Java Mirrors: Building Blocks for Interacting with High Performance Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mirror objects are the key building blocks in the virtual `workbenches' and `portals' for scienti c and engineering applications constructed by our group. This paper uses mirror objects in the implementation of the RTTB design workbench, which controls components of the RTTB rapid tooling and prototyping testbed. Mirror objects continuously mirror the states of remote software or even hardware entities, and the operations performed on mirrors are automatically propagated to these entities. Thus, end users perceive mirrors as virtualizations of remote entities. This paper presents the concept of mirror objects, their JMOSS Java-based implementation, the interoperation of JMOSS Java mirrors with the CORBA-based MOSS mirror object implementation, demonstrations of mirror functionality and utility with a virtual `design workbench' used by engineers for rapid tooling and prototyping processes, and performance evaluations of mirror objects. We also present initial evaluations of JMOSS mirrors in mobile environments, where workbench users can continue their PC-based online interactions via handheld devices carried to the shop oor.

Java Mirrors: Building Blocks for Remote Interaction
Java mirror objects are building blocks for integrating web-based with high performance applications. This paper demonstrates the utility of mirror objects for construction of remote ‘portals’ via which scientists or engineers can view the results of ongoing large-scale simulations or physical processes, and even control them, from a wide variety of remote platforms. A sample portal constructed...
متن کاملModel-Driven Construction of Embedded Applications Based on Reusable Building Blocks - An Example
For the rapid engineering of reactive systems we developed the SPACE method, in which specifications can be composed of reusable building blocks from domain-specific libraries. Due to the mathematical rigor and completeness with which the building blocks are designed, we can provide tool support facilitating a high degree of automation in the development process. In this paper, we focus on the ...
