As the traditional feature extraction and statistical machine learning methods are too complex and rely on artificial recognition, an automatic feature extraction model based on deep learning is applied for defect detection and quantification. Owing to their similarity with the ultrasonic guided wave signals, the measured 1D signals from the experiments cannot be directly applied to train neural networks. Therefore, we used the normalization, minimum suppression, and continuous wavelet transform methods to convert the initial measured 1D signals into processed 2D images, and constructed a data set containing 1,440,000,000 signal/image data. The performance of the proposed GFresNet-2D model for this new data set was also compared with those of traditional models, and sensitivity analyses were performed for some of the representative parameters. The results confirm that the proposed method can contribute to the development of deep-learning-based defect quantification using the ultrasonic guided wave focusing method.","PeriodicalId":370921,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 19th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129604266","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}

Container technology proves to be a viable solution for such problems, as containers isolate application code and all its dependencies from the surrounding computational environment. They are also light, fast and performant. Manual generation of configuration files required by orchestration tools such as Docker Compose is very time-consuming, especially for more complex scenarios. In this paper a solution is presented to ease the development and deployment of Robot Operating System (ROS) packages using containers, by automatically generating all files used by Docker Compose to both containerize and orchestrate multiple ROS workspaces, supporting multiple ROS distributions and multi-robot scenarios. The proposed solution also generates Dockerfiles and is capable of building new Docker images at run-time, given a list of desired ROS packages to be containerized. Integration with existing Docker images is supported, even if non-ROS-related. After an analysis of existing solutions and techniques for containerizing ROS nodes, the multi-stage pipeline adopted by the proposed solution for file generation is detailed. Then, a real usage example of the proposed tool is presented, showcasing how it an aid both the development and deployment of new ROS packages and features.","PeriodicalId":370921,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 19th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129952003","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}

In the improvement of the overall performance of sensing accuracy and energy efficiency, sensing and transmission are tightly coupled. Due to the unknown transmission channel states in the harsh industrial field environment, intelligently performing sensor scheduling for distributed sensing is challenging. In this paper, edge computing technology is utilized to enhance the level of intelligence at the edge side and deploy advanced scheduling algorithms. We propose a learning-based distributed edge sensing-transmission co-design (LEST) algorithm under the coordination of the sensors and the edge computing unit (ECU). Deep reinforcement learning is applied to perform real-time sensor scheduling under unknown channel states. The conditions for the existence of feasible scheduling policies are analyzed. The proposed algorithm is applied to estimate the slab temperature in the hot rolling process, which is a typical ICPS. The simulation results demonstrate that the overall performance of LEST is better than other suboptimal algorithms.","PeriodicalId":370921,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 19th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121802926","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}

Utilising various biomarkers to track and predict AD progression for supporting clinic decisions has recently received wide attentions. Accurate prediction of disease progression will help clinicians and patients make the best decisions on disease prevention and treatment. Typical prediction models focus on extracting biomarker morphological information of different regions of interest (ROIs) from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET), such as the average regional cortical thickness and regional volume. They are effective in modeling AD progression and understanding AD biomarkers, but cannot make full utilise of the internal temporal and spatial relationships between these biomarkers to improve the accuracy and stability of AD prediction. In this paper, we propose a new multi-task learning (MTL) method based on the tensor composed of the spatio-temporal similarity measure between brain biomarkers, using MRI data and cognitive scores of AD patients in different stages can effectively predict the progression of AD. Specifically, we define a temporal and spatial feature similarity measure to calculate the rate of change and velocity of each biomarker in MRI to form a vector, which represents the morphological changing trend of the biomarker, then we calculate the similarity of the changing trend between two biomarkers and encode the data to the third-order tensor, and extract interpretable biomarker latent factors from the original data. The prediction of each patient sample in the tensor is a task and all prediction tasks share a set of latent factors obtained from tensor decomposition to train the AD progression prediction model, which learns task correlation from the spatiotemporal tensor itself. We conducted extensive experiments utilising the data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Experimental results show that compared with ROI-based traditional single feature regression methods, our proposed method has better accuracy and stability in disease progression prediction in terms of root mean square error exhibiting an average of 4.10 decrease compared to Ridge regression, 0.19 decrease compared to Lasso regression and 0.18 decrease compared to Temporal Group Lasso (TGL) in the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) questionnaire.","PeriodicalId":370921,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 19th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127234062","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 application of the digital twin concept improves performance of a system by implementing monitoring, diagnosis, optimisation, and decision support actions. In particular, the decision-making process is very time consuming since the decision-maker is presented with hundreds of different scenarios that can be simulated and assessed in a what-if perspective. Bearing this in mind, this paper proposes to integrate a digital twin-based what-if simulation with a recommendation system to improve the decision-making cycle. The recommendation system is based on a reinforcement learning technique and takes user knowledge of the system into consideration and trust in the system recommendation. The applicability of the proposed approach is presented in an assembly line case study for recommending the best configurations for the system operation, in terms of the optimal number of AGVs (Autonomous Guided Vehicles) in various scenarios. The achieved results show its successful application and highlight the benefits of using AI-based recommendation systems for what-if simulation in digital twin systems.","PeriodicalId":370921,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 19th International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127882729","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}
