General view

• Evolution of networked embedded systems
• network unaware
• embedded hardware inaccessible
• network aware
• simple, proprietary connection to outside world
• network connected
• network is add-on, remote access, standards
• network central
• network(s) gets into the system design
• fully networked
• network connectivity essential for core
  functionality (single device rather useless)

Service oriented architectures

• Context network central devices
• make internal capabilities available as services
• host new components / applications
• cooperate to establish platform-services to
  distributed applications
• e.g. resource use
• Software representation
• service oriented architectures

7
Activities

• Progress workshop
• posters, article
• workshop domestic appliances
• most relevant topics indicated gateway
  technology, embedded intelligence, unified
  description language
• Study of related work, methods
• language
• specify services (middleware independent...)
• specify goals/user preferences/target behavior
• semantics (temporal aspects) - initial paper
• event-condition-action systems
• needs to be summarized

8
Activities

• Correctness (real-time) preserving synthesis
• Jinfeng conference visits and presentations
• experimentation environment railway system
• Scenario development
• to learn boundary conditions
• privacy, security, transparent control, autonomy
• obtain feedback
• Overview of SOA
• paper in preparation
• Contacting interested partners
• Philips CFT, DSI/networked storage
• CANDELA project
• Betronics, PTS

9
Research agenda

• Sketch optimal SOA, perhaps develop
• include connection to existing standards
• use work done in last year(s)
• include negotiating efficient protocols
• Build several applications from simple services
• use the scenario as a vehicle
• develop (scripting) language support
• Real-time services require OS-level cooperations
• extend to OS-level services
• cooperation with project QoS in IHDN

10
Perspective

• Jinfeng goes writing his thesis
• Realizing the scenario
• Thang proceeds with the language prototype
• implementation architecture
• simulation, for user feedback
• Yarema works on the SOA
