Abstract:
In this paper distributed architectures for autonomous vehicles are addressed, with a special emphasis on its real-time control requirements. The interconnection of the distributed intelligent subsystems is a key factor in the overall performance of the system. To better understand the interconnection requirements, the main techniques and modules of a global navigation system are described. A special focus on fieldbuses properties and major characteristics is made in order to point out some potentialities, which make them attractive in autonomous vehicles real-time applications, either in terms of reliability as in terms of real-time restrictions.

Abstract:
Nowadays there is an increasing trend of applying wireless technologies in industrial automation. However, the industrial control environment is harsher and noisier posing more stringent requirements on real-time communication. The variation in wireless signal strength with time and location, and power limitation due to battery usage make the problem even worse. Accordingly, availability and reliability of such system should be seriously analyzed before deployment. Modeling the reliability of these distributed real-time systems with nodes having embedded software has become an integral part of the design process. The time constraints that real-time systems must meet directly affect the reliability measure itself irrespective of the nature of the measure. A metric for calculating system reliability is proposed in this paper and a Monte Carlo simulation based algorithm for calculating the same is presented here. The results show that system reliability stabilizes with time even with increasing network size.

Abstract:
This paper presents design details adopting open embedded systems (OES) as real-time controllers in industrial distributed control systems. OES minimize development cost and enhance portability while addressing widely known shortcomings of their proprietary counterparts. These shortcomings include the black box method of distribution which hinders integration to more complex systems. However, OES are highly dependent on the compatibility of each software components and essential benchmarking is required to ensure that the system can satisfy hard real-time constraints. To address these issues and the notion that OES will find broader distributed control applications, we provide detailed procedures in realizing OES based on an open source real-time operating system on various low-cost open embedded platforms. Their performance was evaluated and compared in terms of periodicity and schedulability, task synchronization, and interrupt response time, which are crucial metrics to determine stability and reliability of real-time controllers. Practical implementations, including the modernization of a multi-axis industrial robot controller, are described clearly to serve as a comprehensive reference on the integration of OES in industrial distributed control systems.

This paper proposes Makespan and Reliability based approach, a static sheduling strategy for distributed real time embedded systems that aims to optimize the Makespan and the reliability of an application. This scheduling problem is NP-hard and we rely on a heuristic algorithm to obtain efficiently approximate solutions. Two contributions have to be outlined: First, a hierarchical cooperation between heuristics ensuring to treat alternatively the objectives and second, an Adapatation Module allowing to improve solution exploration by extending the search space. It results a set of compromising solutions offering the designer the possibility to make choices in line with his (her) needs. The method was tested and experimental results are provided

Abstract:
Continuous innovations in adaptive matched-field processing (MFP) algorithms have presented significant increases in computational complexity and resource requirements that make development and use of advanced parallel processing techniques imperative. In real-time sonar systems operating in severe underwater environments, there is a high likelihood of some part of systems exhibiting defective behavior, resulting in loss of critical network, processor, and sensor elements, and degradation in beam power pattern. Such real-time sonar systems require high reliability to overcome these challenging problems. In this paper, efficient fault-tolerant parallel algorithms based on coarse-grained domain decomposition methods are developed in order to meet real-time and reliability requirements on distributed array systems in the presence of processor and sensor element failures. The performance of the fault-tolerant parallel algorithms is experimentally analyzed in terms of beamforming performance, computation time, speedup, and parallel efficiency on a distributed testbed. The performance results demonstrate that these fault-tolerant parallel algorithms can provide real-time, scalable, lightweight, and fault-tolerant implementations for adaptive MFP algorithms on distributed array systems.

Abstract:
Recently, cloud computing has been widely used for the purpose of protecting client data on the Internet [A. Weiss, Computing in the clouds, netWorker11 (2007) 16–25; M. Armbrust et al., Above the clouds: A Berkeley view of cloud computing, Technical Report UCV/EECS-2009-28, University of California at Berkeley (2009)]. But when a client receives network service, response time may be slow because the data center is located in a remote place. In order to solve the problem, real-time distributed systems for cloud computing has been proposed [M. Okuno, D. Ito, H. Miyamoto, H. Aoki, Y. Tsushima and T. Yazaki, A study on distributed information and communication processing architecture for next generation cloud system, IEICE Tech. Report109(A48) (2010) 241–246; M. Okuno, S. Tsutsumi and T.

