Demonstrating Real-Time Reconfiguration of Video Sensing Service-Oriented Applications

Growing interest in facilitating the construction of real-time applications from reusable components and their run-time reconfiguration is motivating the use of Service-Oriented approaches in the real-time domain. The iLAND ARTEMIS project researches such direction, aiming at providing an SO middleware that supports dynamic reconfiguration, namely addition and removal of services and QoS-based hot swap of service implementations. In this demonstration we exhibit a few simple video sensing applications that illustrate the desired prompt reconfigurations without significant glitches and within bounded time as required for real-time applications.
