This document is in response to the OMG Real-Time technologies RFI (ORBOS/9609-02). It is intended to provide responses to Requirements, Approach, Categories, Architecture and Technology aspects for integrating real-time technologies into OMG’s CORBA. This response is based on work done in the ReTINA ACTS project (project AC048) which purpose is to develop a flexible, real-time ORB, and on the ...

A coupled atmosphere–ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) is integrated to a near-equilibrium state with the normal, half-normal, and twice-normal amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Most of the ocean below the surface layers achieves 70% of the total response almost twice as fast when the changes in radiative forcing are cooling as compared to the case when they are warming the cli...

In this paper we demonstrate how Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals can be used to obtain exponential bounds for the solutions of time-invariant linear delay systems.
