Real-time, Embedded, and Specialized Systems Platform Task Force (RTESS PTF) charter

The RTESS PTF focuses on adaptations and extensions of OMG technologies that apply across domains for real-time, embedded, and other specialized kinds of systems. Examples include systems that have one or more of the following characteristics: real-time, embedded, fault tolerant, highly available, high performance, and safety critical.

RTESS extends specifications for Platform Independent Models (PIMs), the Unified Modeling Language (UML), the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) / Common Object Services (COS), and other standards that fall into the OMG purview. RTESS develops new standards for specialized systems where no current baseline specifications exist. This effort promotes the use of OMG technologies in these markets.

For technology areas that overlap with other OMG Task Forces, RTESS coordinates with the appropriate OMG subgroups and the Architecture Board to determine where the work will be accomplished.
