ACE provides a rich set of reusable C++ -wrappers and frameworks that perform common communication software -tasks across a range of OS platforms, including Win32 (i.e., WinNT -3.5.x and 4.x and Win95), most versions of UNIX (e.g., SunOS 4.x, -Solaris 2.x, SGI IRIX 5.x and 6.x, HP-UX 9.x and 10.x, OSF/1 -a.k.a. DEC UNIX, AIX 4.x, Linux, SCO, UnixWare, and FreeBSD), VxWorks, -Chorus, and MVS OpenEdition. A single source tree is used for all -these platforms and porting ACE to other platforms is relatively easy. - -The communication software components provided by ACE include event -demultiplexing and event handler dispatching, service initialization, -interprocess communication, shared memory management, message routing, -dynamic (re)configuration of distributed services, multi-threading, -and concurrency control. There are both C++ and Java versions of ACE -available. - -ACE is targeted for developers of high-performance and real-time -communication services and applications on UNIX, POSIX, and Win32 -platforms. ACE simplifies the development of OO network applications -and services that utilize interprocess communication, event -demultiplexing, explicit dynamic linking, and concurrency. ACE -automates system configuration and reconfiguration by dynamically -linking services into applications at run-time and executing these -services in one or more processes or threads. - -ACE is currently used in commercial projects and products by dozens of -companies including Ericsson, Bellcore, Siemens, Motorola, Kodak, -Boeing, Lucent, DEC, Lockheed Martin, and SAIC. Commercial support -for ACE is available at http://www.riverace.com. - ----------------------------------------- - -C++ Wrappers for OS Interfaces - -The lower-level portions of ACE provide a set of portable and -type-secure C++ wrappers that encapsulate the following C language OS -interfaces: - - . IPC mechanisms - -- e.g., Internet- and UNIX-domain sockets, TLI, Named - Pipes (for UNIX and Win32) and STREAM pipes; - - . Event demultiplexing - -- e.g., select(), poll(), and Win32 - WaitForMultipleObjects and I/O completion ports; - - . Multi-threading and synchronization - -- e.g., Solaris threads, POSIX Pthreads, and Win32 - threads; - - . Explicit dynamic linking - -- e.g., dlopen/dlsym on UNIX and LoadLibrary/GetProc - on Win32; - - . Memory-mapped files and shared memory management - -- e.g., BSD mmap(), SYSV shared memory, and Win32 - shared memory; - - . System V IPC - -- e.g., shared memory, semaphores, message queues. - -The OS Adaptation Layer shields the upper levels of ACE from platform -dependencies associated with the underlying OS interfaces. - ----------------------------------------- - -Frameworks and Class Categories - -ACE also contains a higher-level network programming framework that -integrates and enhances the lower-level C++ wrappers. This framework -supports the dynamic configuration of concurrent distributed services -into applications. The framework portion of ACE contains the -following class categories: - - . The Reactor - -- Supports both Reactive and Proactive I/O; - - . The Service Configurator - -- Support dynamic (re)configuration of objects; - - . The ADAPTIVE Service Executive - -- A user-level implementation of System V STREAMS, - that supports modular integration of - hierarchically-related communicaion services; - - . Concurrency - -- Various types of higher-level concurrency - control and synchronization patterns (such as - Polymorphic Futures and Active Objects); - - . Shared Malloc - -- Components for managing dynamically allocation - of shared and local memory; - - . CORBA integration - -- Integrates ACE with CORBA implementations - (such as single-threaded and multi-threaded - Orbix and Visibroker for C++). - ----------------------------------------- - -Distributed Services and Components - -Finally, ACE provides a standard library of distributed services that -are packaged as components. These service components play two roles -in ACE: - - 1. They provide reusable components for common distributed - system tasks such as logging, naming, locking, and time - synchronization. - - 2. They illustrate how to utilize ACE features such as the - Reactor, Service Configurator, Service Initialization, - Concurrency, and IPC components. - ----------------------------------------- - -Middleware Applications - -ACE has been used in research and development projects at many -universities and companies. For instance, it has been used to build -avionics systems at Boeing, telecommunication systems at Bellcore, -Ericsson, Motorola, and Lucent; medical imaging systems at Siemens and -Kodak; and many academic research projects. Two