Abstract:
This paper describes the modeling proposal of a middleware for sensor networks in Cyber-Physical (CP) environments adopting the reuse of Designs Patterns, which must favor the coupling in the underlying layers of the middleware and facilitate the communication between components in the upper layers. Our main goal is to reach the robustness and flexibility requirements as a result of the high probability of heterogeneity and critical events in Cyber-Physical System (CPS). This modeling is presented for the treatment of events by the middleware, considering functional and non-functional spatiotemporal requirements, as well as the set of requirements common to the CPS. The structure of the middleware, the MVC design pattern and the events model proposed seek to favor the abstraction, processes treatment and events that result from the CPS heterogeneous environment. The result is a lower level of complexity in implementation, simplified control of events and levels control of coupling between the components of the proposed middleware.
