Hi all, I am doing some research in the area of real-time computing and I am working on the special issue of far distributed real-time, which means larger real-time systems than i. g. factory plants. So now I am searching for literature of similar applications. What I have found, was the special issue of the Advanced Automation System (AAS) (a flight control system) of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration in IEEE Computer Feb. 87 and some articles about the same topic in IEEE Spectrum Feb. 91, but what I am looking for, are more real-time related papers on this subject. Besides this, I have heard about EUROCONTROL, a flight control system used in some parts of north-west Europe, but I could find nothing about it. If you have any hints for me, please e-mail, since I do not receive rec.aviation here. I will provide a summary in both groups.

Contact anyone doing work on the IVHS (Intelligent Vehicle Highway System) project. The primary groups (forgive me if I've omitted your favorite university here) are at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and University of California at Berkeley. I am not sure who the contact would be at Berkeley, but at Michigan, you can talk to Professor Kang Shin in the EECS department. 2. I remember reading a paper that came out of the MIT robotics lab (I'm not sure of the exact name-- perhaps someone from MIT could supply a contact) that dealt with geographically distributed real-time systems. Both of these research groups are likely to have done some research that will be of use to you. The robotics paper I remember reading had something to do with remotely controlled robots in outer space. Good Luck! - Eugene Walden (walden@gate.ready.com)