Yamanaka, A study of parallel transmission technique with GMPLS in intelligent cloud network, IEICE Tech. Report109(455) (2010) 51–56]. The cloud computing system consists of some intelligent nodes as well as a data center. The data center manages all client data. The intelligent node provides client service near clients. It enables to provide client service at short response time [M. Okuno, D. Ito, H. Miyamoto, H. Aoki, Y. Tsushima and T. Yazaki, A study on distributed information and communication processing architecture for next generation cloud system, IEICE Tech. Report109(448) (2010) 241–246]. We considered the reliability model of distributed information processing for cloud computing, derived cost effectiveness and discussed the optimal replication interval to minimize it [M. Kimura, M. Imaizumi and T. Nakagawa, Reliability modeling of distributed information processing for cloud computing, in Proc. 20th ISSAT Int. Conf. Reliability and Quality in Design (2014), pp. 183–187]. Authors had dealt with the server system with one failure mode. In this paper, we consider the reliability model of a real-time distributed system with n intelligent nodes and formulate a stochastic model of the server system with n intelligent nodes for changing the other normal intelligent node at failure. We derive the expected numbers of the replication and of updating the client data. Further, we derive the expected cost and discuss an optimal replication interval to minimize it. Next, we derive the cost effectiveness and discuss an optimal number of intelligent nodes to minimize it.

Abstract:
This paper addresses the problem of task allocation in real-time distributed systems with the goal of maximizing the system reliability, which has been shown to be NP-hard. We take account of the deadline constraint to formulate this problem and then propose an algorithm called chaotic adaptive simulated annealing (XASA) to solve the problem. Firstly, XASA begins with chaotic optimization which takes a chaotic walk in the solution space and generates several local minima; secondly XASA improves SA algorithm via several adaptive schemes and continues to search the optimal based on the results of chaotic optimization. The effectiveness of XASA is evaluated by comparing with traditional SA algorithm and improved SA algorithm. The results show that XASA can achieve a satisfactory performance of speedup without loss of solution quality.

Abstract:
Nowadays, different companies use Ethernet for different industrial applications. Industrial Ethernet has some specific requirements due to its specific applications and environmental conditions which is the reason that makes it different than corporate LANs. Real-time guarantees, which require precise synchronization between all communication devices, as well as reliability are the keys in performance evaluation of different methods [1].  High bandwidth, high availability, reduced cost, support for open infrastructure as well as deterministic architecture make packet-switched networks suitable for a variety of different industrial distributed hard real-time applications. Although research on guaranteeing timing requirements in packet-switched networks has been done, communication reliability is still an open problem for hard real-time applications. In this thesis report, a framework for enhancing the reliability in multihop packet-switched networks is presented. Moreover, a novel admission control mechanism using a real-time analysis is suggested to provide deadline guarantees for hard real-time traffic. A generic and flexible simulator has been implemented for the purpose of this research study to measure different defined performance metrics. This simulator can also be used for future research due to its flexibility. The performance evaluation of the proposed solution shows a possible enhancement of the message error rate by several orders of magnitude, while the decrease in network utilization stays at a reasonable level.

Abstract:
A new approach to the evaluation of the reliability of electrical systems is presented. In this approach a Graph Trace Analysis based approach is applied to integrated system models and reliability analysis. The analysis zones are extended from the traditional power system functional zones. The systems are modeled using containers with iterators, where the iterators manage graph edges and are used to process through the topology of the graph. The analysis provides a means of computationally handling dependent outages and cascading failures. The effects of adverse weather, time-varying loads, equipment age, installation environment, operation conditions are considered. Sequential Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate the reliability changes for different system configurations, including distributed generation and transmission lines. Historical weather records and loading are used to update the component failure rates on-the-fly. Simulation results are compared against historical reliability field measurements. Given a large and complex plant to operate, a real-time understanding of the networks and their situational reliability is important to operational decision support. This dissertation also introduces using an Integrated System Model in helping operators to minimize real-time problems. A real-time simulation architecture is described, which predicts where problems may occur, how serious they may be, and what is the possible root cause.

