State ofArtoftheDistributed Measurement Systems forIndustrial andEducational Purposes

Thelargediffusion oftheDistributed Measurement Systems (DMS) aimstoproviding innovative solutions todifferent situations whichappear forbothindustrial andeducational applications. Consequently, advanced hardware platforms and innovative software architectures aredemanded Inthese situations, thedevelopment ofnovel approaches insoftware andhardware tools forDMShasfundamental importance. Thepaper provides an overview ofthehardware andsoftware architectures which are currently usedtodevelop DMSs,focusing onadvanced topics concerning theDMSmanagement. Inparticular, theworkload, the synchronization andthecommunication delay aspects aretaken into account.
