Decision Support System Architecture, Hardware, and Operating System Platforms

DSS (Decision Support System) / Sistem Pendukung Keputusan adalah sistem informasi berbasis komputer yang tujuan utamanya adalah menyediakan informasi yang bisa menjadi dasar untuk pengambilan keputusan. Seperti sebuah perangkat lunak komputer berada dalam suatu lingkungan terintegrasi antara perangkat keras dengan sistem operasinya. Begitu pula dalam perencanaan DSS, bagaimana membangun DSS yang dapat membantu pengambilan keputusan. Selain itu DSS memerlukan arsitektur komputer yang tepat dalam pengaplikasiannya, meliputi perangkat keras dengan sistem operasi yang mendukung, memilih kombinasi yang tepat dan, atau dengan kata lain, arsitektur komputer yang tepat dapat membuat DSS berjalan dengan efektif dan efisien dan demikian pula sebaliknya. &nbsp

A Communication System Architecture Based on Sharing Information to Integrate Components of Distributed Multi-Agent Systems within an IT GRC Platform

To build complete and complex distributed platform, researchers are used to applying standards that facilitate sharing information as well as distributed service-oriented architectures that provide reuse and interoperability by means of component integration. These concepts lead us to a communication system that will allow us to implement tools that give full support to the management of IT GRC processes, taking advantage of the synergy effect created by the integration of the different components. Thus, throughout this article we analyze the proposals from the most relevant consortia concerned with communication system standards. This analysis will demonstrate that the use of standardized middleware technologies can limit the reuse and interoperability. Then, we will show a proposal which tries to solve this shortfall, using a blackboard-based architecture for integrating and communicating heterogeneous distributed components within an IT GRC platform

RaPro: A Novel 5G Rapid Prototyping System Architecture

We propose a novel fifth-generation (5G) rapid prototyping (RaPro) system architecture by combining FPGA-privileged modules from a software defined radio (or FPGA-coprocessor) and high-level programming language for advanced algorithms from multi-core general purpose processors. The proposed system architecture exhibits excellent flexibility and scalability in the development of a 5G prototyping system. As a proof of concept, a multi-user full-dimension multiple-input and multiple-output system is established based on the proposed architecture. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed architecture in large-scale antenna and wideband communication systems.Comment: accepted by IEEE Wireless Communication Letter

Smart grid architecture for rural distribution networks: application to a Spanish pilot network

This paper presents a novel architecture for rural distribution grids. This architecture is designed to modernize traditional rural networks into new Smart Grid ones. The architecture tackles innovation actions on both the power plane and the management plane of the system. In the power plane, the architecture focuses on exploiting the synergies between telecommunications and innovative technologies based on power electronics managing low scale electrical storage. In the management plane, a decentralized management system is proposed based on the addition of two new agents assisting the typical Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system of distribution system operators. Altogether, the proposed architecture enables operators to use more effectively—in an automated and decentralized way—weak rural distribution systems, increasing the capability to integrate new distributed energy resources. This architecture is being implemented in a real Pilot Network located in Spain, in the frame of the European Smart Rural Grid project. The paper also includes a study case showing one of the potentialities of one of the principal technologies developed in the project and underpinning the realization of the new architecture: the so-called Intelligent Distribution Power Router.Postprint (published version

Deep Space Network information system architecture study

The purpose of this article is to describe an architecture for the Deep Space Network (DSN) information system in the years 2000-2010 and to provide guidelines for its evolution during the 1990s. The study scope is defined to be from the front-end areas at the antennas to the end users (spacecraft teams, principal investigators, archival storage systems, and non-NASA partners). The architectural vision provides guidance for major DSN implementation efforts during the next decade. A strong motivation for the study is an expected dramatic improvement in information-systems technologies, such as the following: computer processing, automation technology (including knowledge-based systems), networking and data transport, software and hardware engineering, and human-interface technology. The proposed Ground Information System has the following major features: unified architecture from the front-end area to the end user; open-systems standards to achieve interoperability; DSN production of level 0 data; delivery of level 0 data from the Deep Space Communications Complex, if desired; dedicated telemetry processors for each receiver; security against unauthorized access and errors; and highly automated monitor and control
