Framework Overview

• Here, include the full burglar alarm graph• Talk about this representation of information flow• “And, when deploying this graph, we’ll actually deploy it as three

graphs across three different devices”• Show the boundaries

Shaping the NetworkGraph implementation should use the same concepts as graph designBusiness logic should be decoupled from connection logicThis computational graph abstraction applies to any level of the systemNew devices must be able to connect to the network at runtime

Quick Prototype 0 example: show the components in the Photo Collector device, the edge configuration for the application, and the resulting graph that the framework produces

Components

We support three types of components:◦ Processors: an atomic unit of C# code◦ Subgraphs: a fully encapsulated graph, embedded as a node in a larger graph◦ Pools: a collection of same-type components, whose members can change at runtime

Behavior Output channelsInput channels

Processors A processor is a C# class.

◦ For each input channel, it provides a callback function to the framework to receive incoming messages◦ For each output channel, it requests a callback function from the framework to send output messages◦ It provides start and stop methods, to manage any services it encapsulates

For example, consider the processor that encapsulates the connection with the Kinect.◦ On start, the processor uses the Kinect SDK to start a connection.◦ When it receives a photo request, the processor uses the Kinect’s Camera API to take a photo, and

outputs the resulting photo.◦ On stop, the processor uses the Kinect SDK to stop the connection.

Subgraphs So I’m still not entirely sure how to demonstrate this, but one option might be:

◦ Show the photo collector device in its entirety◦ Show that the Kinect-Wunderbar-BusinessLogic section can be encapsulated as a subgraph that acts as a

camera◦ Show the photo collector device with just this opaque camera component and its connection with the

monitor

Pools

Use the CM as a pool example here plz
