N2 - We seek to build CIS research systems within a flexible, open architecture. In this paper, we outline our solutions to the problems of system design, construction, and integration in this environment: building distributed, modular systems for sensing, control, and processing. Based on our experience building these systems, we utilize distributed network architectures, modular software components, and intelligent object distribution to maximize flexibility while complying with the particular needs and interfaces of specific components. While a work in progress, these approaches have been integrated into several systems in development and have demonstrated significant utility, based on construction time and system flexibility. This paper will discuss the first two aspects: modular software and basic network architectures, while intelligent object distribution is presented in a companion paper. Based on the applications we have targeted and technologies we have used, this paper introduces our architecture and its components. It then presents the system’s current state and finally, discusses plans for future improvements and extensions.
