[cosmic-users] Cannot create CQML project

Thu May 16 14:24:46 CDT 2013

Hi Johnny,

Thank you for clarifying that. Is there a currently accepted best
practice to express RT QoS constraints (priorities, etc)?
Can this be done with PICML / DQML? Or should it be done during
component implementation (hard-wired)?

Best Regards,
Hartmut
