pSHIELD<strong>System</strong> <strong>Architecture</strong> <strong>Design</strong>PU2. The Innovative SPD functionalities (e.g. smart SPD driven transmission and Cryptographicalgorithms)3. The semantic knowledge models4. The core SPD services5. The control algorithms based on Hybrid Automata theory6.6 InterfacesThis section attempts to register and to categorize the interfaces which occur in a pSHIELD system. Theterm is quite generic, but the importance is great, since the interfaces are used to determine theinterconnectivity internally, as well as the presentation and application capabilities of a platform.Consequently, the categories indicated hereafter may include overlapping elements, considering the factthat the definition is dependent on the different level of approach regarding “interface”.6.6.1 InternalThe interfaces between the four pSHIELD layers are registered below:Overlay interfacesInterfaces used for the interconnection with Middleware layer:1. Sensed Metadata (transferring information to Overlay)2. Elaborated Metadata (transferring information to Middleware)3. Rules for discovery and composition (transferring information to Middleware)Middleware interfacesApart from the interfaces with Overlay (mentioned just above), two interfaces handle the SPD related dataexchange with the underlying layers:1. Heterogeneous SPD relevant parameters and measurements (from Node and Network toMiddleware)2. Commands for composition and configuration of SPD modules (from Middleware to Node andNetwork)Network interfacesThe family of network interfaces is constituted from those registered in § 6.2.5 (NS, pS-NS), along with allthe devices or parts of equipment serving as demarcation points in telecommunication networks lying inevery pSHIELD implementation (Ethernet, Infiniband interface in Power Node etc.)Node interfacesA pSHIELD node exchanges data, measures parameters and receives commands through network,middleware and overlay interfaces, which ensure the communication with the respective incumbentlayers.PUD2.3.2Issue 5 Page 117 of 122
