OCTAVE : A data model-driven Monitoring and Control System in Accordance with Emerging CCSDS Standards such as XTCE and SM&C architecture

Abstract

In this paper, we present the Octave platform with its components and applications. Octave platform is a generic Monitoring and Control system partly built from data models. Its service oriented architecture is described with all the mechanisms implemented especially to provide genericity, extensibility and adaptability. Interoperability is also another main asset for Octave thanks to its compliance with standards such as XTCE, CCSDS and SM&C Recommendations. Furthermore, Octave provides portability by the use of Java and free COTS. Thus, Octave appears as a new generation of Monitoring and Control system and is planned to be used to implement the core of the future CNES generic ground platform.