Abstract:
[eng] When Distributed Embedded Systems (DESs) operate in evolving environments, changing requirements might be imposed on the system, and thus the system needs the ability to adapt to them. Furthermore, when such systems are employed for real-time (RT) critical applications, both support for satisfying stringent RT guarantees and attaining a high level of reliability must be provided. The Flexible Time-Triggered (FTT) communication paradigm provides support for changing real-time traffic requirements in adaptive RT DESs, i.e., it provides RT flexibility. The different implementations of FTT on Ethernet have recently added to FTT advantages of Ethernet such as high bandwidth, low cost and, since Ethernet is the de facto Link Layer standard of many communication systems, also an easier potential integration. A specific FTT implementation on Ethernet, called Flexible Time-Triggered Ethernet Star (FTTRS), has been recently proposed to add mechanisms to tolerate faults in the channel as a means to increase the reliability of the final system. However, it is known that to reach a very high level of system reliability it is crucial to also tolerate faults in the computation nodes. This is so because the computation nodes are usually the most complex components of a DES and, hence, they are less reliable than most of the components that constitute the channel, e.g. the links. This thesis proposes a node replication architecture and appropriate node faulttolerance (FT) mechanisms so as to attain a high level of reliability for critical RT DES. The proposed architecture and FT mechanisms are based on an active node replication strategy with distributed majority voting. The mechanisms are designed on top of FTTRS in order to take advantage of the features that the FTT paradigm and the FTTRS communication subsystem already provide in terms of channel RT flexibility and channel fault tolerance. We start by introducing the concepts, terminology and methodology used to specify, design and test a fault-tolerant system. Special attention has been paid to describing the specific fault-tolerance techniques used in this dissertation. Also, we present the foundations on top of which we develop our node FT mechanisms. In particular we present the FTT communication paradigm and the details of the FTTRS itself. Then, we describe the main contributions of this dissertation. We start by a general description of the overall system. Then, we clarify what types of faults (fault model) we address, and we thoroughly describe and classify all the manners in which these faults may manifest (failure model). Afterwards we focus on describing the proposed FT mechanisms based on both active node replication and FTTRS. Once this description is completed, we propose a realization of the designed FT mechanisms for the specific case of control applications. Moreover, in order to test and verify the correctness of our node replication architecture and FT mechanisms, we present a simulation model as well as a real prototype. We use these simulation model and real prototype to thoroughly inject faults (in terms of all the manners in which faults can manifest according to the failure model) and, then, we inspect if the mechanisms function as intended in both of them. Finally, we build a dependability model to quantify the level of reliability attainable by a DES relying on our node replication architecture and FT mechanisms. By means of the work described in the current dissertation we prove the following thesis statement: “It is possible to attain high levels of reliability of adaptive critical RT DES that rely on a reliable and flexible RT communication subsystem based on an FTT implementation on Ethernet by providing FT mechanisms for the nodes.”
[spa] Los sistemas empotrados distribuidos son sistemas compuestos por un conjunto de nodos interconectados que trabajan para lograr un objetivo común y que forman parte de un sistema mecánico o eléctrico más grande. Los nodos suelen estar interconectados por medio de una red de comunicación. En cuanto a las redes de comunicación, en las últimas décadas Ethernet se ha convertido en una de las tecnologías más populares debido a sus muchas ventajas tales como simplicidad, anchos de banda siempre crecientes y bajo coste, entre otras. Cuando los sistemas empotrados distribuidos forman parte de sistemas más grandes que ejecutan aplicaciones críticas, a menudo existe la necesidad de proporcionar un soporte para requisitos de respuesta en tiempo real y para la consecución de una muy elevada fiabilidad. La tecnología original de Ethernet no proporciona ningún soporte de este tipo. Por lo tanto, en esta disertación usamos el recientemente propuesto subsistema de comunicación que recibe el nombre de Flexible Time-Triggered Replicated Star (FTTRS) como medio para interconectar los nodos de los sistemas empotrados distribuidos que ejecutan aplicaciones críticas. FTTRS toma la tecnología de red Ethernet como base y sobre ella proporciona mecanismos para soportar respuesta en tiempo real y elevada fiabilidad. La respuesta en tiempo real es proporcionada por el uso del paradigma de comunicación Flexible Time-Triggered (FTT) implementado sobre el protocolo Ethernet el cual, además de la provisión de garantías de tiempo real, también proporciona flexibilidad, en concreto, la capacidad de modificar el comportamiento de la red en tiempo de ejecución mientras se mantienen las garantías de tiempo real comprometidas. La elevada fiabilidad en FTTRS se logra mediante mecanismos que toleran los fallos que podrían afectar a la comunicación entre nodos. Sin embargo, proporcionar tolerancia a fallos únicamente al subsistema de comunicación no es suficiente para satisfacer los requisitos de fiabilidad más exigentes de las aplicaciones críticas. Para alcanzar altos niveles de fiabilidad, los fallos en los propios nodos del sistema empotrado distribuido también deben ser tratados. En consecuencia, hemos diseñado varios mecanismos de tolerancia a fallos para tratar los fallos que puedan afectar al correcto funcionamiento de los nodos. Estos mecanismos aprovechan las características del subsistema de comunicación FTTRS y del paradigma de comunicación FTT subyacente. Concluyendo, en esta tesis veremos cómo podemos, con la introducción de mecanismos específicos para tolerar los fallos de los nodos de un sistema empotrado distribuido basado en FTTRS, lograr muy elevados niveles de fiabilidad para el sistema en su conjunto. Además del diseño de los mecanismos de tolerancia a fallos de los nodos, también mostraremos cómo se puede evaluar la fiabilidad resultante y estableceremos cuál es el beneficio obtenido, comparando dicha fiabilidad con la de una versión no tolerante a fallos del mismo sistema.

