Abstract: Embodiments provide an architecture to enable composite, autonomous composite applications and services to be built and deployed. In addition, an infrastructure is provided to enable communication between and amongst distributed applications and services. In one or more embodiments, an example architecture includes or otherwise leverages five logical modules including connectivity services, process services, identity services, lifecycle services and tools.

Abstract: A testing apparatus and method consisting of multiple measurement modules having one or more circuit assembly boards, two data/power connectors, and a target connector. Signal data is accessed from 1-128 target signal sources and sampled through two separate analog to digital channels. An on-board microcontroller controls signal selection and data sampling rates and also provides for transfer of recorded data over a USB bus to a host computing device. Using a proper testing application loaded onto the host computing device, each module can be commanded to access and store representative data from a number of signal sources at each target system. Each module is connected to other modules and a host computing device to create a complete self-powered test access environment. The interconnectivity of the system makes diagnosing electronic component failures in an armored vehicle, such as a tank, much easier than prior manual fault isolation procedures.
