Action

Each of the steps in which any calculation or communication process is divided.

AML-IP

Algebraic Machine Learning - Integrating Platform

Scenario

Set of Actions that performs a whole, independent and self-contained behavior inside an AML network. More information in User Manual section.

Node

Independent and stand-alone piece of software that performs different Actions. Each Node belongs to one and only one Scenario. More information in User Manual section.

DDS

DDS

Data Distribution Service protocol. Specification: https://www.omg.org/spec/DDS/. More information in User Manual section.

Domain Id

Virtual partition for DDS networks.

Endpoint

Individual Entity that can Subscribe or Publish in a specific Topic.

Publish

To send a data or message to all the entities in the network subscribed to the same Topic in which the data is being published.

RTPS

Real-time Publish-Subscribe protocol https://www.omg.org/spec/DDSI-RTPS/.

Subscribe

To connect to a specific Topic and to receive messages published in such topic.

Topic

An abstract channel of communication that connects Publishers that Publish and Subscribers that Subscribe.

OMG

Object Management Group https://www.omg.org/.

QoS

Quality of Service. Configurations of Topic and Endpoint that allow to specify the communication behavior. This allows to create reliable or best-effort communication channels, to determine the life of a data sent, to set internal configurations, etc.

Networking

IP

• Internet Protocol

LAN

Local Area Network

NAT

Network Address Translation: Typically an internet router multiplexes all the traffic through a public IP to several private IPs. Usually, the machines under the router network cannot be accessed from the outside unless a Port is forwarded in the router configuration, or if such host has previously started a TCP communication with the message source.