Els nodes solen estar interconnectats mitjançant una xarxa de comunicació. Quant a les xarxes de comunicació, en les últimes dècades Ethernet s’ha convertit en una de les tecnologies més populars a causa dels seus molts avantatges tals com a simplicitat, amples de banda sempre creixents i baix cost, entre d’altres. Quan els sistemes encastats distribuïts formen part de sistemes més grans que executen aplicacions crítiques, sovint existeix la necessitat de proporcionar un suport per a requisits de resposta en temps real i per a la consecució d’una molt elevada fiabilitat. La tecnologia original d’Ethernet no proporciona cap suport d’aquest tipus. Per tant, en aquesta dissertació usem el recentment proposat subsistema de comunicació que rep el nom de Flexible Time-Triggered Replicated Star (FTTRS) com a mitjà per interconnectar els nodes dels sistemes encastats distribuïts que executen aplicacions crítiques. FTTRS pren la tecnologia de xarxa Ethernet com a base i sobre ella proporciona mecanismes per suportar resposta en temps real i elevada fiabilitat. La resposta en temps real és proporcionada per l’ús del paradigma de comunicació Flexible Time-Triggered (FTT) implementat sobre el protocol Ethernet el qual, a més de la provisió de garanties de temps real, també proporciona flexibilitat, en concret, la capacitat de modificar el comportament de la xarxa en temps d’execució mentre es mantenen les garanties de temps real compromeses. L’elevada fiabilitat en FTTRS s’aconsegueix mitjançant mecanismes que toleren les fallades que podrien afectar a la comunicació entre nodes. En qualsevol cas, proporcionar tolerància a fallades únicament al subsistema de comunicació no és suficient per satisfer els requisits de fiabilitat més exigents de les aplicacions crítiques. Per aconseguir alts nivells de fiabilitat, les fallades en els propis nodes del sistema encastat distribuït també han de ser tractades. En conseqüència, hem dissenyat diversos mecanismes de tolerància a fallades per tractar les fallades que puguin afectar al correcte funcionament dels nodes. Aquests mecanismes aprofiten les característiques del subsistema de comunicació FTTRS i del paradigma de comunicació FTT subjacent. Concloent, en aquesta tesi veurem com podem, amb la introducció de mecanismes específics per tolerar les fallades dels nodes d’un sistema encastat distribuït basat en FTTRS, aconseguir molt elevats nivells de fiabilitat per al sistema en el seu conjunt. A més del disseny dels mecanismes de tolerància a fallades dels nodes, també mostrarem com es pot avaluar la fiabilitat resultant i establirem quin és el benefici obtingut, comparant aquesta fiabilitat amb la d’una versió no tolerant a fallades del mateix sistema.

Full text
Abstract:

Simulation is a good way to gain insight into a system, for example during development, without having to run or build the actual system. This is especially true for real-time systems, which often operate in hazardous environments or control critical entities in the 'real' world, making testing of these systems in their real environment unsafe during development.

When building simulations, one simulator is not likely to fit every type of simulation project. Therefore, different simulators, which focus on different aspects of simulation, are built. The High Level Architecture (HLA) from the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) is an architecture for distributed simulations providing a means to communicate between different simulations.

However, the HLA standard has limitations if viewed from a real-time perspective. For example, there is no built-in support for fault tolerance. In this thesis some of the limitations in HLA are identified and an extended architecture that uses a distributed active real-time database as a way to overcome these limitations is presented. One of the major advantages with this new extended HLA architecture is that it is still compliant with HLA, i.e., no modifications have been made to the HLA interfaces.

