DEAR-COTS

Full Title

Distributed Embedded Architectures using Commercial Off-The-Shelf Components

Description

The main purpose of the DEAR-COTS project is the specification of an architecture based on the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, able to support distributed computer controlled systems where safety and timeliness are major requirements.

The DEAR-COTS project will address two main problems:

1. How to apply the distributed computing technology to the solution of computer controlled problems using commercial off-the-shelf field-buses?
2. How to support inter-working and interconnection of several “field-bus clusters” and the possibility of remotely access these “clusters interface” for supervision and configuration?
