Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and architectures for a neutral input/output (NIO) platform that includes a core that supports one or more services. The core may be thought of as an application engine that runs task specific applications called services. The services are constructed using defined templates that are recognized by the core, although the templates can be customized. The core is designed to manage and support the services, and the services in turn manage blocks that provide processing functionality to their respective service. Due to the structure and flexibility provided by the NIO platform's core, services, and blocks, the platform can be configured to asynchronously process any input signals from one or more sources and produce output signals in real time.
