Project: A software framework for distributed applications
This Masters project will contribute to the design of a software framework for distributed real-time applications. The framework will enable rapid application development, particularly in the security and manufacturing domains. Project tasks will include elements of system design, software development, software engineering and interfacing to external devices. Goals and activities will be aligned with at least one of four streams:
i) developing and refining the framework, including research into techniques for data flow, algorithm design, user and programmer interfaces, and communications;
ii) porting the system to a variety of platforms including Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, iOS and Android;
iii) adding a Python-based application-programmer interface; and
iv) designing a domain-specific application. Prior knowledge of C++ programming and the Linux operating system will be an advantage.
The project will be based at CSIRO Manufacturing in Clayton.
