Cyber-physical systems attract attentions from many domains including industrial automation recently. Cyber-physical production system or industrial cyber-physical system is considered as key to achieve collaborative automation systems. The service-oriented architecture is often linked with industrial cyber-physical systems to lift flexibility and interoperability. By adopting service-oriented architecture...
Todays increasing volatility of market demands and customer requirements are forcing industrial enterprises to realize and ensure an increased flexibility of production systems. Since current automation concepts and architectures for production systems do not provide the required flexibility sufficiently, new approaches have to be developed. This paper proposes an approach that implements the quickly...
Requirements evolve over the development lifecycle of a software project. Agile practices are designed specifically to address this challenge while showing early and continuous progress towards project goals. Applying an agile approach allows stakeholders to adapt the scope and capabilities of a development release to changing market needs. More recently, an agile approach has been recommended for...
Contemporary industrial automation struggle to cope with the continuous demand for high quality customized products at low cost at the same time that production lifecycle history proves that unexpected behavior arises, equipment fails and requirements are constantly adjusted. All this denotes a permanent need to reengineer in an fast and transparent manner in order to truly implement an agile factory...
Application lifecycle management (ALM) integrates the lifecycle workflows such as, requirements management, architecture, coding, testing, tracking, and release management. Process automation and seamless trace ability across the process are so important. But, different terminology and different model were used to implement the tool for specific workflow so that it is not possible to communicate between...
This paper presents a decentralized approach for the local reconfiguration of control software, which is based on a multiagent system with ontology-driven reasoning. We apply this approach to a transportation system and demonstrate improvements on efficiency, fault tolerance and stability with several experiments. One key element to achieve these results is the use of ontologies to ensure the consistency...
Transport systems of the future have to be flexible and adaptive in order to cope with failures and unexpected disturbances. Agent technology provides a good framework for handling with dynamics in large complex systems, using distributed control of the system increasing flexibility and enhancing fault tolerance. This paper researches how software agents supported with ontologies can improve the efficiency...
As ubiquitous virtual reality (U-VR) systems become more and more popular and several systems coexist all together, sharing events between them in order to improve the user experience and increase their scope and functionality will be mandatory. Since U-VR systems have a dynamic and decoupled nature, and they have their own event model, we propose in this paper a semantic publish/subscribe infrastructure...
Lifecycle support of a process from conception, implementation and evaluation can be enabled in a distributed cross organisational environment using service orientated architectures (SOA). In the automation domain the development of such lifecycles are both vital for the competitiveness of European manufacturing and challenging due to the environments they exist in. This paper explores the main innovations...
