The availability of real-time drilling data communication is highly critical to the exploration and production business of any petroleum company. Such critical mission requires oil companies to use the cutting edge technology because doing that can increase the profitability of the company by millions of dollars. Moreover, even short delay in data transfer could results in severe damages, injur...

Real-time event stream processing (RT-ESP) applications must synchronize continuous data streams despite fluctuations in resource availability. Satisfying these needs of RT-ESP applications requires predictable QoS from the underlying publish/subscribe (pub/sub) middleware. If a transport protocol is not capable of meeting the QoS requirements within a dynamic environment, the middleware must b...

Standard based Pub/Sub middleware, such as OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS), could assume a key role in supporting computer communications requiring continuous state information updating, deterministic deadline to data delivering and real time information adjourning. This kind of capability could be well exploited by Peer-To-Peer (P2P) systems, Internet-wide as long as private ones, like in ...

SCADA systems are widely spread in automation, monitoring and control systems for industrial processes. These systems are used to develop the factories of the future. Currently, the most SCADA systems allow data sharing only within a local network. With the development of the Internet of Things concept, it was started to be used in the systems for the factories of the future. One of the most po...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have emerged as one of the most promising technology to provide a wide variety of industrial applications. However, it is still failing to respond in a timely fashion service. In contrast to existing studies, we propose a more practical standard known as Data Distribution Service (DDS), as a middleware standard for interoperable Data Centric Publish-Subscribe (DC...

Recently, the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology attracts the world market attention as essential technology for ubiquitous environment. The RFID market has focused on transponders and reader development. But that concern has shifted to RFID software like as high-valued e-business applications, RFID middleware and related development tools. However, due to the high sensitivity of ...

Let's define a distribution model as a set of mechanisms to handle distribution for example, distributed object computing, Remote Procedure Call, and message passing. Middleware specifications such as CORBA or Java Message Service propose the API and protocols to support these models. (For example, CORBA supports distributed object computing, and Java Message Service supports message passing.) ...

End-to-end quality-of-service (QoS) support in middleware is critical to achieve publish/subscribe (pub/sub)-based distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. This poster describes ongoing work on supporting QoS properties over wide area networks within the OMG’s Data Distribution Service (DDS) by leveraging the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Session Description Protocol (SDP).

In a Multi-Agent system, middleware is one of the components used to isolate control and communications. The use of standards in the implementation of an intelligent distributed system is always advantageous. This paper presents a middleware that provides support to a multi-agent system. Middleware is based on the standard Data Distribution Services (DDS), proposed by Object Management Group (O...

To achieve the goal of information dominance, the DoD has adopted the doctrine of net-centric operations and warfare (NCOW). The Global Information Grid (GIG), Future Combat System (FCS), C2 Constellation, and FORCEnet are examples of net-centric operations where multiple systems-of-systems integrate thousands of platforms, sensors, decision nodes, weapons, and warfighters through heterogeneous...
