A distributed framework for real-time in-vehicle applications

Abstract

This paper presents a framework for distributed in-vehicle real-time applications. The framework is based on a client/server and emitter/receiver models with real-time extensions. The system allows the exchange of distributed data objects between calculators interconnected by a network bus. A dynamic reconfiguration and fault detection mechanisms are developed to ensure a reliable system. Interactions between processes are performed using the IEEE-1394 bus and are modeled as invocations to communicating active objects via an Object Oriented middleware called SCOOT-R that we developed. Finally, we present a typical automotive application involving our system: real-time accurate vehicle positioning on a digital map.

Multi-Agent Active Collaboration Between Drivers and Assistance Systems

“…D-BITE is written in C++ and exploits a middleware called SCOOTR [15]. SCOOTR is a fully distributed middleware based on a "client-server" approach.…”

Towards a Middleware Approach for a Self-configurable Automotive Embedded System

“…An additional approach according fault-tolerance and dynamic reconfiguration is discussed in [16]. Again replicated services are used in this model.…”
