Towards a compositional service architecture for real-time cloud robotics: invited paper

This paper presents our ongoing work towards a compositional service architecture that integrates cloud technology for computational capacity targeting real-time robotics applications. In particular, the paper focuses at the challenges inherent within the data center where the services are executing. Here, we outline characteristics of the services applied in the real-time cloud robotics application, along with the service management and corresponding task model used to execute the services. Moreover, several key challenges that must be addressed towards integrating cloud technology in real-time robotics are identified.
