Today's traffic management systems require interoperability of control units from different vendors on manifold communication infrastructures. The management of these control units is getting a complex task as different vendors supply proprietary management instrumentations (e. g. for uploading new firmware, update of contents, configuration, diagnostics and troubleshooting). A standardized data model...
Building information modelling (BIM) is only a tool in the procurement of a building, but it is changing the way the whole process is undertaken. Having a single model which is used by all disciplines requires a different management structure and by consequence a restructuring of the resources required to complete a project.These changes are encompassed in Integrated Practice and more recently Integrated...
Increasing numbers of DER systems are being interconnected to electric power systems throughout the world. As DER technology evolves and as the impact of dispersed generation on distribution power systems becomes a growing challenge -- and a growing opportunity, countries worldwide are recognizing the economic, social, and environmental benefits of monitoring and integrating DER technology within...
Management of testing provides high level control on testing and monitoring of testing provides both high level and detailed insight in the testing activities. The combination of management and monitoring gives a strong grip on test processes and test projects. This is required to manage risk, to increase efficiency and to provide transparency into development and test processes for various stakeholders...
Ethernet technology is rapidly gaining importance as it becomes a dominant solution for a converged transport network. Ethernet OAM features defined in standards provide a means of performance improvement to meet carrier-class transport network requirements. This article outlines Ethernet OAM functions and mechanisms, and explains how its performance monitoring schemes work. In addition, this article...
The increasing ubiquity of mobile embedded systems has been matched by the evolution of a variety of wireless network standards and technologies. The major constraints of wireless embedded systems are limitations of communication bandwidth, processing capabilities, and battery power. Remote wireless embedded systems often act as sensors, which provide data to a certain community. The exchange of data...
The Open Distributed Processing Reference Model (ODP-RM) provides viewpoints and abstract infrastructure guidelines that can be used for a basis for enterprise architecture, especially for an inter-enterprise architecture. The ODP-RM does not prescribe methodology for modeling itself, but provides common vocabulary and focus for description. This paper performs a brief analysis of the ODP-RM (and...
We developed a quality of service (QoS) management system to support service level management (SLM) for global enterprise services. The QoS management system is integrated with one of our enterprise services in a preproduction system, an identical system as the production system but in a test environment. Lab experiments showed that our integrated solution helps global enterprise services to better...
Recommended practices are provided for the design, installation, testing, operation, and maintenance of impedance, induction, and skin-effect heating systems. Thermal insulation and control and monitoring are addressed. General considerations for heating systems are discussed, covering selection criteria, design guidelines and considerations, power systems, receiving and storage, installation, testing,...
