  2. leader follower sensors actuators controller Br Acc Ba S PID bang-bang Hierarchical, Heterogeneous Modeling and Design A model of computation governs the interaction of components at each level of the hierarchy. A submodel exposes a domain-polymorphic interface that governs the inter-domain semantics.

  3. Ptolemy II Ptolemy II – • Java based, network integrated • Many domains implemented • Multi-domain modeling • XML syntax for persistent data • Block-diagram GUI • Extensible type system • Code generator on the way http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu

  4. Domains Status • Domains we understand well: • Dataflow • Process networks • CSP • Discrete events • Continuous time • Synchronous reactive • Finite state machines • Domains we are working on: • Publish & subscribe • Time triggered Our focus is particularly on how these domains support real-time QOS

  5. Concept Demonstration • Networked sensors and actuators • Multiple, networked controllers, controllees • Hierarchical, heterogeneous design • Domain polymorphic components • Discovery • Mutable systems

  6. Experimental Setup 1451.2 Ethernet Hub Telemonitor Tilt sensor Agilent NCAP

  7. Networked Smart Sensors HTTP queries Ethernet Agilent NCAP HTTP interface 1451.2 Telemonitor Tilt sensor

  8. Abstraction of the Sensoras a Software Component HTTP queries Ethernet Agilent NCAP 1451.2 Telemonitor Tilt sensor

  9. Smart Sensor + Ptolemy II Tilt sensor connected to a plotter.

  10. Issues Raised • Concurrency management with I/O • Separate thread handles communication • Rendezvous with computational thread • How to maintain time consistency? • How to ensure no deadlock?

  11. Register a Service Planned - Discovery Ethernet Hub Agilent NCAP JINI 1451.2 Telemonitor Tilt sensor

  14. Planned - Discovery Communicate Ethernet Hub Agilent NCAP JINI 1451.2 This would provide a vendor-neutral software component. Telemonitor Tilt sensor

  15. Actuator Setup Proxy serial port Lego Mindstorm IR tower

  16. Linking the Tilt Sensor and Actuators

  17. Mutations – Dynamic Structural Changes to the Model • Thread-safe Ptolemy II kernel • Mutual exclusion protocol in the Workspace object. • Domains control when mutations are committed. • Mutations are queued with the Manager object. • Manager executes mutations between iterations. • Meaning of “iteration” is domain-dependent. • In this example: • The event thread in the UI queues mutation requests • The executing model commits the mutations at safe points.

  18. Publish and Subscribe • Use Jini to discover the publish/subscribe fabric. • Our current realization returns a JavaSpaces interface. • Future realization will use OCP from Boeing. • Real time • Prioritized delivery, handling • QOS is not part of JavaSpaces.

  19. Clock Publisher/Subscriber

  20. Distributed Lego Controller Tilt sensor data published, controller subscribes. left = 4 * xTilt - 2 * yTilt right = 4 * xTilt + 2 * yTilt

  21. Other Examples We Have Implemented • Other Lego models: • Modal controller for navigation • Feedback of sensor data • Hybrid systems: • Car tracking example • Helicopter multi-modal controller • Pioneer robot control • Multi-agent coordination • Jini discovery of robots • Publish-and-subscribe task distribution

  22. Styles of Publish and Subscribe Interactions • time stamped events? • globally time stamped? • reliable delivery? • ordered delivery? • signal coordination? • synchronous delivery? • blending of multiple publishers? • dynamic redirection/resourcing? • persistence? • history?

  23. A Key Idea • We need a variety of interaction mechanisms. • In the prototype, • Jini delivers an interaction mechanism service by delivering code that realizes that interaction mechanism. • A "meta OCP (open control platform)" could similarly deliver any of several interaction mechanisms.

  24. Example 1 • Component says: • "I need a reliable stream-based delivery mechanism to get sampled data from here to there." • Meta-OCP says: • "OK, here's some code for you and the recipient of your data." • Delivered code uses TCP/IP and sockets, bypassing any central infrastructure. • E.g., Transporting audio data.

  25. Example 2 • Component says: • "I need a shared data repository visible to a number of components." • Meta-OCP says: • "OK, here's some code for you and the recipient of your data." • Delivered code interacts with a Linda-style tuple space. • E.g., reading the current temperature from a sensor.

  26. Example 3 • Component says: • "I need to send time-stamped data that must be delivered and dealt with within 3 msec." • Meta-OCP says: • "OK, here's some code for you and the recipient of your data." • Delivered code interacts with TAO. • E.g., deliver motion control data.

  27. Next Steps • OCP integration • Define publish and subscribe semantics • Discovery of sensor/actuator services • Abstraction of sensor/actuator services • Real-time QOS • Time-driven domain (Giotto) • Multi-robot coordination • Improved UI (particularly to help debugging)
