    APIS : a real-time message-oriented middleware
    (2001) Steyn, Manie C; Ventura, M J
    This thesis presents an investigation and evaluation of a Real-Time Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) implementation using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software components. The Application Interface Services (APIS) is an implementation of a real-time MOM that provides network services to sub-systems of a large-scale distributed system. It is shown that the characteristics of a MOM are well suited to a real-time message distribution application and that APIS, as an implementation of a real-time MOM, can provide a heterogeneous network interlace to subsystems of a distributed real-time nature. This simplifies the task of implementing information exchange and provides a definitive boundary for assigning responsibility during system design and development.
