Dynamic management policies embedded digital control systems

Abstract

In this paper we present a model that enables us to separate the control rules from the embedded systems. This allows for better adaptation to changing user needs, and better use of data generated in the control devices, since it facilitates interoperability with other enterprise systems. By separating the control of the devices, the proposed model provides a broad longevity to the components of digital systems that implement it, provides greater flexibility to adapt the response of the devices with changing administrative interests, and promises a decrease in costs maintenance, since it reduces the need to modify the software embedded in the control device. To illustrate the use of this model, we implemented a monitoring application using a software architecture of 3 layers.
