COMET is a research project distributed between two 
    Swedish Unversities, namely 
    Real-Time Systems Laboratory  at 
    Linköping University, and Mälardalen 
    Real-time Research Center at Mälardalen University. 
    Within the project we are developing new techniques for 
    design and development of real-time and embedded systems, as well as new 
    techniques that enhance  functionality of databases that work in embedded 
    and real-time environments. 
    
    The new software engineering techiques for 
    design of real-time systems and novel database mechansims are applied on an 
    experimental real-time embedded database platform called COMET (a 
    component-based  
    embedded real-time 
    database system).
