Context View

The middleware interacts with the following components:

Async / RTOS

Schedules the cyclic runnables of the middleware.

BSW Integration

Provides a mutex API, logging, and timing services.

Deployment model

The model defines application interfaces transferred over the middleware. It also provides deployment information that allocates service instances to middleware instances.

Shared Memory Queue

Middleware instances communicate with each other over shared memory. This is the default path for inter-process communication.

User Application

The user application uses the middleware to communicate with other service providers and consumers. It can be a service consumer or a service provider.

The context is also depicted in the diagram below. If unlabelled, the arrows are usage relationships.
