Domain of Application
Certain real-time applications have benefited from TAO's use of familiar software concepts to present a solution to challenging real-time software problems. In general, real-time systems require predictable timing characteristics and robustness since they are used in mission-critical domains. Other real-time applications require low development cost and fast time to market. TAO addresses both of these by providing an already-implemented general-purpose communications framework that uses concepts familiar to non-real-time portions of the software industry.

Famous quotes containing the words domain of, domain and/or application:
“In the domain of Political Economy, free scientific inquiry meets not merely the same enemies as in all other domains. The peculiar nature of the material it deals with, summons as foes into the field of battle the most violent, mean and malignant passions of the human breast, the Furies of private interest.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Without metaphor the handling of general concepts such as culture and civilization becomes impossible, and that of disease and disorder is the obvious one for the case in point. Is not crisis itself a concept we owe to Hippocrates? In the social and cultural domain no metaphor is more apt than the pathological one.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose application of the word. Consider the flea!—incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
