“…RPC-based models are request-reply and therefore bidirectional in nature. In the case of resource-rich sensing systems, Remote Method Invocation (RMI) [10] has been used to provide reliable RPC-based bindings for Java component models such as OSGi [28] and RUNES [29]. In a WSN context, May et al [11] extend NesC [30] with support for unicast and anycast RPC calls, wherein exactly one neighbouring node responds to the call.…”

Wireless communication plays a critical role in determining the lifetime of Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems. Data aggregation approaches have been widely used to enhance the performance of IoT applications. Such approaches reduce the number of packets that are transmitted by combining multiple packets into one transmission unit, thereby minimising energy consumption, collisions and congestion. However, current data aggregation schemes restrict developers to a specific network structure or cannot handle multi-hop data aggregation. In this paper, we propose Hitch Hiker 2.0, a component binding model that provides support for multi-hop data aggregation. Hitch Hiker uses component meta-data to discover remote component bindings and to construct a multi-hop overlay network within the free payload space of existing traffic flows. Hitch Hiker 2.0 provides end-to-end routing of low-priority traffic while using only a small fraction of the energy of standard communication. This paper extends upon our previous work by incorporating new mechanisms for decentralised route discovery and providing additional application case studies and evaluation. We have developed a prototype implementation of Hitch Hiker for the LooCI component model. Our evaluation shows that Hitch Hiker consumes minimal resources and that using Hitch Hiker to deliver low-priority traffic reduces energy consumption by up to 32 %.

“…On top of this foundation layer, the middleware functionality is implemented by different, self-contained modules providing the functionality. By composing these modules, the middleware can be individually assembled for each deployment [15], [16]. In comparison to our approach, RUNES is missing the notion of features implemented by an assembly of modules containing the application logic.…”

Abstract-The introduction of new propulsion technologies such as electric or hybrid drives imposes fundamental changes to the overall structure of the vehicle's electric and electronic system architecture. It also increases the need for cross-domain functionality, such as centralized energy management or the orchestration of mechanical braking and electric energy recuperation during deceleration. This leads to new challenges with respect to architecture development as interconnections between features are introduced that are not yet fully understood. The vehicle's system architecture evolves from towards a distributed multi-functional control system. Component oriented, model based approaches with multiple viewpoints have already proven being suitable in other domains to manage the dependencies between functionality by decomposing a system into a network of functional entities encapsulated in components.In this paper, we present a domain-specific component model to describe functional interdependencies as well as non-functional requirements needed to enable safe integration of software components in a centralized automotive ICT architecture. The model enables the composition of high-level functions and the definition of compatibility constraints. The approach is then applied to unveil feature interaction in a component architecture. This forms the foundation of a sound development and integration process for heavily interconnected functions. It also enables online product validation mechanisms to ensure functional integrity and safety as well as meeting of deployment constraints and timing requirements.

“…Other projects which apply a service oriented approach are OASiS [12], MORE [13], or RUNES [14]. We believe that our model based code generation and the use of application patterns allows better exploiting the characteristics of a given embedded network by generating tailored code and optimizing the placement of services.…”

Abstract-The development of embedded networks poses several challenges: complexity and size of the network, heterogeneity of nodes, and infrastructure dynamics. From other IT domains it is known that many of these challenges can be met by a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). In the context of embedded networks, an application can be interpreted as a set of interacting services that produce, consume or manipulate data. However, the hard boundary conditions of embedded networks, such as limited resources and real time requirements, have to be taken into account. This paper discusses an embedded SOA ( SOA) concept based on the definition of an embedded service ( Service) term and the differences to traditional Web services based SOAs. The paper describes a middleware platform that supports the execution and development of embedded network applications by employing model based code generation and a pattern based service composition model. The advantages of the approach are showcased using an application from the building automation sector, focusing on the energy management of smart buildings.
