Module Interconnection Frameworks for a Real-Time Spreadsheet

Abstract

RTware is working on a proposal for an SBIR Phase II software research and development project for distributed control systems (DCS) using Module Interconnect Frameworks (MIF). SBIR Phase I work includes research into the feasibility, design and benefits of such a system, resulting in a detailed Phase II proposal. The proposed software package will be based on RTware's ControlCalc real-time spreadsheet control system and the Polylith MIF system from the University of Maryland. The prior progress reports have identified the main outlines of the proposed Distributed Control System (DCS), and described key benefits to the Department of Defense. The second progress report divided the system into two major phases, DCS-I and DCS-II. DCS-I provided external access to module services defined by a ControlCalc application. A detailed specification of DCS-I was provided in the July progress report. DCS-II will allow the largely transparent distribution of compiled ControlCalc code segments across remote, and heterogeneous, platforms.
