Web-based DMS for Motorola

Motorola's SURFboard wireless cable modem incorporates gateway, firewall, VPN, and WEP security features. Art & Logic developed an API which allowed cable service providers to customize the interface at runtime, selectively hiding and showing content and changing fields to read/write or read-only. The interface was integrated with a customized version of the GoAhead Webserver and Art & Logic's own Device Management Framework.

Digital Audio Plugin SDK and Support

When ROLAND® decided to add a third-party plugin architecture to their popular V-STUDIOS™ digital audio workstations, they called Art & Logic for assistance. Through a partnership between the two companies, Art & Logic consulted with ROLAND engineers developing the VS8F-3 expansion card, and created a Software Development Kit (SDK) to be used by third-party developers of audio effects plugins. Art & Logic played a critical role in all phases of this project. more...

Art & Logic played a critical role in all phases of this project. Early in the design process, Art & Logic advised the ROLAND engineers when selecting a DSP chip for their card. After the successful release of the SDK, Art & Logic became ROLAND's development and support partner, assisting third-party developers and acting as a liaison with ROLAND's design team in Japan.

The "Beat Thang" Groovebox Software

Beat Kangz Electronics hired Art & Logic to create the firmware for the Beat Thang, a new groovebox aimed at the hip hop market. The project also includes a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) plugin for Mac OS X and Windows called the Beat Thang Virtual. It is available at Sam Ash, Guitar Center, and online.

Web-based Network Management System

Ensemble is a pioneer in Broadband Wireless Access. Art & Logic created the web-based interface for Ensemble's Network Management System. The interface features many dynamic elements including a view of the base station, showing the real-time positions of cards and LED's. Sophisticated JavaScript and HTML coding techniques were used to develop this dynamic user experience.

Web Interface for VoIP Accelerator

Israel-based Kagoor Networks hired Art & Logic to create the embedded web interface for their VoiceFlow 1000 voice-over-IP accelerator. Using the GoAhead WebServer and an early version of the Art & Logic Device Manage Framework, Art & Logic was able to develop a highly interactive interface, including real-time scrolling graphs, in only 116K of memory.

Multi-product Management Software for SMS Product Line

Redback Networks had developed one of the most sophisticated networking products ever, the SMS 1000 multi-protocol virtual router/switch/bridge. Now it needed a configuration and management interface that network providers could actually use. Having heard through about the work that Art & Logic was doing for other networking product companies, Redback hired Art & Logic to create the SMS 1000 product's management interface. Since then Redback has grown from a startup into a highly respected public company, while continuing to work with Art & Logic on several new products. more...

Since then Redback has grown from a startup into a highly respected public company, while continuing to work with Art & Logic on several new products. The original codebase, including the Art & Logic Advanced JavaScript Control Suite and some tricky searching, sorting, and filtering software, has sped development of the rest of Redback's product line. Because of the complexity of the SMS products they became a showcase of embedded internet capabilities. For example, the device interface can show which plugin cards are in which device slots and can defer committing a large set of cached configuration changes to eliminate conflicts.

Ground-breaking Network Device Management System Under pSOS for Flagship Product

In 1996, managing a networking device with a web browser was almost unheard of. Sonoma Systems, later acquired by Nortel, chose Art & Logic for our strong object-oriented capabilities. The embedded solution created by Art & Logic "solved the problem behind the problem," in the words of the client. The project involved close interaction with the OS vendor (ISI) because Art & Logic engineers were pushing their pSOS C++ compiler farther than anyone had before. Art & Logic created an HTML tagging language, wrote the embedded code to implement it, and coded the HTML files to use the new language. more...

The project involved close interaction with the OS vendor (ISI) because Art & Logic engineers were pushing their pSOS C++ compiler farther than anyone had before. Art & Logic created an HTML tagging language, wrote the embedded code to implement it, and coded the HTML files to use the new language. The custom tagging created a foundation for easy feature changes and faster new product development - a departure from previous brute-force implementations. The technique also substantially reduced code line count, which reduced defects. The resulting system was not only solid, but had substantial features, such as session management, security, and user account management.
