METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RAPIDLY DEVELOPING AND DEPLOYING SENS0R-ENABLED SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS

摘要

A system for deploying component-based software systems (212) for the implementation of desired sensor data process flows makes use of a toolset of software components specially tailored for building sensor data process flows. In one or more embodiments, the system comprises a front-end application (202) operative to generate system specifications (210) from user input, each system specification (210) defining a desired component-based software system (212) of one or more sensor components and their corresponding configurations (50) in accordance with sensor component class definitions (e.g., the toolset) for a predefined set of sensor components tailored for building desired sensor data process flows. The system further includes a back-end application (204) operative to store the sensor component class definitions for use in instantiating sensor components as needed, receive system specifications (210), and dynamically build and run the corresponding desired component-based software systems (212) within a run-time environment (236) provided by the back-end application (204).
