In this paper we present a technique to allow the use of
real-time database management together with componentbased
software development, to achieve an information centric
run-time platform for the development of embedded
real-time systems. The technique allows components to
benefit from the advantages of a real-time database management
system while still retaining desirable component
properties, such as isolation and a high level of reusability.
We propose that a database is integrated in the component
framework, and introduce the concept of database
proxies to decouple components from the database schema.
The resulting system fully benefits from the advantages of
component-based software development, such as reusability,
all component interaction through interfaces, etc, combined
with the advantages of a real-time database management
system, i.e., system openness, controlled data access,
and dynamic query language capabilities.
