The component/container paradigm helps to reduce the complexity and enhance the scalability of software development for plain desktop or enterprise systems. However, the frameworks enabling this approach are often not suitable for systems with limited processing power and memory sizes, and are not dedicated to real-time requirements. As part of the European IST project COMPARE, we study a possible projection from a high-level component model (CORBA component model) towards a low-level RT/E platform (OSEK). Preliminary results from this study are accounted in this paper. In the first part, the main features of CCM and OSEK are examined. Then we propose execution and communication models using an API for OSEK that is as similar as possible to that in the CCM framework.
