This proposal addresses a specific domain within embedded systems: that where software must control the transport of physical objects through various way points where physical actions are applied to them. Some examples from this domain include manufacturing assembly lines, printing systems, railroads. Software is needed to simulate the physical system so that the software being designed to control that system can be empirically tested.proposal.
Used in the 2005 edition | Full Description | ResultsThe maintenance people of a service provider have to administer and configure devices and daemons running on server machines. This can be quite cumbersome and is a good candidate for automation.
A system for configuring and maintaining a network of devices for routing and processing and receiving ip data must be maintained. A lot of it is automated. But this is not standard of the shelf software. Big and small service providers often build their own.
The systems involved run very different hardware. Some are configurable through snmp interfaces others through html over http interfaces. Again others run commandline interfaces on proprietary operating systems.
