Time-Triggered Smart Transducer Networks

Time-triggered Transducer Networks

Acknowledgments First of all I would like to thank my supervisor Prof. Dr. Hermann Kopetz for his support and advice on my work. As head of the Institute of Computer Engineering he provided me with the fruitful environment of our research group and the resources that were necessary to write this habilitation thesis. for proofreading and comments on the introduction. All remaining mistakes are m...

A Simulation Architecture for Time-Triggered Transducer Networks

Steadily growing microcontroller capabilities at an ever decreasing cost per operation encourage the development of more extensive and smarter applications in the domain of embedded systems. Intelligent systems, i. e., systems that react appropriately to changing situations without user input, provide an attractive solution in order to keep pace with the upcoming challenges of the embedded mark...

SNMP-based Approach to Scalable Smart Transducer Networks

Nowadays on the embedded systems market there is a remarkable shift from the industry field buses to the Ethernet and internet (TCP/IP) communication technologies. The work presented in this paper aims to introduce an approach to develop TCP/IP based smart sensor and actuator networks, which are scalable, both in physical size and in the number of sensors and actuators. This approach uses the S...

An Architecture supporting Monitoring and Configuration in Real-Time Smart Transducer Networks

A smart transducer network consists of a set of transducer nodes interconnected with a digital bus. Smart transducer technology implicates the development of systems supporting the timely exchange of real-time data. Additional requirements are support for system integration, mechanisms for dynamic reconfiguration, and diagnostic interfaces. Such systems should be composable and ease controlling...
