This request is passed to the Scheduler object
  and then stored in Scheduler object's ready
  queue.
• These situations will be occurred repeatedly and
  continuously.

21
An Execution Example of the Real-Time Service
Strategy

• Task Priority List in TMO1
• The clients requests are arrived in order of c3,
  c5, c6 and c8 to TMO1
• But, the c3, c5, c8, and c6 will be sequentially
  executed on the TMO1 in accordance with the
  non-preemptive mechanism.

• The modern computing environments
• Changing to the distributed real-time object
  computing environments.
• Growing the real-time service requirements.
• Have to be efficiently managed and grouped with
  distributed objects with real-time properties

• The TMO Object Group model
• Provide the object group management and the
  TMO-based real-time services on COTS middleware.
• Can adopt dynamic object selection and binding

• For achieving our goals,
• Described the concepts of the TMOs, the structure
  of the TMOOG, and the designing functions and
  interactions among the components.
• From the numerical executing results
• Whether our model could support
• The dynamic object selection and binding service
  of replicated TMOs,
• The real-time scheduling service for clients from
  the selected TMO.
• In future, for applying this model
• Having a plan to develop a prototypical platform
  that can adopt various dynamic object selection
