Abstract: Systems and methods for converting Software Communications Architecture (SCA) XML files into optimized SCA descriptors usable by a SCA Core Framework (CF) for application deployment and installation. The optimized SCA descriptors include sufficient run-time information so as to be directly usable by the CF for deploying and executing waveform applications without copying to different structures. The optimized SCA structures include component instantiation direct indexes into a sequence of partitions. The optimized SCA descriptors can be Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) structures provided in Common Data Representation (CDR) format.

Abstract: A preparsers tool is provided for converting Software Communications Architecture (SCA) Extensible Markup Language (XML) files into Common Object Request Broker Architect (CORBA) structures usable by a Software Communications Architect (SCA) Core Framework (CF). The preparsers tool retrieves a set of target environment implementation definitions (TEID) that define at least one characteristic of a target environment to which a CORBA Common Data Representation (CDR) file is provided. For each component in the target environment, one or more dependencies are merged into an implementation device dependencies list that comprises visible device dependencies and external device dependencies. The parsed set of XML files is converted into a CORBA structure type, the conversion based at least in part on the TEID, such that the conversion of the parsed set of XML files results in a CORBA structure having a type and precedence order that is correct for the target environment.

Abstract: A preparser tool is provided for converting Software Communications Architecture (SCA) Extensible Markup Language (XML) files into Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) structures usable by an SCA Core Framework (CF) and comprises a CF_PreParsers interface definition language (IDL) and a first preparser. The CF_IDL is configured to be in operable communication with an XML parser and with at least a first type of preparser. The first type of preparser is in operable communication with the CF_PreParsers IDL, is associated with a first type of descriptor for the CF, and is configured to call the XML parser to request parsing of a first set of first XML files, convert the first parsed set of first XML files into a first CORBA structure type, encode the first CORBA structure type into a first CORBA Common Data Representation (CDR) file; and write the first CORBA CDR file as a first octet sequence.

Abstract: A preparsers tool is provided for converting SCA XML files into CORBA structures usable by an SCA Core Framework (CF). The preparsers tool retrieves a set of target environment implementation definitions (TEID) that define at least one characteristic of a target environment to which a CORBA CDR file is provided. For each component in the target environment, at least one of the component instantiation implementation software device dependencies, usesdevice dependencies, and deployment dependencies, are merged together into an implementation device dependencies list having a first part comprising visible device dependencies and a second part comprising external device dependencies. The parsed set of XML files is converted into a CORBA structure type, the conversion based at least in part on the TEID, such that the conversion of the parsed set of XML files results in a CORBA structure having a type and precedence order that is correct for the target environment.

Abstract: The invention provides a preparsers tool for converting SCA XML files into CORBA structures usable by a Software Communication Architecture (SCA) Core Framework (CF) and comprises a core framework (CF)_PreParsers interface definition language (IDL) and a first preparser. The CF_IDL is configured to be in operable communication with an XML parser and with at least a first type of preparser. The first type of preparser is in operable communication with the CF_PreParsers IDL, is associated with a first type of descriptor for the CF, and is configured to call the XML parser to request parsing of a first set of first XML files, convert the first parsed set of first XML files into a first CORBA structure type, encode the first CORBA structure type into a first CORBA Common Data Representation (CDR) file; and write the first CORBA CDR to file as a first octet sequence.
