Multiple embedded devices in modern control and monitoring systems are able to sense different aspects of the current context such as environmental conditions, current processes in the system and user state. The number of captured situations in the environment and quantity and variety of devices in the system produce considerable amounts of data, which should be processed, understood and followed...
The informational flow in modern technological systems is intensive due to multiple embedded devices, which leads to informational overload for users, causes time lost and decreases the reliability of the performance of a human-machine system. There is a need for efficient managing of information in order to display it to a particular user accordingly to his/her current needs. This paper presents...
Emerging network technologies and growing variety of available devices open new smart home systems perspective for data capturing and analyzing. Systems tend to become wider in scale and are able to capture different aspects of living conditions inside and outside buildings. The variety of available information makes those systems attractive to various user groups with different roles and responsibilities...
Modern buildings are equipped with multiple systems, which are dedicated to improve quality of living for inhabitants and to facilitate performance of daily duties for maintenance personnel. Yet the variety of the systems causes the bulky informational flow, which may result informational tense to the user, time lost and increase of errors. To make life comfortable in a smart house, the inhabitants...
Automation industry is moving towards more complex systems which are posing new challenges for operation from both machine and human perspectives. A group of challenges is related to management of the overwhelming information flow and to usability of the systems, and context-aware solutions have been recently introduced to the automation field in order to cope with challenges of this kind. The context...
Meeting challenges of the competitive market, modern manufacturing systems are evolving to heterogeneous and distributed network of systems which can be seen as an application of systems of systems (SoS). There is a challenge to develop adequate modelling techniques and tools which would be able to capture paradoxical nature of SoS with its evolving boundaries and requirements, network centricity,...
In the 90s there was introduced concept of system of systems (SoS) in order to deal with growing complexity, geographical distribution, and heterogeneity of the various technological systems such as, for instance, modern factories. Methods of the traditional system engineering have been challenged in capturing of SoS specific nature like evolving requirements, ambulatory boundaries, decentralization,...
This paper is aimed to discuss the abilities of the ontologies to describe a human like structure of knowledge and propose some visions on how the ontologies can be developed in accordance to the lessons from the cognitive psychology. The needs of intelligent industrial environment require the solution for replacement of technical expertise of engineers. The ontological approach is claimed to be a...
