ABSTRACT
This study focuses on the current state of error-handling technology
and concludes with recommendations for further research in error
handling for component-based real-time software. With real-time
programs growing in size and complexity, the quality and cost of
developing and maintaining them are still deep concerns to embedded
software industries. Component-based software is a promising approach
in reducing development cost while increasing quality and
reliability. As with other real-time software, component-based
software needs exception detection and handling mechanisms to satisfy
reliability requirements. The current lack of suitable error-handling
techniques can make an application composed of reusable software
nondeterministic nad difficult to understand in the presence of errors.
