The proposed framework consists of three layers: - the kernel, the data exchange layer and common Support - Applications. - </p> - - <p>Such an ideal framework demands a strong, robust - infrastructure and as such, ACE+TAO was chosen to be part - of this project. ACE is the TAO developers API, essentially - making TAO platform independent (or dependent on which platform - ACE is ported to). As such, ACE provides very high level - abstractions and key pattern techniques but handles different - platforms, especially non-POSIX platforms, on a case-by-case - basis (Win32 and VXWorks are two good examples). - </p> - - <p>PACE was born to abstract support for current and additional - non-POSIX platforms away from ACE, thus, becoming an API for - ACE developers to write to. Initial PACE support was limited - to the previously mentioned DII COE platforms. Funding is now - available to PACE to more of the platforms ACE supports, - potentially encapsulating all of the platforms ACE currently - supports.
