TITLE:: Instrumented Sensor Systems - Practice
AUTHOR:: Dekhil, Mohamed
AUTHOR:: Henderson, Thomas C.
ABSTRACT:: In previous work, we introduced the notion of Instrumented Logical
Sensor Systems (ILSS) that are derived from a modeling and design
methodology~\cite{dekhil:96a,dekhil:97b}. The instrumented sensor approach is
based on a sensori-computational model which defines the components of the
sensor system in terms of their functionality, accuracy, robustness and
efficiency. This approach provides a uniform specification language to define
sensor systems as a composition of smaller, predefined components. From a
software engineering standpoint, this addresses the issues of modularity,
reusability, and reliability for building complex multisensor systems. In this
report, we demonstrate the practicality of this approach and discuss several
design and implementation aspects in the context of mobile robot applications.
