| Short Description | ABI SenseIQ provides a unified management system, contributing to the secure and safe integration of a cooperative embedded system in a system-of-systems. |
| Require | Definition of the data format and of the protocol for the components in the system. |
| Provide | A unified management system for heterogeneous components. |
| Input | ABI SenseIQ processes inputs from heterogenous components in the system (e.g., sensors, cameras, drones, rovers, hardware accelerators). |
| Output | ABI SenseIQ: - visualized data on the web dashboard, for the operator to check and manage the system; - provides output to heterogenous components in the system (smart cameras, PLC, hardware accelerator and other actuators and sensors) |

General description
ABI SenseIQ is based on the Abinsula Yocto-based Embedded Linux Distribution (Ability). It includes an edge part with light computation capabilities and a cloud part interfaces with an operator. It transparently manages communication among the elements of the system and the operator. It supports different communication protocols (REST, MQTT, UDP, TCP, GRAPHQL, etc.) and accepts inputs described with custom-interfaces (data-interchange format). For each interface, a data converter module normalises the data interface, producing a standard JSON that can be sent to the cloud gateway. Main characteristics are: No vendor lock-in; No application specific; Generic and modular component; Main communication protocols; User-defined interfaces.
MYRTUS Extension/Contribution
The strategy behind the evolution of the ABI SenseIQ is based on two pillars: extend the communication capabilities (integrating new protocols) and improve the computation power (integrating a decision node in the gateway to trigger system reconfiguration and supporting the computation near sensor). We will extend its edge processing capabilities to support decision making and trigger (sub)-system reconfiguration.
Plans and Expectation
Communication
Plans and Expectation
Assessment Plan@M18:
Preliminary integration with edge devices, and verification of proper bidirectional communication.
Expected Results@M18:
Integration: Boolean
Downlink communication: correctness of the message received.
Uplink communication: correctness of device (re-)configuration
Assessment Plan@M18:
Simulations to verify flexibility with respect to the different interfaces and protocols required by other MYRTUS devices. Metrics are N of different communication protocols supported; N of different user-defined interfaces supported
Expected Results@M18:
N of different communication protocols supported: Baseline = 6; Goal >= 6.*
N of different user-defined interfaces supported: Baseline = 5; Goal >= 5.
