DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING OF MEASUREMENT RESULTS IN A CONTROL SYSTEM: CAN MOBILE SOFTWARE AGENTS HELP?

Danila S. Smolko

Abstract

Distributed processing of measurement results poses a number of challenges. Among important requirements are security, performance, robustness and ability to withstand network failures, need for flexibility and elegance of a proposed solution. We propose a novel approach to distributed processing, which capitalises on locality of data access. We propose a distributed software architecture that leverages a flexible consistency checking engine and takes advantage of software agency features in order to meet the mentioned distributed processing requirements.

Keywords

distributed control systems, verification of consistency relations, software agent architecture
