Definition of the IPTES Architecture

This document presents the high level structure of the architecture to support the IPTES methods and tools. After a rationale of the layered concepts used here, it describes the different functionality offered at every level. Finally the document describes in more detail the Real Time Object Communication Subsystem in connection with [Puente&91]. IPTES-UPM-1-V2.3 2 Definition of the IPTES Architecture 1 Introduction The activities in the IPTES project range from the theoretical aspects to the design of different real-time systems to evaluate the incremental prototyping approach from an industrial perspective. To support this approach, different tools will be designed and interconnected under a common prototyping environment. The design of the environment implies we must be sure about the functionality that should be provided; then, two prototypes of the environment (i.e., the tools and interconnection platform) will be designed. The feedback from the use of the prototype will ..
