Distributed Systems for Real Time Applications

In the digital era, data is one of the most important assets since it conceals valuable information. Developers of data-intensive systems have new challenges at each level of streaming, storing, and processing large quantities of data in a variety of forms and speeds. Obtaining useful information at the proper time and place is also crucial. Since the value of information is inversely proportional to time, real-time data processing and analytics are receiving more attention. Due to the importance of real-time data processing and analytics, this study focuses on real-time data processing concepts and terminology, popular technologies used in real-time data processing and analytics, popular NoSQL storage technologies used in real-time data processing, and real-time data processing application areas. The purpose of this paper is to provide researchers of real-time analysis and developers of data-intensive systems with a comparative perspective on real-time data processing by highlighting the key characteristics of real-time data processing technologies, NoSQL storage technologies, their application domains, and selected examples from previous studies.

Multimicroprocessor systems for real time applications: (eds) Gianni Conte and Dante del Corso, D Reidel Publishing Company (1985) 299 pp

Historically, image systems for real time applications have been classified as either point trackers (including edge trackers and centroid trackers) or trackers. Point trackers track the location of features detected by feature extraction techniques while the trackers track the location of the best match between the scene and a reference image. The term correlation tracking as used here ecompasses both maximum cross and minimum distance similarity detection techniques.

Recent advances in BazookaSPECT: Real-time data processing and the development of a gamma-ray microscope

Real-time big data processing is a crucial need of meteorology today. As a matter of fact, the weather is a determining factor in decision making in different areas such as air or sea transport, so acquiring knowledge of the environment in real time is a consequential question. A promising approach for big data treatment in real time is based on the concept of complex events processing CEP). The CEP aims to identify significant events in a cloud of simple and individually detectable events in real time. The meteorological variables, constituting simple event's spaces, offer significant flow of data to be processed using CEP technologies. This real-time data processing is done by phase of their integration with weather systems. This paper discusses the big data's meteorological aspects, and shows the architectural model for integration of weather data and its processing in real time.

Purpose: The study sought to explore the impact of edge computing on real-time data processing. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the impact of edge computing on real-time data processing. Preliminary empirical review reveled that edge computing significantly reduced latency and enhanced efficiency in real-time data processing across various industries by bringing computational resources closer to data sources. It highlighted the technology's ability to handle large volumes of IoT-generated data, improve security by localizing data processing, and drive innovation and economic growth through new applications and services. Edge computing's decentralized approach proved essential for reliable and robust data handling, particularly in critical sectors like healthcare and finance, ultimately solidifying its importance in the digital transformation landscape. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Diffusion of Innovations Theory, Resource-Based View (RBV) and Sociotechnical Systems Theory may be used to anchor future studies on edge computing on real-time data processing. The study recommended expanding theoretical frameworks to include the unique aspects of edge computing, investing in robust edge infrastructure, and developing standardized protocols and best practices. It emphasized the need for government incentives and supportive regulatory frameworks to promote adoption, and suggested that academic institutions incorporate edge computing into curricula. Additionally, the study called for ongoing research to address emerging challenges and opportunities, ensuring continuous advancement and effective implementation of edge computing technologies.

In light of the prevailing approach in which data from side-scan sonar (SSS) from Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are primarily processed and visualized post mission, failing to meet the requirements in terms of timeliness for on-the-fly image acquisition, this paper introduces a novel method for real-time processing and superior imaging of navigation strip data from SSS aboard AUVs. Initially, a comprehensive description of the real-time processing sequence is provided, encompassing the integration of multi-source navigation data using Kalman filtering, and high-pass filtering of attitude and heading data to exclude anomalies, as well as the use of bidirectional filtering techniques within and between pings, ensuring real-time quality control of raw data. In addition, this study adopts the semantic segmentation Unet network for automatic real-time tracking of seafloor lines, devises a real-time correction strategy for radial distortion based on historical echo data, and utilizes the alternating direction multiplier method for real-time noise reduction in strip images. With the combined application of these four pivotal techniques, we adeptly address the primary challenges in real-time navigation data processing. In conclusion, marine tests conducted in Bohai Bay substantiate the efficacy of the methodologies delineated in this research, offering a fresh paradigm for real-time processing and superior visualization of SSS navigation strip data on AUVs.

Major advances in telecommunications and the Internet of Things have given rise to numerous smart city scenarios in which smart services are provided. What was once a dream for the future has now become reality. However, the need to provide these smart services quickly, efficiently, in an interoperable manner and in real time is a cutting-edge technological challenge. Although some software architectures offer solutions in this area, these are often limited in terms of reusability and maintenance by independent modules —involving the need for system downtime when maintaining or evolving, as well as by a lack of standards in terms of the interoperability of their interface. In this paper, we propose a fully reusable microservice architecture, standardized through the use of the Web of things paradigm, and with high efficiency in real-time data processing, supported by complex event processing techniques. To illustrate the proposal, we present a fully reusable implementation of the microservices necessary for the deployment of the architecture in the field of air quality monitoring and alerting in smart ports. The performance evaluation of this architecture shows excellent results.

This paper present a new displacement reconstruction scheme using only acceleration measured from a structure. For a given set of acceleration data, the reconstruction problem is formulated as a boundary value problem in which the acceleration is approximated by the second-order central finite difference of displacement. The displacement is reconstructed by minimizing the least squared errors between measured and approximated acceleration within a finite time interval referred to as a time window. An overlapping time window is introduced to improve the accuracy of the reconstructed displacement. The displacement reconstruction problem becomes ill-posed because the boundary conditions at both ends of each time window are not known <i>a priori</i>. Furthermore, random noise in measured acceleration causes physically inadmissible errors in the reconstructed displacement similar to the conventional time integration schemes. A Tikhonov regularization scheme is adopted to alleviate the ill-posedness. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated through two laboratory experiments.

A real-time operating system (RTOS) provides a platform for the design and implementation of a wide range of applications in real-time systems, embedded systems, and mission-critical systems. This paper presents a formal design model for a general RTOS known as RTOS+ that enables a specific target RTOS to be rigorously and efficiently derived in real-world applications. The methodology of a denotational mathematics, Real-Time Process Algebra (RTPA), is described for formally modeling and refining architectures, static behaviors, and dynamic behaviors of RTOS+. The conceptual model of the RTOS+ system is introduced as the initial requirements for the system. The architectural model of RTOS+ is created using RTPA architectural modeling methodologies and refined by a set of Unified Data Models (UDMs). The static behaviors of RTOS+ are specified and refined by a set of Unified Process Models (UPMs). The dynamic behaviors of the RTOS+ system are specified and refined by the real-time process scheduler and system dispatcher. This work is presented in two papers; the conceptual and architectural models of RTOS+ is described in this paper, while the static and dynamic behavioral models of RTOS+ will be elaborated in a forthcoming paper.
