SOA4CoRE (Service-Oriented Architecture for Communication over Realtime Ethernet) is an open-source extension for the event-based simulation of service-oriented communication in real-time Ethernet networks in the OMNEST/OMNeT++ simulation system and replaces the deprecated SOQoSMW Framework. It is based on the INET-Framework, providing internet technologies, the CoRE4INET Framework, providing real-time Ethernet protocols such as AS6802, AVB and TSN, and the SignalsAndGateway framework (https://github.com/CoRE-RG/SignalsAndGateways) providing gateways to legacy bus systems. SOA4CoRE provides service-oriented middleware components, service applications and service endpoints for avb, tcp and udp. It was created by the CoRE (Communication over Realtime Ethernet) at the HAW-Hamburg (Hamburg University of Applied Sciences).

• Switch to OMNeT++ 6.0.2 and INET 3.8.3
• Continuous integration is now enabled.
• Model release including service-oriented middleware components, service applications and service endpoints for avb, tcp and udp.
• Name changed from SOQoSMW to SOA4CoRE.
• Model extended to support AUTOSAR SOME/IP with Service Discovery and SOME/IP service endpoints.

At the moment of this writing the INET framework does not support multicast route updates in routers using the IGMP (see inet-framework issue #80). We did a very basic implementation that reacts to IGMP messages to add and remove routes dynamically in routers. You can download this version from our fork of the inet-framework and checkout the branch feature/DynamicIGMPRoutes The patch is also located at SOA4CoRE/patches/inet-igmp-patch.diff and can be applied with git.

The SOA4CoRE model is under continuous development: new parts are added, bugs are corrected, and so on. We cannot assert that the implementation will work fully according to the specifications. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE YOURSELF TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MODELS YOU USE IN YOUR SIMULATIONS WORK CORRECTLY, AND YOU'RE GETTING VALID RESULTS.
