It enables virtual system development in distributed, multi-tiered environments, like the automotive industry. The Distributed Co-Simulation Protocol (DCP) is a novel specification of an application layer communication protocol. It is standardized next to the well-established Functional Mock-Up Interface (FMI). The DCP specification addresses design and behaviour of single DCP slaves, as main components of larger, possibly distributed, co-simulation scenarios. At this point in time, no tailor-made solution for convenient description of distributed co-simulation scenarios is available. This paper presents a first version of DCPML, a domain specific modeling language for distributed co-simulation scenarios. It is based on three layers of integration and contributes to development efficiency by following a front-loading approach. It is designed as a UML profile, extending existing visual notation languages like UML and SysML. The language can be used for design, communication, and preparation for execution, of distributed co-simulation scenarios. For demonstration purposes, it is implemented in an industry relevant systems engineering tool. DCPML models can be used to import and export XML data, representing DCP slave and scenario descriptions. A typical demonstrator from the automotive domain is shown. It highlights a tool implementation and the capabilities of DCPML.","PeriodicalId":260220,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 17th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122446874","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}

Each of them is tailored for a specific industrial domain. One of these protocols is the Deterministic and Synchronous Multichannel Extension (DSME), which targets general industrial and commercial application domains. The DSME protocol extends the classic IEEE 802.15.4 protocol, overcoming the limitation on the maximum number of Guaranteed Time Slots (GTSs) and providing for channel diversity to increase network robustness. However, the DSME protocol suffers from scalability problems due to the rigid structure of the DSME multi-superframe, which in large networks does not allow to handle GTSs in an efficient way. To overcome this limitation, this work proposes the Shared DSME, an approach to handle the GTSs within the multi-superframe in an efficient way, thus increasing the scalability of the DSME protocol.","PeriodicalId":260220,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 17th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116271010","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, there are still several challenges to be addressed, especially when visual sensors are used for critical monitoring. When availability issues are addressed in WVSN, different metrics and algorithms can be employed, but such approaches are usually focused on a single coverage goal. Actually, some monitoring applications may want to simultaneously optimize coverage over targets and areas alike, which requires an appropriate perception of the level of availability of the application at any given time. In this context, this article proposes a new availability metric for WVSN, considering that all targets and areas should be optimally and simultaneously covered by the cameras. In addition, optimization algorithms are proposed and compared, aiming at improving the availability of applications when rotatable visual sensors are employed.","PeriodicalId":260220,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 17th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117045508","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}

Traditional approaches in this field mostly rely on harnessing statistical methods into processing medical data like genes, MRI images, demographics, etc. Latest advances of machine learning techniques grant another chance of training disease progression models for AD. This trend leads on exploring and designing new machine learning techniques towards multi-modality medical and health dataset for predicting occurrences and modeling progression of AD. This paper aims at giving a systemic survey on summarizing and comparing several mainstream techniques for AD progression modeling, and discuss the potential and limitations of these techniques in practical applications. We summarize three key techniques for modeling AD progression: multi-task model, time series model and deep learning. In particular, we discuss the basic structural elements of most representative multi-task learning algorithms, and analyze a multi-task disease prediction model based on longitudinal time. Lastly, some potential future research direction is given.","PeriodicalId":260220,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 17th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116137069","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 status updates are sent to an designated destination in a real-time manner over an unreliable link. The source is subject to a practical constraint of limited average transmission power. Thus, the system should carefully schedule when to transmit a fresh status update or retransmit the stale one. To characterize the performance of timely status update, we adopt a recent concept, Age of Information (AoI), as the performance metric. We aim to minimize the long-term average AoI under the limited average transmission power at the source, by formulating a constrained Markov Decision Process (CMDP) problem. To address the formulated CMDP, we recast it into an unconstrained Markov Decision Process (MDP) through Lagrangian relaxation. We prove the existence of optimal stationary policy of the original CMDP, which is a randomized mixture of two deterministic stationary policies of the unconstrained MDP. We also explore the characteristics of the problem to reduce the action space of each state to significantly reduce the computation complexity. We further prove the threshold structure of the optimal deterministic policy for the unconstrained MDP. Simulation results show the proposed optimal policy achieves lower average AoI compared with random policy, especially when the system suffers from stricter resource constraint. Besides, the influence of status generation probability and transmission failure rate on optimal policy and the resultant average AoI as well as the impact of average transmission power on the minimal average AoI are unveiled.","PeriodicalId":260220,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 17th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122112875","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}

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platforms are enablers for such services and provide new possibilities to interact with the system running in the field. Furthermore, the traditional dashboard are becoming obsolete as user interface and are replaced by novel solutions that let the system operator experience the system health state.
