Realization of autonomous decentralized computing with the RTO.k object structuring scheme and the HU-DF inter-process-group communication scheme
K.H. Kim, Kazuo Mori, Hikaru Nakanishi · 2002
The autonomy of various subsystems in complex real-time distributed computer systems is a highly desired attribute. Highly autonomous subsystems enable concurrent and largely independent testing/verification and maintenance of the subsystems. In recent years, we formulated two system structuring techniques which could be used as fundamental tools for enhancing the subsystem autonomy: the RTO.k object structuring scheme and the HU-DF inter-process-group communication scheme. Three approaches of using the above two tools for enhancement of the three different basic types of autonomy in an object: relocation autonomy; service timing autonomy; and data acceptance autonomy, are presented.>
