GUI Approach in Programming Real Time Distributed Systems and Associated Graphical Interfaces

Students: Anish Kadavil, Seok-Joong Kang

Advisor: Kane K. H. Kim

Abstract: In order to realize major reduction of the complexity in programming of real-time distributed computing applications, new-generation methods and tools need to be established in sound forms enabling abstract styles of programming. Most of the real time distributed computing applications have an associated graphical interface and the programmers spend lot of time in programming the application and then the associated graphical interface wasting valuable time and resources.

An advanced high-level approach for programming of real-time distributed computing applications, the TMO (Time-triggered Message-triggered Object) programming and specification scheme, has been enabled without creating any new language or compiler. A GUI based programming approach has been proposed, enabling the top down interactive design of TMO network structures and their graphical properties. The supporting tool called the 'Visual Studio for TMO' (ViSTMO) consists of a GUI part for interactive design automated generation of C++ TMO code-frameworks, OpenGL code framework for the associated graphical interface and a dynamic display visualization mechanism.

Bios: Anish Kadavil is currently conducting his master's research under the supervision of Professor Kane Kim. He is expected to receive his master's Degree in August 2003. He holds a bachelor's degree in Electrical engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India. His current research interests include real time distributed systems and intelligent graphical user interfaces.

Seok Joong Kang is expected to receive his Ph.D. in Electrical engineering and computer science in June 2003. He had been a senior researcher in Institute for Defense Information Systems, Seoul, Republic of Korea from 1993-1998. His research interests lie in the area of real time distributed programming approaches and realization aspects.
