Evaluating the Kaleidoscope Product-Line Architecture for Monitoring and Control Systems

This paper presents an evaluation of the Kaleidoscope product-line architecture, that has been successfully used over the past few years for building monitoring and control systems in various application domains. The architecture is based on the separation of communication, computation, and strategy in order to foster modularity and reuse. Two case studies are briefly presented.
