In this paper a data sharing framework for multithreaded, distributed control programs is described that is realized in C++ by means of only a few, powerful classes and templates. Fast data exchange of entire data structures is supported using sockets as communication medium. Access methods are provided that preserve data consistency and synchronize the data exchange. The framework has been suc...

An event-based state estimation approach for reducing communication in a networked control system is proposed. Multiple distributed sensor agents observe a dynamic process and sporadically transmit their measurements to estimator agents over a shared bus network. Local event-triggering protocols ensure that data is transmitted only when necessary to meet a desired estimation accuracy. The event...

Mobile embedded systems are a part of standard applications of distributed system control in real time. An example of a mobile control system is the robotic system. The software part of a distributed control system is realized by decision making and executive agents. The algorithm of agents cooperation was proposed with the control agent on a higher level. The algorithms for agents realized in ...

This article focuses on programming support for the application area of distributed control systems. Program transformations are introduced to modify properties of distributed programs. Based on a specification-oriented version of CSP transformations are applied to solve standard problems of distributed programming. Equally transformations are used to map specification-oriented CSP-programs to ...
