Databases in Control and Simulation.
Esa Falkenroth, Peter Loborg, Anders Törne · 1996
This position paper describes the real-time database research at the Real-Time Systems Laboratory, Linköping University. The current research involves the application of database technology to the control and simulation of physical processes and has two main directions: adequate activity languages to describe high level operations on objects in the environment or in the simulation, and mechanisms to embed databases into control and simulation systems, and adequate data structures. 1 Introduction Our work focuses on the application of databases in real-time software systems and, more specifically, the application dependent requirements put on the embedded database and the realization of the corresponding database technology to satisfy these requirements. In this position paper, we describe our approach to embedding real-time databases in control systems and simulators. This paper will describe our approach in both aspects. We will also discuss the similarities between control and simu...
