Mult-I/O - a middleware multi input and output for access devices: a case study applied the biomedical devices

Area of Science:

• Computer Science
• Software Engineering
• Embedded Systems

Background:

• Hardware devices exhibit significant architectural diversity.
• Numerous communication protocols create integration challenges.
• System implementation is hindered by heterogeneous device access.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a middleware solution for transparent hardware device access.
• To abstract the complexities of data reading and writing mechanisms.
• To enhance system development productivity.

Main Methods:

• Development of a middleware named 'mult input and output for access the devices'.
• Implementation of abstraction layers for hardware data interaction.
• Focus on simplifying developer interaction with diverse hardware.

Main Results:

• The middleware successfully abstracts diverse hardware and protocols.
• Developers can focus on functional requirements, not low-level details.
• Increased system productivity is achieved through simplified device access.

Conclusions:

• The proposed middleware effectively addresses the challenge of diverse hardware access.
• Abstraction of device mechanisms leads to significant productivity gains.
• This approach facilitates the development of integrated systems with heterogeneous devices.
