ObjecTime Announces Additional Real-Time Operating Systems Support for Rational Rose RealTime.KANATA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 1999-- ChorusOS, LynxOS, QNX A multiuser, multitasking, real time operating system for PCs from QNX Software Systems, Ltd., Ottawa, Ontario (www.qnx.com), that is noted for its low-memory requirement and rapid response. Similar to Unix, it has been in use since the early 1980s. Integrations Extend Target Deployment Environments for Rose RealTime Developers ObjecTime Limited, the leader in UML (Unified Modeling Language) An object-oriented analysis and design language from the Object Management Group (OMG). Many design methodologies for describing object-oriented systems were developed in the late 1980s. engineering automation tools optimized for developers of embedded software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. systems and co-developer of Rational Rose RealTime, Monday announced support for additional real-time operating systems for deploying Rational Rose RealTime applications. These new operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. include Sun Microsystems' ChorusOS, Lynx Real Time Systems, Inc.'s LynxOS and QNX Software Systems, Ltd.'s QNX. The addition of these target operating systems to those currently supported by Rational Rose RealTime -- Wind River Tornado, Integrated Systems pSOS+, Enea OSE OSE - Open Systems Environment , Microtec VRTX An earlier real time operating system for embedded systems from Mentor Graphics, Wilsonville, OR (www.mentor.com). VRTX was the progenitor of the VxWorks OS from Wind River and was superseded by Nucleus OS. VRTX - Virtual Real-Time Executive. , Microsoft Windows NT, Sun Solaris and Hewlett Packard HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations. (operating system) HP-UX - The version of Unix running on Hewlett-Packard workstations. - extends the range of target deployment environments available to Rational Rose RealTime developers. "We are continuing to implement our strategy of creating a comprehensive engineering desktop, optimized for the needs of embedded software developers," said Dave Longbottom, vice president of sales and marketing at ObjecTime. "The successful introduction of Rational Rose RealTime, Powered by ObjecTime, demonstrates our commitment to continue to work with industry leaders like Rational to fulfill this vision. Our extensive experience in the embedded tools market and partnerships with RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. vendors enable us to accelerate delivery of an integrated solution to the developer," explained Longbottom. Rational Rose RealTime is a comprehensive UML development environment enabling developers to compile, execute, debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. and test real-time applications directly from UML design models. Co-developed by Rational and ObjecTime Limited, Rational Rose RealTime simplifies the complexity common to concurrent, distributed and time-critical systems by providing a visual depiction of the design that allows all team members to easily see and understand the impact their design decisions have on the system. It improves the productivity of developers through automatic code generation and eliminates manual translation errors between design and implementation, delivering savings of both time and money. "There are a large number of real-time operating systems used in embedded software applications," said Pamela Roussos, vice president and general manager of Rational's Rose RealTime business unit. "These additional integrations from ObjecTime provide Rose RealTime developers with greater flexibility by extending the application of Rose RealTime to a wider range of target operating systems." Pricing & Availability These RTOS integrations are available immediately from ObjecTime. Prices start at $2,800 U.S. per seat, which includes one year of technical support. ObjecTime also provides comprehensive maintenance and support for these integrations. In addition, ObjecTime offers services to add support for other operating systems, based upon customer demand.
