Abstract
MTRON (Macro-TRON) is the network architecture for building the HFDS (Highly Functional Distributed System) in the TRON Project. Nodes with embedded microprocessors in an MTRON network are called intelligent objects The HFDS is designed to be scaled into a very large network consisting of vast numbers of such intelligent objects. The HFDS needs various forms of data and real-time communication services, which MTRON is designed to provide using a composite layered architecture approach. Applications in the HFDS include management of buildings. In order to handle the position-dependent processing of intelligent objects inside a building, MTRON is specifically designed to handle the concept of the physical position of a node. In order to communicate with the large number of nodes that will be connected to networks in the future, communication protocols are defined dynamically using TULS (Tron Universal Language System).
