Welch %B Communicating Process Architectures 2007 %X Maturing embeddable real\-time concepts into deployable high consequence systems faces numerous challenges. Although overcoming these challenges can be aided by commercially available processes, toolsets, and components, they often fall short of meeting the needs at hand. This paper will review the development of a framework being assembled to address many of the shortcomings while attempting to leverage commercial capabilities as appropriate.
