Real-Time Innovations (RTI) has successfully prototyped a user-friendly, multi-platform data monitoring tool capable of capturing and displaying data in real-time. This generic data monitor, an extension of RTI's StethoScope tool, can collect and display data on multiple host/target platform configurations. This tool has the potential to greatly assist the Guided Weapons Evaluation Facility (GWE ...

This generic data monitor, an extension of RTI's StethoScope tool, will be able to collect anddisplay data on multiple host/target platform configurations. This tool will greatly assist the GWEF in their HIL testing efforts, with a potential ...

Progress in the area of intelligent automation is impeded by the lack of standardized architectures that promote software reuse. Conventional design methodologies require tailored software solutions that are expensive to implement and difficult to modify.This proposal addresses the need for flexibility and reusability with a scalable architecture that supports a component-based programming paradi ...

Progress in the area of intelligent automation is impeded by the lack of standardized architectures that promote software reuse. Conventional design methodologies produce tailored software solutions that are costly to implement, difficult to modify, andexpensive to maintain. With component reuse, however, designers can realize greater economies of scale and shorter development cycles.Phase I off ...

Software communication requirements for distributed systems can be broadly categorized into three communication patterns, publish-subscribe, client-server, and state propagation. We propose to address the challenge of using these three models together in a consistent and rational manner. By enabling seamless integration of these disparate paradigms, a new level of robustness and dynamism can be ac ...

A novel approach to deterministic fault detection is proposed, based on the idea of augmenting component interface contracts with behavioral and timing semantic tags. Since the component interfaces are registered with the middleware infrastructure,violations of the interface contract semantics can be detected and managed by the middleware. The proposed solution integrates the common middleware co ...

The proposed effort attempts to drive down the cost of Computer Vision systems by advancing a component-based software framework that will allow system integrators to customize vision-based applications from prefabricated, interchangeable parts. This component-based approach provides end-user flexibility, while affording large economies through software reuse. The innovation is the development of ...

While machine vision is a critical enabler for Intelligent Automation, technology innovation has been slowed by custom development and high integration costs. This proposal addresses these issues by advancing a modular, component-based design that allowsvision integrators to customize applications from prefabricated, interchangeable parts. The component-based approach provides end-user flexibili ...
