Automatic, Network-directed Operating System Software Upgrades: A Platform-independent Approach

نویسنده

John R. Lawson

چکیده

The initial system load (ISL) capability of Digital's layered-product POLYCENTER Software Distribution (formerly known as RSM) version 3.0 provides OpenVMS system managers with a network-directed tool for performing automatic operating system software upgrades. The design of the POLYCENTER Software Distribution product integrates a number of new and varied software architectures to perform the ISL. A description of the POLYCENTER Software Distribution implementation of the ISL for the OpenVMS operating system details the steps of the ISL process. The software's modular ISL mechanism can be expanded for use on other Digital and non-Digital operating systems and hardware platforms.

Verified ROS-Based Deployment of Platform-Independent Control Systems

The paper considers the problem of model-based deployment of platform-independent control code on a specific platform. The approach is based on automatic generation of platform-specific glue code from an architectural model of the system. We present a tool, ROSGen, that generates the glue code based on a declarative specification of platform interfaces. Our implementation targets the popular Ro...

Automatic Landing of Small Helicopters on 4 DOF Moving Platforms

In this research, an automatic control system is designed for landing of a small helicopter on a 4 DOF moving platform. The platform has three translational and one directional degree of freedom. The controller design approach is based on development of helicopter nonlinear dynamic model into the SDC (State Dependent Coefficient) form and real time solving of state dependent Riccati equation (S...

The software architecture of a SAN storage control system

We describe an architecture of an enterpriselevel storage control system that addresses the issues of storage management for storage area network (SAN) -attached block devices in a heterogeneous open systems environment. The storage control system, also referred to as the “storage virtualization engine,” is built on a cluster of Linux-based servers, which provides redundancy, modularity, and sc...

Region Directed Diffusion in Sensor Network Using Learning Automata:RDDLA

One of the main challenges in wireless sensor network is energy problem and life cycle of nodes in networks. Several methods can be used for increasing life cycle of nodes. One of these methods is load balancing in nodes while transmitting data from source to destination. Directed diffusion algorithm is one of declared methods in wireless sensor networks which is data-oriented algorithm. Direct...
