The time-triggered message-triggered object (TMO) programming scheme has been established to remove the limitation of conventional object programming techniques and tools in developing applications containing real-time (RT) distributed computing components. It is a unified approach for efficient design and implementation of both RT and non-RT distributed applications. As a costeffective facility for supporting TMO-structured distributed RT programming, a middleware architecture that can be adapted to various well-established commercial software/hardware platforms has been established. It has been named the TMO support middleware (TMOSM). In this paper, an adaptation of TMOSM to the Windows CE platform is discussed. The internal structure of the prototype implementation, TMOSM/CE, and some implementation techniques adopted are discussed.
