Models and languages for the interoperability of smart instruments

This paper presents the functions of intelligent instruments in the frame of real-time process operating systems, and shows that they have the same functional structure as the system itself. Thus smart-instruments-based distributed architectures can be built, provided that they present interoperabil...

Description
Summary:This paper presents the functions of intelligent instruments in the frame of real-time process operating systems, and shows that they have the same functional structure as the system itself. Thus smart-instruments-based distributed architectures can be built, provided that they present interoperability properties. Some working groups and projects whose aim is to define interoperable field instruments are presented. The last part of the paper develops a smart-instrument generic description.
