The service-oriented architecture (SOA) paradigm is increasingly applied to the armed forces' IT infrastructures. However, existing SOA implementations tend to create increased demand on network resources and are thus not ideally suited for the disadvantaged networks of the tactical battlefield. Facing these disadvantages, we propose a tactical service infrastructure (TSI) which is currently being shaped in the TACTICS project with different European partners. In this paper we present our architecture which combines promising techniques such as cross-layering, delay-tolerant networking, and store-and-forward transport to overcome the issues faced when propagating SOA to the tactical military world

“…These three problems are partially addressed in the literature reporting simulations and field experiments in tactical networks (e.g. [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]). For example, it is common to find studies using non-stochastic user-generated data flows with few types of messages sent to the network within an uniform time window (problem A).…”

This paper introduces a hierarchy of queues complementing each other to handle ever-changing communication scenarios in tactical networks. The first queue stores the QoS-constrained messages from command and control systems. These messages are fragmented into IP packets, which are stored in a queue of packets (second) to be sent to the radio buffer (third), which is a queue with limited space therefore, open to overflow. We start with the hypothesis that these three queues can handle ever-changing user(s) data flows (problem A) through ever-changing network conditions (problem B) using cross-layer information exchange, such as buffer occupancy, data rate, queue size and latency (problem A|B). We introduce two stochastic models to create sequences of QoS-constrained messages (A) and to create ever-changing network conditions (B). In sequence, we sketch a control loop to shape A to B to test our hypothesis using model A|B, which defines enforcement points at the incoming/outgoing chains of the system together with a control plane. Then, we discuss experimental results in a network with VHF radios using data flows that overflows the radio buffer over ever-changing data rate patterns. We discuss quantitative results showing the performance and limitations of our solutions for problems A, B and A|B.

“…However, in a tactical domain like military networks, the services are mostly constrained with limited bandwidth and unreliable radio networks. This challenge is addressed by Wireless Broadband Mobile Networks (WBMNs) [11]. Moreover, SOA is integrated with WSNs for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), obtaining the best results for safety and security in ITS applications.…”

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become essential components for a variety of environmental, surveillance, military, traffic control, and healthcare applications. These applications face critical challenges such as communication, security, power consumption, data aggregation, heterogeneities of sensor hardware, and Quality of Service (QoS) issues. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a software architecture that can be integrated with WSN applications to address those challenges. The SOA middleware bridges the gap between the high-level requirements of different applications and the hardware constraints of WSNs. This survey explores state-of-the-art approaches based on SOA and Service-Oriented Middleware (SOM) architecture that provide solutions for WSN challenges. The categories of this paper are based on approaches of SOA with and without middleware for WSNs. Additionally, features of SOA and middleware architectures for WSNs are compared to achieve more robust and efficient network performance. Design issues of SOA middleware for WSNs and its characteristics are also highlighted. The paper concludes with future research directions in SOM architecture to meet all requirements of emerging application of WSNs.