Full text
Abstract:

Recovery is a fundamental service in database systems. In this work, we present a new mechanism for diskless real-time recovery in fully replicated distributed real-time database systems. Traditionally, recovery has relied on disk-resident redundant data. Unfortunately, disks cannot always be used in real-time systems since these systems are sometimes used in environments which do not allow the use of disks. Also, minimizing the amount of hardware can save money, especially in mass-produced products. Instead of loading the database from disk, our recovery mechanism enables a restarted node to retrieve a copy of the database from an arbitrary remote node. The recovery mechanism does not violate timeliness during normal processing and, during recovery, all nodes except for the recovering node can guarantee the timeliness of critical transactions. The mechanism uses fuzzy checkpointing to copy the database to the recovering node. Fuzzy checkpointing has been chosen since it copies the database without regard to concurrency control and, thus, does not increase data contention in the database. We conclude that the suggested recovery mechanism is a feasible option for fully replicated distributed real-time database systems.

Full text
Abstract:

Development of distributed real-time applications, in contrast to best effort applications, traditionally have been a slow process due to the lack of available standards, and the fact that no commercial off the shelf (COTS) distributed object computing (DOC) middleware supporting real-time requirements have been available to use, in order to speed up the development process without sacrificing any quality.

Standards and DOC middlewares are now emerging that are addressing key requirements of real-time systems, predictability and efficiency, and therefore, new possibilities such as component decomposition of real-time systems arises.

A number of component decomposed architectures of the distributed active real-time database system DeeDS is described and discussed, along with a discussion on the most suitable DOC middleware. DeeDS is suitable for this project since it supports hard real-time requirements and is distributed. The DOC middlewares that are addressed in this project are OMG's Real-Time CORBA, Sun's Enterprise JavaBeans, and Microsoft's COM/DCOM. The discussion to determine the most suitable DOC middleware focuses on real-time requirements, platform support, and whether implementations of these middlewares are available.

Abstract:
Distributed control system (DCS) is widely used in industrial process control. As a matter of fact, the database in DCS is of great importance for the safety and reliability of the whole system. This paper focuses on the distributed real-time database in a dedicated DCS used to a small nuclear power station. A database which runs under Vxworks embedded operation system and can satisfy the basic database requirements was established by using the RDM Embedded database management system which reduces the operation system resources consumption. Three redundant databases are running in three distributed embedded computers, and the UDP protocol is used to implement their synchronization and the data transmission from low level computers to them. This system architecture is able to enhance the database reliability and the overall system performance. Experimental testing results show that the developed redundant databases structure running in three embedded computer called operator stations is efficient and reliable to manage real-time data, and it can meet its function and performance requirements in small nuclear power plant.

Abstract:
Abstract This contribution reports on the development of Performance Digital Twin for industrial Small Gas Turbines. The objective of this study was the development of automation systems with control and monitoring functionalities, capable of addressing the requirements of future gas turbine plants for increased availability and reliability by use of Digital Twin technology. The project explored development of Performance Digital Twin based on Real-Time Embedded computing, which can be leveraged with Internet-of-Things (IOT) Cloud Platforms. The proposed solution was provided in a form of modular software for a range of hardware platforms, with corresponding functionalities to support advanced control, monitoring, tracking and diagnostics strategies. The developed Digital Twin was designed to be used in offline mode to assist the software commissioning process and in on-line mode to enable early detection of degradation and fault modes typical for gas path components. The Performance Digital Twin is based on a dynamic gas turbine model which was augmented with a Kalman tuner to enable performance tracking of physical assets. To support heterogeneity of gas turbine Distributed Control Systems (DCS), this project explored deployment of Digital Twin on multiple platforms. In the paper, we discuss model-based design techniques and tools specific for continuous, discrete and hybrid systems. The hybrid solution was deployed on PC-based platform and integrated with engine Distributed Control System in the field. Monitoring of gas turbine Performance Digital Twin functionalities has been established via Remote Monitoring System (STA-RMS). Assessment of deployed solution has been carried out and we present results from the field trial in this paper. The discrete solution was deployed on a range of Programable Logical Controller (PLC) platforms and has been tested by integrating Digital Twin in virtual engine Distributed Control System network. The Performance Digital Twin was embedded in Single Master PLC and Master-Slave PLC configurations, and we present results from the system testing using virtual gas turbine assets. The IoT Platform MindSphere was integrated within virtual engine network, and in this contribution, we explore expansion of the developed system with Cloud based applications and services.
