Product:
RTworks 3.5
- Real-time, cross-platform development tools
(From $2,500)
Company: Talarian Corp. (Mountain View, CA)
Telephone: (415) 965-8050
Fax: (415) 965-9077
E-mail: info@talarian.com
URL: http://www.mainstreet.net/talarian
Description:
The RTworks product family, first introduced in 1989, is used to develop
systems that acquire, analyze, distribute and display rapidly-changing data.
RTworks is used primarily for applications such as command and control, alarm
filtering and correlation and large-scale integration and test.
Talarian has increased the reliability of applications built with RTworks
through guaranteed message delivery.
A new process, called RTmonitor, provides a visual
point-and-click interface for monitoring, debugging and administering a
distributed time-critical application. RTmonitor allows one to see a
graphical tree of an application, updated in real time, as processes come and
go from the application.
Also new: a C++ class library to support the programmer using
an object-oriented development process; a new set of
object and class callbacks to the RTworks inference engine that are executed
when certain events occur (e.g., when an object is created). Additionally,
there is a new graphical class browser for viewing a class hierarchy.
Product:
SmartSockets
- Cross-platform messaging system
Company: Talarian Corp. (Mountain View, CA)
Telephone: (415) 965-8050
Fax: (415) 965-9077
E-mail: info@talarian.com
URL: http://www.mainstreet.net/talarian
Description:
SmartSockets enables technical applications to communicate across
different operating system platforms, through the use of messages, in a
way that is straightforward for software engineers to implement.
SmartSockets provides a high-speed message distribution system
where senders and receivers do not have to know each others' IP
addresses. SmartSockets takes care of network interfaces and handles
recovery from network and system problems. This lets software
engineers concentrate on higher-level requirements rather than focusing
on the underlying complexities of the network.
The
SmartSockets distributed communication model allows your client
processes to be distributed among one or more nodes of a homogeneous or
heterogeneous network. Messages are passed using logical addresses,
called datagroups, which are identifiers that specify the destination
of the messages. Message traffic and processing can be optimized using
this mechanism.
