The transformation of a nonstandardized model of information into a computer-interpretable representation is not an easy task. Our investigation expands the concept of soft ontologies to fuzzy data represented as fuzzy RDF triples. In this paper, we elaborate a process that transforms a soft ontology implemented in the form of a matrix of probabilities into a fuzzy RDF dataset. The study presents the way the matrix of probabilities are used in the representation and how the data elements are triplified exploring fuzzy characteristics. We apply the proposal in an experimental scenario, by constructing a soft ontology which expresses a repertoire of actions in an mBot robot. Then, the facts are triplified to fuzzy RDF statements. Our results present original aspects related to the transformation of soft ontologies to fuzzy RDF triples","PeriodicalId":116875,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 28th International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE)","volume":"251 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132663236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The streams of data coming from each connected device can be seen as collections of Time Series, which need proper techniques to guarantee their persistence. In particular, these solutions must be able to provide both an effective data ingestion and data retrieval, which are challenging tasks. This problem is particularly sensible in the Industrial IoT (IIoT) context, given the potentially great number of equipment that could be instrumented with sensors generating time series. In this study we present the results of an empirical comparison of three NoSQL Database Management Systems, namely Cassandra, MongoDB and InfluxDB, in maintaining and retrieving gigabytes of real IIoT data, collected from an instrumented dressing machine. Results show that, for our specific Time Series dataset, InfluxDB is able to outperform Cassandra in all the considered tests, and has better overall performance respect to MongoDB.","PeriodicalId":116875,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 28th International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE)","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122650637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapidly evolving and complex technological innovations continuously impede preemptive security and safety mechanisms. In such a scenario, well-functioning mechanisms and versatile systems are essential, which can contribute towards advanced safety and security approaches. To avoid the hazardous situation, these efficient systems and mechanisms work on two important principles including security policy to counter threats and the resilience to handle safety hazards. The role of trust to manage safety and security is significant. It is actually the belief that the system is competent enough to function securely, reliably, and dependably in a specific context. Therefore, the unified approach to manage trustworthiness, safety, and security on such systems can be of great importance. By developing trust among different entities involved in such systems/mechanisms, the security of the sensitive resources can be ensured more effectively. In the same way, several trust levels on the systems within a network could enhance cooperation and security by minimizing safety hazards and malicious activities. Moreover, there is a robust requirement of developing generic safety and security management mechanism, which should be reliable enough to handle multiple numbers and types of resources since systems/mechanisms integrate applications of different nature. Each of these applications/systems requires different safety rules, information assurance, and security policies that existing systems are incapable to manage. Therefore, in order to several types of resources, the co-engineering approach should be adopted during development, which addresses both safety hazards and security threats.","PeriodicalId":116875,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 28th International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115209174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The recent dematerialization efforts have been pushing the way for a digital form of these documents, so as to make their management more efficient and cost-saving.

The research community is putting a lot of attention to realize effective and easy-to-use search capabilities over these large number of digital/digitalized documents.

Classical DES will no longer be a possible solution for Complex and Large-scale systems, System of Systems (SoS), and Performance Evaluation Systems that compare multiple different simulations running simultaneously in parallel. Advances in network and communications made the Distributed Simulation (DS) approach one of the best solutions for the aforementioned Systems Simulations. One of the challenges faced when developing a DS from DES components is the federation behavior including time management and synchronization between these components. In most of the traditional DES platforms, simulations cannot exchange messages, nor change the configuration at run time. This makes the DES connection and integration very hard and at times, impossible to implement. This article presents the method used to integrate different DES components, using High-Level Architecture (HLA) Evolved Standard, Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), and Jaamsim, a Java open source DES.","PeriodicalId":116875,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 28th International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125355396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
