IM - Integration Modulule for Heterogeneous Devices

In this work, an integration architecture for highly heterogeneous ecosystems is developed, which is integrated in a device called IM (integration module). IM acts as a management and abstraction layer along with the communication and data layer of a service-oriented middleware. The IM at command events in real time by programming groups of threads with the objective to control the abstraction of the heterogeneity of data and the communication protocols of sensors and actuators within a Cyber-Physical System. Part of the IM implementation is presented, and data throughput experiments are performed to measure its performance.
