+* FRSH/FORB FRAMEWORK
+
+  FRSH/FORB is a contract-based resource reservation framework for
+  distributed real-time applications. It provides timing isolation
+  between applications, i.e. multiple applications can use the same
+  resources such as CPU, networks, etc., without influencing timing of
+  the other applications. The main principle is that application
+  developers use FRSH API to specify their resource requirements
+  needed to achieve desired timeliness and the framework uses
+  schedulability analysis to check these requirements. If the check is
+  successful an application is granted a "virtual resource" which
+  allow the application to use the requested resource while enforcing
+  the application not to use more than requested.
+
+  The development of the framework begun in FRESCOR project
+  (http://frescor.org) and now it is developed as a stand-alone
+  project on SourceForge (http://frsh-forb.sf.net).
