Abstract:

A low processing overhead resource manager for a control system uses the control system operating state as a proxy for processing resource capacity, making judgments about execution of asynchronous services based on empirically derived data linked to the states. The control system exists in one of a plurality of predefined operating states logically related to the real-time control of the equipment. A resource model provides predefined processing reserves as a function of operating state, which is based on the control variables representing inputs outputs to and from the equipment. A simple assessment of the operating state determines the process reserves for asynchronous non real-time services.

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for information management systems according to various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with a system interface to communicate with an external system, such as a weapon, and a network interface to communicate with a node connected to a network, such as the Global Information Grid. The information management system may further include a data processing system in communication with the system interface and the network interface to enable the external system to provide and consume services to and from a node connected to network.
