In this paper we address the problem of combining two issues that are standardized separately in two Ada 95 annexes: Real-Time Systems (Annex D) and Distributed Systems (Annex E). With these annexes it is possible to build applications with real-time requirements, or alternatively distributed applications; but real-time distributed applications are not directly supported. In this paper we propo...

A summary of the photometric data obtained by the Hipparcos and Tycho missions is presented. The photometric signals and their reduction to magnitudes are described, as well as the passbands and their evolution. The main mission photometry provided on average 110 observations for each of the 118 000 stars observed during the mission. The accuracies for this epoch photometry range from a few mil...

This recommended practice addresses the activities of the creation, analysis, and sustainment of architectures of software-intensive systems, and the recording of such architectures in terms of architectural descriptions . A conceptual framework for architectural description is established. The content of an architectural description is defined. Annexes provide the rationale for key concepts an...
