Embedded Instrumentation Systems Architecture

Abstract

The objective of the Embedded Instrumentation Systems Architecture (EISA) initiative is to develop a comprehensive methodology for large-scale, nonintrusive, flexible data collection for test and evaluation needs. These needs include system-level developmental, operational, and continuous test and evaluation. The architecture can also be useful in monitoring, diagnostics, and health management, as well as protection in control applications. This article explains how EISA offers a metadata-driven methodology for heterogeneous data collection and aggregation in a synchronized and time-correlated fashion. It also describes how EISA supports real-time instrumentation and sensor management as well as virtual (synthetic) instrumentation. Finally, it addresses EISA scalability to System of Systems and/or Family of Systems embedded instrumentation applications.
