The MASC Composable Computing Infrastructure for Intelligent Environments

Abstract

We present a system architecture and framework for creating rapidly deployable intelligent environments. The rapid pace of innovation of computer hardware and intelligent systems software leads to uncertainty that deters manufacturers from adopting a single processor, network, or software environment for placement into their products. The MASC Composable Computing infrastructure addresses these issues by providing an upgradable hardware and software infrastructure that supports rapid development and deployment, as well as simple and economical maintenance of intelligent environmental systems.
