As the smart grid becomes reality, software architectures for integrating legacy systems with new innovative approaches for grid management are needed. These architectures must exhibit flexibility, extensibility, interoperability and scalability. In this position paper, we describe our preliminary work to design such an architecture, known as GridOPTICS, that will enable the deployment and integration...
System response time is a key element in hard real time systems. In classical Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) based on software schedulers, overhead and jitter are a major problem when the number of tasks and the rate of context switches are high. Increased values for those parameters over admissible values can lead to performance degradation, increased power consumption or even deadline misses...
Several researchers have established the superior performance of spatial audio over monaural audio in multi-talker environments. The advantage provided by spatial audio can be incorporated in an audio teleconferencing system for an enhanced user experience. In our earlier work, a novel scheme for the spatial rendition of audio in an audio teleconferencing situation was proposed based on the concept...
In the automotive industry, the Automotive Open System Architecture AUTOSAR is established as a de-facto standard and is applied in a steadily increasing number of development projects. In addition, AUTOSAR attracted the attention of other non-automotive industries, like railway, agriculture and construction machines, power generation and marine technology. The first versions of the standard successfully...
Managing the network security events data stream, which is very large and real-time, and mining useful information from the data stream to analyse and forecast security situation, are very difficult. In this paper, we present an architecture, hybrid data stream cube, and its incremental updating algorithm. Experimental results proved that this architecture could facilitate on-line, multi-dimension,...
The co-modality is a new notion introduced by the European commission in 2006. It consists on developing infrastructures and taking measures and actions that will ensure optimum combination of individual transport modes enabling them to be combined effectively in terms of economic, environmental, service and financial efficiency, etc. Including different transport services in one system means that...
At present, water quality monitoring is the essential part to our country's aquaculture. In this paper, we developed a real-time water quality environment monitoring system based on wireless sensor network to acquire data of environmental factors of water quality. Also, the system can provide expert knowledge to deal with data for making control decision. Such a system is attractive because it ensures...
The growing number of customers and their specific application domains for the NH90 has led to an increasing number of functionally different helicopter variants. In order to cope with the high number of software variants, the NH90 software team has developed a software architecture that is based on Software Product Line (SPL) principles. Military avionics systems are constrained by many factors that...
By this paper, the background for the occurrence of the industrial control configuration software(CS) is analyzed, the connotation of CS is given, the architecture of it is constructed, and the current situation of CS is summarized. Finally, the six development trends of CS are predicted, they are: function customization, function extension, application expansion, monitor networking, software standardization...
The Maestro processor is a 49-core many-core processor for space based on the TILE64 architecture and implemented in rad-hard-by-design technology by Boeing. In this paper we discuss the programming models for Maestro, the implications of the programming model on fault tolerance and flight software, and the software development tools that have been developed for Maestro. The software described here...
[1] stated that a trend in the sensor technology is the development of intelligent sensors also called smart sensors. The development of such sensors do not only rely on the hardware development but also on the software. The later should so meet the requirements on low costs and of quality. This paper presents our approach to model the software of a smart sensor and to generate the code for the embedded...
Distributed architecture is a fundamental way for science and engineering data application by aggregate power of computing resources connected by networks of the grid. This paper describes a innovative scenarios for intensive rainfall data analysis. The Flood Early Warning System is performed to give an alert in advance about the occurrence of heavy rainfalls around the world. The aim of the project...
This paper presents a concise behavior arbitration mechanism for the ISiMI100 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) which was developed by MOERI-KORDI. The control architecture of the ISiMI100 AUV is a hybrid architecture consisting of the mission layer, the behavior layer, the logical sensor layer, and the library layer. This paper focuses on the behavior layer supported by the Tiny Mission Language...
Future space missions call for innovative computing system architectures, meeting strict requisites of size, weight, power consumption (SWaP), cost, safety and timeliness. To answer the aerospace industry interests, especially the European Space Agency (ESA), the AIR (ARINC 653 in Space Real-Time Operating System) architecture has been defined, following the advanced notion of time and space partitioning...
Social robots must adapt to dynamic environments, human interaction partners and challenging new stringent tasks. Their inner software should be designed and deployed carefully because slight changes in the robot's requirements can have an important impact in the existing code. This paper focus on the design and implementation of a lightweight middleware for networked robotics called \textit{Nerve},...
This paper describes the architecture of the functional electrical stimulation systems developed in the context of the TIME European project. Contributions are the definition of a generic FES architecture and the specialization of this architecture, depending on the applicative context, by the deployment, the programming and the control of hardware units, notably stimulation ones. This specialization...
The purpose of this paper is to stress how the development of real-time platforms for smart grid software services can be propelled by software agility. The Agile software development methodology promotes simplicity and rapid adaptability to evolving requirements and standards. Integrating software tests systematically from the onset of product development to the final release ensures robustness....
The reconfiguration of control software is regarded as an important ability to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency in future manufacturing systems. Agent technology is considered as a promising approach to provide reconfiguration abilities, but existing work has been focused mainly on the reconfiguration of higher layers concerned with production scheduling and planning. In this paper, we present...
To support the emerging trends in mobile interaction, design patterns for distributed software system need adaptations and extensions. In this paper, we describe an implementation framework for providing interactive applications with distributed message-based Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture using event programming design. The provided solution uses the XMPP protocol for exchanging message...
Multiprocessors systems on chip (MPSoCs) have become the de-facto standard in embedded systems. The use of Networks-on-chip (NoCs) provides to these platforms scalability and support for parallel transactions. The computational power of these architectures enables the simultaneous execution of several applications, with different time constraints. However, as the number of applications executing simultaneously...
