opencommunication

A communication framework based on the JVM and the Lisp dialect clojure to foster reuse utilizing multilanguage software product lines and the methodology of knowledge-based systems.

Especially two issues are addressed:

1) give the user a better reuse of software artifacts in terms of a mutiparadigm and multilanguage software product line for industrial communication purposes, SCADA and remote services. This is done by utilizing a software product line, a knowledge-based system and use of S-expressions of Lisp, so anybody can add new languages of choice and reuse artifcats written in these languages. Also native code is supported this way, using LLVM.

2) Give the user a real generic solution at hand to manage the maintenance of industrial automation software. Especially these means a generic solution to dynamic reconfiguration demands. This is solved by the true generic character of Lisp and incorporating well-know statecharts of a HSM.
