In building automation, applications on WSN are expected to utilize a large number of nodes in a heterogeneous environment. They are too complex to be developed in the traditional way of prototyping and debugging. In fact, new techniques are needed to support the design of WSN applications efficiently. Simulation is one important method to decrease design time and to increase design quality. This is crucial for applications in building automation because very high reliability and robustness are required. In this paper major challenges of simulating wireless sensor network applications are discussed. Using a WSN simulation framework, functional simulation and the evaluation of robustness of WSN applications in building automation environments are demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":201440,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010)","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117313844","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}

For this, a new dynamic simulation library of RO plants was presented elsewhere. Now, the present paper deals with the validation of that library, using experimental data from a real RO plant.","PeriodicalId":201440,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010)","volume":"285 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116109597","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 rationale for the proposal is in the incorporation of knowledge, supported by ontologies regarding manufacturing processes, industrial machinery and the industrial plants involved. With this knowledge, process engineers can focus their efforts exclusively to define the activities to be performed on the raw material (abstract model), allowing the system to infer what other activities should be incorporated in the abstract model to obtain a particular manufacturing process tailored to a particular industrial plant. To refine the proposal, a case study is put forward in which the management system was able to infer the way for the raw material to be processed according to the abstract model and automatically composed the activities necessary for achieving it. Finally, an implementation of this management system for processes is presented together with the design of two models of industrial plant that demonstrate the validity of our proposal.","PeriodicalId":201440,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115154197","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}

Even though, the controller is simple and easily implementable to low level control architectures, the performance the closed loop system is satisfactory.

To this end, the acoustic profiles provided by the MSIS are processed to obtain range data. Also, dead reckoning is used to compensate the robot motion during the sonar mechanical scanning and build range scans. When a new scan is constructed, its estimated position with respect to the previously gathered one is used to augment the SLAM state vector. Also, each new scan is matched against the previously detected ones by means of scan matching techniques. As the state vector contains relative positions between consecutively gathered scans, the measurement update explicitly takes into account the robot trajectory involved in each loop closure.","PeriodicalId":201440,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125439668","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 main focus lies on a two layered approach combining the communication middleware FAMOUSO and the programming abstraction MOSAIC. FAMOUSO enables the information exchange between networked systems, hides the high degree of heterogeneity on hardware and network level, and is usable from different programming environments. MOSAIC uses FAMOUSO and provides a generic access to the exchanged information. Furthermore, it offers a way to abstract from different sensor and actuator hardware and provides a framework for application development with predefined components, enabling comprehensive fault detection. The paper concludes with a case study that shows how the middleware and programming abstractions are used to build a distributed modular system for a robot manipulator.","PeriodicalId":201440,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125744145","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}

However, the intricacies of data stream processing techniques make its application difficult in real-life scenarios. One particularly challenging situation arises when changing conditions necessitate a modification in processing logic of system operators. This is especially difficult in the presence of streaming data and transient internal states of the system. Since downtimes are expensive, an efficient solution has to be provided for updating the processing logic. In this paper, strategies for on-the-fly adaptation of data stream queries are presented and experimentally evaluated with examples from the domain of condition-based maintenance. Techniques for state preservation allow for a fast transition to new processing logic. The results show that our strategies are well suited for demanding applications in factory environments.","PeriodicalId":201440,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 15th Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation (ETFA 2010)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129765891","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}
