This research aimed at the development of a new vehicle intelligent transportation system (ITS) based on information collection by AT89C52 single chip microcomputer (SCM) and information transmission by GPRS. The author described the design scheme and system structure of both information collection and wireless transmission. The author also illustrated the specific design process of the related hardware...
This paper describes a supervision system able to handling the data collection from photovoltaic implants, their analysis allowing providing prevision and control of energy production. The supervision system integrates different functionality usually demanded to single subsystems and advanced features devoted to the implants maintenance and security. The supervision system is able to interact with...
In the multi-site manufacturing domain, systems-of-systems (SoS) are rarely called so. However, there exist a number of collaborative manufacturing paradigms which closely relate to system-of-system principles. These include distributed manufacturing, dispersed network manufacturing, virtual enterprises and cloud manufacturing/manufacturing-as-a-service. This paper provides an overview of these terms...
An application of the model proposed in Cello at al., A Model of Buffer Occupancy in ICNs, IEEE Communications Letters, to appear is investigated. Such a model provides a relationship in the z-domain between the discrete probability densities of the buffer state occupancies of the nodes in the network and the sizes of the arriving bulks. Under a class of two-hop forwarding strategies, expressions...
This paper proposes a general trajectory's meta-model and its architecture. In order to provide a unified meta-model and a powerful framework for trajectory's services and queries, the proposed trajectory's data-model has benefited from advantages of both conceptual and ontological space-time. However, it extends the basic data-model of trajectory with new patterns as Space Time Path to describe activities...
We discuss the initial design for CML, the first formal language specifically designed for modelling and analysing Systems of Systems (SoSs). It is presented through the use of an example: an SoS of independent telephone exchanges. Its overall behaviour is first specified as a communicating process: a centralised telephone exchange. This description is then refined into a network of telephone exchanges,...
Although originally conceived as a conceptual object for modelling knowledge, current ontologies do not make it possible to manipulate spatial knowledge. However, spatial knowledge is an essential component of any modelling specification. This problem provided the motivation for the creation of an expert system driven by an ontology. The system enables experts in the maritime domain to characterise...
In factory automation (FA) and laboratory automation (LA), an automation system alternates between transporting work-piece objects to an area that is appropriate for the purpose and then processing them. This kind of automation system needs high scalability. Therefore, the automation system is made up of various combinations of autonomous modules. That is, the automation system is a kind of system...
Human factors can play a significant role in the behavior of a system of systems. This is particularly true in collaborative system of systems, an example of which is the Smart Grid Demand Response. The Smart Grid Demand Response example is used in this paper to develop and prototype an approach to examine the impact of human factors (e.g., news stories and human interactions) on system of systems...
