A real-time control system methodology for developing intelligent control systems

摘要

This paper presents an approach to a Real-Time Control System (RCS) systems engineering methodology which complies with the RCS Reference Model Architecture developed by Robot Systems Division researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).We also offer software implementation examples within the context of this RCS Methodology approach.NIST has been conducting research in the area of hierarchical real-time control systems for automation and robotics, for more than a decade.NIST researchers, working in the Automated Manufacturing Research Facility (AMRF) and on a number of other agency projects, have defined a theoretical reference model architecture as a first step in establishing a framework for standards development.This paper represents a second step toward that goal.
