Abstract

본 발명은 이형 시스템들간의 상호 협력작업을 위한 장치 및 그 방법에 관한 것으로, 자신의 이름과 자신이 제공할 수 있는 기능 또는 정보의 이름을 메타지식으로 표현하는 이형의 시스템들과; 상기 이형 시스템의 상기 메타지식 정보를 참조하여 상기 이형 시스템들간의 협동작업을 총괄하는 조정 시스템과; 상기 시스템간에 상기 메타지식 정보가 포장층, 프로토콜층, 내용층으로 구성되는 교류언어에 포장되어 메시지전송이 이루어지도록 상기 시스템들을 연결해 주는 통신망과; 상기 통신망과 상기 시스템간에 위치하여 외부로부터의 메시지를 읽거나 메시지를 외부로 보내는 기능을 수생하는 제어유닛과 각 시스템의 고유한 기능에 대한 정보를 저장하는 메타유닛으로 구성된 통합모듈을 포함하여 이루어지고, 독립적으로 수행되는 이형의 시스템들이라도 서로의 기능과 정보를 공유하도록 함으로써 단독으로는 어려운 기능을 수행할 수 있으며, 또한 기존의 시스템뿐만 아니라 앞으로 만들어지는 많은 시스템들도 이러한 방식에 입각하여 만들어진다면 다른 시스템의 기능과 정보를 공유할 수 있게 되어 가진 것 이상의 기능을 발휘할 수 있는 효과가 있다.The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for mutual cooperation between heterogeneous systems, comprising: heterogeneous systems expressing their names and names of functions or information that they can provide; A coordination system for coordinating the cooperative work between the release systems with reference to the meta-information information of the release system; A communication network connecting the systems such that the meta-information information is packaged in an exchange language composed of a packaging layer, a protocol layer, and a content layer between the systems to transmit a message; Located between the communication network and the system comprises a control module consisting of a control unit for generating a function for reading a message from the outside or sending a message to the outside and a meta unit for storing information about the unique function of each system and For example, even heterogeneous systems that can be performed independently can share their functions and information, and can perform difficult functions on their own. Being able to share information with other systems has the effect of exerting more than you have.

Claims

Heterogeneous systems that meta-express both their name and the name of the function or information it can provide; A coordination system for coordinating the cooperative work between the release systems with reference to the meta knowledge information of the release system; A communication network connecting the systems such that the meta-information information is packaged in an exchange language composed of a packaging layer, a protocol layer, and a content layer between the systems to transmit a message; And an integrated module comprising a control unit located between the communication network and the system to perform a function of reading a message from the outside or sending a message to the outside, and a meta unit storing information on a unique function of each system. Apparatus for cooperating between different release systems.

A first step in which the release systems request a connection to the coordination system through its integrated module; When a connection permission signal is generated from the coordination system according to the connection request of the first step, the heterogeneous system transmits its name and the name of a function or information that can be provided to the coordination system using the integrated module. A second step; If one system requests the coordination system to cooperate with another system, the coordination system may include a third step of selecting the heterogeneous systems by referring to the meta-information information transmitted from the second step; Mutual cooperation between the release systems, wherein the release system selected in the third step is performed according to the requirements of the one release system; How to work.
