“…Furthermore, they do not have a unified data format. In recent years, with the purpose of loosecoupling and expandability of isomerous systems, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been exploited [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Procedural rules are utilized to access such software that is published as a web service.…”

One of the fundamental problems in complicated system environment is the mechanism of data interaction and sharing between heterogeneous data sources. The known solutions, using middlewares to unify data formats, are not reliable due to the tightly coupled architecture, poor portability and reusability, large update latency, etc. To solve this situation, we herein introduce the concept of Service Data Object (SDO) into a platform of aircraft collaboration designing, to build a data integration mechanism among the multidisciplinary applications that collaborate the designing process. We propose a Global Uniform Model Generation Algorithm (GUMGA) to automatically generate the uniform data format of the applications, using XML as a bridge among heterogeneous data sources. A case study is implemented and tested to prove that GUMGA can shield the isomerism among data sources, and provide an effective and extensible solution to deal with the data integration problem in complicated systems.

“…The RIMA is the set of available software components running on top of the Data Distribution Service (DDS) middleware to give support to most types of RPAS civil missions. RIMA has been designed partially following the guidelines described in [43].The middleware used is the Connext DDS from the company RTI Innovation [44]. It also defines their interrelations as a basic starting point for further development by users.…”

This paper presents the hardware design and integration process employed to develop an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) helicopter. The design process evolves from the bare airframe (without any electronics), to become a complete and advanced UAS platform for remote sensing applications. The improvements, design decisions and justifications are described throughout the paper. Two airframes have been used during the design and integration process: the AF25B model and the more advanced AF30 model, from the Copterworks company. The airframe engine reliability and fuel economy have been improved by adding an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) and Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI), both managed by an Engine Control Unit (ECU). On-board power supply generation and regulation have also been designed and validated. Finally, the integration process incorporates on-board mission computation to improve the concept of operation in remote sensing applications. Several flight tests have been performed to verify the reliability of the whole system. The flight test results demonstrate the correct process of integration and the feasibility of the UAS.

“…Many companies and research institutes have already designed and adopted reference architectures for different application domains (Arsanjani et al, 2007;Nakagawa et al, 2011b;The Open Group, 2015). In particular, several examples of reference architectures are already available for the development of embedded systems (AUTOSAR, 2015;Eklund et al, 2005;Eklund and Bosch, 2014;UniversAAL Project, 2015) and robotic systems (Albus, 2002;Alvarez et al, 2001;Clark, 2005;Heisey et al, 2013;Nakagawa et al, 2014;Ortiz et al, 2005;Weyns and Holvoet, 2006).…”

“…Different institutions in both academia and industry have already proposed and used reference architectures in several application domains. There are examples of reference architectures designed for software engineering tools (Nakagawa et al, 2011b(Nakagawa et al, , 2007, service-oriented systems (Arsanjani et al, 2007;OASIS, 2012;Oliveira et al, 2010;The Open Group, 2015;Zimmermann et al, 2009), embedded systems (AUTOSAR, 2015;Batory et al, 1995;Eklund et al, 2005;Eklund and Bosch, 2014;UniversAAL Project, 2015), robotic systems (Albus, 2002;Alvarez et al, 2001;Clark, 2005;Hayes-Roth et al, 1995;Heisey et al, 2013;Naka-gawa et al, 2014;Ortiz et al, 2005;Weyns and Holvoet, 2006), and so forth. However, no reference architecture has focused on the development of robotic systems based on SOA.…”
