Abstract

The growing prevalence of distributed real-time embedded systems in applications such as emergency response, disaster recovery, and ambient assisted living necessitates the use of protocol frameworks to support quality of service requirements and respond to changing environment conditions at runtime. This paper presents a taxonomy that can be used to classify protocol frameworks. The taxonomy includes several features that are relevant for supporting adaptive DRE systems. A brief overview of existing work in the area of protocol frameworks and related network management is provided, and this work is evaluated and classified in terms of the taxonomy. Finally, the paper analyzes the current work on protocol frameworks within the context of adaptive publish/subscribe distributed real-time embedded systems and highlights the gaps found. Our results show that adaptive protocol frameworks are (1) still an area largely addressed by research without standardization and (2) deficient in requirements for adaptive publish/subscribe DRE systems.
