Distributed applications management platform based on Service Component Architecture

Sensory environments for healthcare are commonplace nowadays. A patient monitoring system in such an environment deals with sensor data capture, transmission and processing in order to provide on-the-spot support for monitoring the vulnerable and critical patients. A fault in such a system can be hazardous on the health of the patient. Therefore, such a system must be dependable and ensure reliability, fault-tolerance, safety and other critical aspects, in order to deploy it in real scenario. Also, the management of the infrastructure resources must be efficient and the eventual system reconfiguration must be reliably performed. This paper encounters some of these issues and proposes a component platform with specific support for several QoS aspects, namely fault tolerance, safe inter-component communication and resource management. The platform adopts the Service Component Architecture (SCA) model and defines a Data Distribution Service (DDS) binding, which provides the fault tolerance and the required safety-ensuring techniques and measures, as defined in the IEC Multimed Tools Appl

Current automation systems need to be able to cope with the continuously changing requirements of the applications in terms of complexity, extensibility and dynamism. To match these challenging requirements, modern automation systems need to incorporate new software engineering techniques. These techniques must provide to the automation systems additional abilities such as diagnosis and reconfiguration. This paper describes an approach for the design of a Multi-Agent System (MAS) based supervisory architecture towards the design of reconfigurable automation systems; the reconfigured system will meet Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. In particular, in this paper the core of the supervisory architecture is presented. It is based on refreshing states and moving functionalities among the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Besides, the agents negotiate if a PLC failure is detected.

Current automation systems demand flexibility enough to meet the challenging requirements of applications in terms of complexity, extensibility or dynamism. From a global perspective the whole automation system must meet quality of service (QoS) requirements which can be, for instance, energy efficiency, load balance or full availability. This paper presents a reconfiguration-based architecture triggered by a higher level supervision that makes use of a component based middleware. The first step of the supervisory architecture is presented aiming at achieving the availability of the control system even in presence of control equipment failures.
