In order to understand the various terms used to identify an OMG specification as it moves through its editing cycles, consult the OMG Specifications Tutorial. 

 

Specification Name: Additional Structuring Mechanisms for the OTS
Description: Provides a low-level architecture for Workflow Engines, Component Management Middleware, and other systems used to create advanced transaction implementations. Attempts to solved the problem of supporting applications that can be very complex in structure, may take a long time to complete, may contain long periods of inactivity, and have complex relationships with other applications.

Specification Name: Enhanced View of Time (EVoT)
Description: The existing CORBA Services Time Service recognized only one clock, one presumed to represent UTC (Universal Time Coordinated). EVoT 1.x  introduced a generalized Clock interface to represent clocks with differing characteristics. Each clock is capable of providing a readout of time and is characterized by a set of properties.

EVoT 2.0, submitted as an RFC, is a revised and upgraded version of the EVoT v1.2. This specification fixes some issues of the previous specification and introduces new features. The changes introduced were motivated by the experience matured in several projects which relied on the EVoT v1.2 for delivering high performance and highly available time services in application domains such as Air Traffic Control (ATC) Systems and Command/Control Systems. As its predecessors, EVoT 2.0 leaves the specification of CORBA Time Service unchanged.
Keywords: clock, delayed execution, periodic execution, synchronization, time, UTC
