Research on service bus for Distributed Real-time Control Systems

Integration of Distributed Enterprise Applications: A Survey

“…Particularly, industrial enterprises such as power plants have strict performance constraints and response time requirements on their industrial systems and applications. For example, many industrial automation and control systems collect data from heterogeneous sensors and require real-time analyses for the data collected from a large variety of heterogeneous sensors [54][55][56][57]. As DRCS is playing an increasingly crucial role in critical industrial operations and transactions, new integration techniques such as real-time distribution middleware, distributed real-time Java [6] and real-time SOA solutions [54][55] are needed to address performance and time constraints concerns, predict performance, and mitigate integration risks such as lost or missent data, incomplete, unreadable, or invalid data, accountability and security [58][59].…”

“…Thus, research on the integration reliability including data and information reliability is highly valued by all industrial enterprises [54]. New guidelines and methods such as task load balance, fault-tolerant and message scheduling and transaction mechanisms needed to be further developed to ensure the reliability, maintainability, fast diagnosing and robustness of integrated industrial applications and devices in various environments.…”

“…Deployment of built-in and dynamically deployed user services in a physical device still need further research work to ensure the expected functionality and performance [66]. Various middleware solutions and architectures (e.g., publisher/subscriber architecture, real-time message bus architecture, ontology architecture) for integrating industrial applications, RFID, WSN and IoT have been proposed [14], [50,54], [65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73]. However, these solutions and architectures are typically designed for respective domains.…”
