Abstract

There are many choices of structuring a test and evaluation system in the proving ground. We need systems that are connected and automated to integrate many different components and parts supplied by different manufacturers. To get a highly optimized system, we need a flexible framework enabling to plug/unplug components in a dynamic fashion, function-based components, and security considerations based on RBAC (role-based access control). OSGi (Open service Gateway initiative) is one solution for a flexible framework. We design the test and evaluation system architecture allowing hot-pluggable function components to be installed/managed and controlled by remote users based on role based access. This system has extensible and scalable characteristics using the OSGi-compatible framework, as well as distributed processing characteristics.