example middleware -applications provided with the ACE release include: - - 1. The ACE ORB (TAO) -- TAO is a real-time implementation of - CORBA built using the framework components and patterns - provided by ACE. - - 2. JAWS -- JAWS is a high-performance, adaptive Web server - built using the components in ACE. - ----------------------------------------- - -OBTAINING ACE - -The current ACE release is provided as a tar file that is around 3 Meg -compressed using GNU gzip. ACE may be obtained electronically from -http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE-obtain.html. This release -contains the source code, test drivers, and example applications -(including JAWS) for C++ wrapper libraries and the higher-level ACE -network programming framework developed as part of the ADAPTIVE -project at the University of California, Irvine and at Washington -University, St. Louis. - -You can get The ACE ORB (TAO) in a companion release at -http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/TAO.html. - ----------------------------------------- - -ACE DOCUMENTATION AND TUTORIALS - -Many of the C++ wrappers and higher-level components have been -described in issues of the C++ Report, as well as in proceedings of -many journals, conferences, and workshops. - -A collection of white papers and tutorial handouts are included at -ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/languages/c++/ACE/ACE-documentation. This -directory contains postscript versions of various papers that describe -different aspects of ACE. - -I update these papers periodically to reflect changes to the ACE -architecture. Therefore, you might want to check the date on the -files to make sure that you have read the most recent versions of -these papers. - -This material is also available available via the WWW at URL: - -http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html - ----------------------------------------- - -BUILDING AND INSTALLING ACE - -Please refer to the http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE-Install.html -file for information on how to build and test the ACE wrappers. The -BIBLIOGRAPHY file contains information on where to obtain articles -that describe the ACE wrappers and the ADAPTIVE system in more detail. - -The current release has been tested extensively, but if you find any -bugs, please report them to me. - -ACE MAILING LIST AND NEWSGROUP - -A mailing list is available for discussing bug fixes, enhancements, -and porting issues regarding ACE. Please send mail to me at the -ace-users-request@cs.wustl.edu if you'd like to join the mailing list. -There is also a USENET newsgroup called comp.soft-sys.ace. - -ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS - -ACE has been deeply influenced and improved by the following members -of my research group at Washington University: - -Alexander Babu Arulanthu <alex@cs.wustl.edu> -Darrell Brunsch <brunsch@cs.wustl.edu> -Chris Cleeland <chris@cs.wustl.edu> -Sergio Flores-Gaitan <sergio@cs.wustl.edu> -Chris Gill <cdgill@cs.wustl.edu> -Aniruddha Gokhale <gokhale@cs.wustl.edu> -Tim Harrison <harrison@cs.wustl.edu> -James Hu <jxh@cs.wustl.edu> -Prashant Jain <pjain@cs.wustl.edu> -Michael Kircher <mk1@cs.wustl.edu> -David Levine <levine@cs.wustl.edu> -Carlos O'Ryan <coryan@cs.wustl.edu> -Irfan Pyarali <irfan@cs.wustl.edu> -Marina Spivak <marina@cs.wustl.edu> -Nagarajan Surendran <naga@cs.wustl.edu> -Nanbor Wang <nanbor@cs.wustl.edu> -Seth Widoff <sbw1@cs.wustl.edu> - -I would also like to thank all the following people who have also -contributed to ACE and TAO over the years: - -Paul Stephenson <pstephenson@objectspace.com> -Olaf Kruger <okruger@cssc-melb.tansu.com.au> -Ed Brown <eebrown@netcom.com> -Lee Baker <baker@ctis.af.mil> -Alex Ranous <ranous@nsa.hp.com> -Mark Patton <mark_patton@tx72.mot.com> -Steffen Winther Sorensen <sts@dad.stibo.dk> for -Troy Warner <tnw1@core01.osi.com> -Stacy Mahlon <mcs@contour.mayo.edu> -Charles Eads <eads@synoptics.com> -Mark Frutig <mfrutig@fnbc.com> -Todd Hoff <thm@ictv.com> -George <george@truffula.fp.trw.com> -Brad Needham <bneedham@ix.netcom.com> -Leslee Xu <lxu@ics.uci.edu> -Detlef Becker <beckerd@erlh.siemens.de> -Bruce Worden <bruce@betsy.gps.caltech.edu> -Chris Tarr <ctarr@objectspace.co> -Bill Sears <wsears@world.std.com> -Greg Lavendar <g.lavender@isode.com> -Steve Warwick <sjw@aesthetic.com> -Mats Sundvall <sundvall@perrier.embnet.se> -Andreas Ueltschi <Andreas.Ueltschi@ska.com> -Nigel Hooke <n.hooke@trl.oz.au> -Medhi Tabatabai <Mehdi.Tabatabai@ed.nce.sita.int> -Stuart Powell <stuartp@ot.com.au> -Bin Mu <mubin@wfg.com> -Andrew McGowan <mcgowan@wg2.waii.com> -Ken Konecki <kenk@wfg.com> -John P.
