Plug and Play Integration through Space Object Standardization
نویسنده
چکیده
Plug and play is an industry standard promoted by Intel and Microsoft, and others that allows users to add and remove various input and output devices without making specific customizations to their systems. The idea behind this concept is that using standard products eases integration of components and promotes capabilities of conforming products. The concept works because vendors comply with a standard specification. This paper reports the development of a reference architecture for the mission control domain, which is leveraging off this revolutionary concept. Standards are being developed at the application layer, which enable “plug and play” of mission software products. A Mission Control, reference architecture has been defined. For each sub-domain, the interfaces are modeled in Interface Definition Language (IDL). A subset of the IDL has been developed within both commercial offthe-shelf (COTS) and government (GOTS) products. Selected vendors have agreed to modify their products to be compatible with the defined IDL. The plug and play integration of these different products has been validated in a demonstration testbed.

Middleware for Plug and Play Integration of Heterogeneous Sensor Resources into the Sensor Web
The study of global phenomena requires the combination of a considerable amount of data coming from different sources, acquired by different observation platforms and managed by institutions working in different scientific fields. Merging this data to provide extensive and complete data sets to monitor the long-term, global changes of our oceans is a major challenge. The data acquisition and da...
متن کاملSpace as a Semiotic Object: A Three-Dimensional Model of Vertical Structure of Space in Calvino’s Invisible Cities
Following the “spatial turn” of the last 3 decades in humanities and social sciences and the structure of semiotic object, this research studies space as the main semiotic object of Calvino’s (1972) Invisible Cities. Significance of this application resides in examining the possibility of providing a more concrete methodology based on the integration of Zoran’s (1984) 3 vertical levels of const...
متن کاملImplementing Plug-and-Play Concepts in the Development of an Attitude Determination and Control System to Support Operationally Responsive Space
Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) has become the mantra for the next generation spacecraft that will support the warfighter. ORS missions require an extension of the current, traditional approach for fine-tuned, high cost, high accuracy attitude determination and control system (ADCS) software to create an ADCS system that can be developed much faster and less expensively. To achieve this fa...

In this paper we propose a new cluster architecture for parallel and distributed computing called Agent Space Architecture. Our architecture builds upon the notions of Agent and Object Space and utilizes Multicast Network. The building blocks for our proposed architecture consist of an active processing unit called Agent, a shared place for communication call Space, and a communication medium c...

Based on the CAN bus (High-Speed CAN per ISO 11898), the SAE J1939 standard is used primarily to network the powertrain and chassis in commercial vehicles. The protocol creates a uniform foundation for communication between the electronic ECUs and operates by the plug-and-play principle. The J1939 standard is an active standard that currently consists of 19 documents (Figure 1). The responsible...
