Definitions

  • the invention relates to a distributed architecture for an edge network device or a gateway device for a data network and more specifically to an architecture for an Internet of Things (loT) gateway device, and a method to process data at a semantic level in the same context and environment as the edge network device, including the deployment, the configuration and the maintenance of the data network.
  • LoT Internet of Things
  • the invention provides a method of forming a logically distributed data processing entity in a data network, comprising: providing a plurality of edge network devices according to the first main aspect of the invention and a network level entity; arranging said network level entity to: configure each of the plurality of edge network devices; arrange said plurality of edge network devices into a single logical entity whereby said devices share their agents and rules-based logic; and logically group the agents of the plurality of edge networks devices to form said logically distributed data processing entity.
  • the invention provides a computer readable medium storing machine readable instructions executable by a processor of an edge network device for implementing the steps of the fifth main aspect of the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a conventional loT gateway device network connection arrangement
  • Figure 15 shows the main process steps in the deployment of an agent
  • any element expressed as a means for performing a specified function is intended to encompass any way of performing that function including, for example, a) a combination of circuit elements that performs that function or b) software in any form, including, therefore, firmware, microcode or the like, combined with appropriate circuitry for executing that software to perform the function.
  • the invention as defined by such claims resides in the fact that the functionalities provided by the various recited means are combined and brought together in the manner which the claims call for. It is thus regarded that any means that can provide those functionalities are equivalent to those shown herein.
  • the gateway devices 40 of the invention can operate at the edge of a data network without the necessity of the network having a network level processing entity such as a cloud processing entity. However, in some embodiments, the gateways devices operate with a cloud processing entity 70 as shown in Fig. 5.
  • Every gateway device 40 hosts all of the user space components as described in Figure 4 and Table 2.
  • the architecture of the gateway device 40 extends beyond the physical constraints of the device itself, because each gateway device 40: abstracts it's physical (hardware) services; is self-aware due to the SSM; uses the distributed data service (DDS) middleware for real-time distribution of capabilities and services; and provides a OS level command interpreter.
  • DDS distributed data service
  • each edge network device 40 is configured to combine with the OS level virtualization environments 46 of the one or more other similarly configured gateway devices 40 to provide a virtual global user space for the swarm 56.
  • the CEP may publish the results of the matching queries back onto the DDS, which makes these results available to all members of the swarm 56. As the DDS and the OS command interpreter operate across the entire swarm 56, so too does the CEP operate across the entire swarm 56.
  • the SLN representing the Gateway by the provided ontology is enriched with the new SLN representing the species: configurations, dependencies, constraints, size, data format, etc. are added and new links created.
  • a "join" operation is performed between the two SLNs. This could happen also dynamically: provided some security constraints, a common standard taxonomy to identify basic entities (i.e. the Semantic Sensor Network Ontology) and a common protocol, e.g. provide a Standard Sensor Agent, this join operation could happen on the fly.
  • Sensor Agents are added by controlled deployment process. Sensor Agents are configured by a configuration input; every time a Sensor Agent comes up, it looks for its configuration in his location.
  • a Configuration Agent is always looking for "configuration data" on the middleware. Once available, it gets data from there, drops the data in the Sensor Agent location ,and asks the Killer Agent to kill the Sensor Agent. The KeepAlive Agent restarts then so that the Sensor Agent will get the new configuration.
  • This "rule” is reusable for all kinds of Agent and is type and location agnostic and totally decoupled (can be used across different cells and different devices providing the Agents involved).
  • Agents can look for configurations also on the middleware or on stdin: in this case they don't need to die in order to ingest the new configuration.
  • the gateway device may be configured via its local web-interface or serial command line interface (CLI).
  • CLI serial command line interface
  • the gateway device must have a physical RS485 serial port.
  • a logical serial device process will be provided on the gateway device's DDS middleware.
  • the modbus processes may be configured by a local configuration process (which will also be present on the DDS middleware).
  • the gateway device will have a semantic model (SM), which will include a model of the RS485 physical interface, the modbus process, and the meta-data to associate with any modbus data.
  • the CEP will be aware of the available services via the SM.
  • the CEP is subscribed to the data streams and the query.
  • the CEP publishes the match (i.e. the event) back onto the DDS Middleware, for the application to interpret and publish via a local interface.
  • the gateway device abstracts all its services and capabilities and publishes these on a data distribution service middleware bus which is logically available between and across all gateway devices on the swarm. This means that new gateway devices may be added to the swarm and that, when they are, they will self-publish their services and capabilities, and their services and capabilities may be immediately be usable within the context of the swarm from the virtual global user-space without requiring any replacements or programmed logic re-deployment.

  • Figure 17 shows a schematic of the deployment of an App into multiple gateways. It will be noted that steps 300 to 330 of Figure 17 share the same concept as steps 200 to 235 shown in respect of Figure 16, but in this case the semantic search has been extended to a bigger availability of Agents (functions), hardware, including outbound interfaces, power, said more knowledge.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif périphérique de réseau ou un dispositif de passerelle destiné à un réseau de données. Le dispositif comporte une mémoire conservant un logiciel de système d'exploitation (SE) et un processeur servant à exécuter le logiciel de SE pour mettre en place un environnement de virtualisation de niveau SE. L'environnement de virtualisation de niveau SE met en place un service de distribution de données pour partager des services et un interpréteur de commandes de SE interfacé avec le service de distribution de données pour permettre le partage de services sur le service de distribution de données. Un moteur de traitement d'événements reçoit des données en provenance du service de distribution de données et utilise un langage de requêtes pour apparier les données reçues avec une requête, puis publier les résultats d'éventuelles requêtes appariées sur le service de distribution de données. Le service de distribution de données est configuré pour partager des services dans le réseau de données avec un ou plusieurs autres dispositifs périphériques de réseau configurés de manière similaire et l'interpréteur de commandes de SE est configuré pour utiliser le service de distribution de données afin de transmettre une logique entre le dispositif périphérique de réseau et l'autre ou les autres dispositifs périphériques de réseau configurés de manière similaire.
