Events: A structuring mechanism for a real-time runtime system

Recent progress in the implementation of the ORE real-time programming language is reported. A summary of the important features of the language is included. Progress in designing a runtime system for the language is reported. The design issues are discussed. A model of ORE processes is described. The set of operations defined on events, strips, and processes is described. Examples of the implementation of specific ORE features using this mechanism are illustrated.
