Features of OdysseusNet
OdysseusNet as a feature is the sum of multiple smaller OdysseusNet features. Each of them encapsulates specific functions, possibilities and interfaces, all useful for "typical" Odysseus-Users and Odysseus-Developers. A (not complete) list of features is as follows:
For users of Odysseus, OdysseusNet provides the following features:
- Integration of OdysseusNet in OdysseusStudio
- Managing other OdysseusNodes remotely (see NodeView)
- Configuration of each OdysseusNode due to a separate configuration file (see Configuration)
- Controlling OdysseusNodes with the OSGi-Console (see Console Commands)
- View the connection quality with PingMaps
- Distributing data source definitions into the network
- Distributing queries into the network of OdysseusNodes
For developers, OdysseusNet provides additional in-depth features (e.g., interfaces) to make it possible to alter and/or extend OdysseusNet:
- Interfaces for accessing remote OdysseusNodes
- Interfaces for easy communication with remote OdysseusNodes
- Logging of remote nodes
- Deeper control of configuration settings
- Controlling the network structure. This contains interfaces for discovery of OdysseusNodes and selection-strategies for connections that need to be established.
- Easy methods to distribute static data across the network
- Interfaces to add strategies for query distribution
- Interfaces to access information of current resource usages (processor, memory, etc.) of remote OdysseusNodes
