The Event Handler system is a component that supports the handling of events, and in that sense it enriches service-oriented applications with the capabilities of interacting via the publish/subscribe paradigm. In fact, the Event Handler system is in charge of the notification of events that occur in a given Arrowhead compliant installation, manages producers and consumers of events, allows filtering of messages, and manages historical data regarding events. This latter capability is performed either on local files, on a database, or through another component of the Arrowhead Framework - the Historian system. The net result of the integration of the Event Handler in an Arrowhead Framework simplifies and empowers the communication of its components, as it is demonstrated in the paper with two examples: the management of application faults, and the support to quality of service of orchestrated services.","PeriodicalId":413770,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE World Conference on Factory Communication Systems (WFCS)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131682649","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}

Battery lifetime estimation is therefore crucial to evaluate the network behavior over time. In addition, battery lifetime estimation is a major challenge since it depends on many factors, such as the duty cycle of supported applications and the intrinsic chemical reactions within the batteries. Several battery models have been proposed to deal with battery lifetime estimation. However, most of the available models address only high-capacity batteries. This paper discusses a method for extracting the parameters for the Kinetic Battery Model (KiBaM) used within WSN context. The target is to define a battery model that helps to estimate the lifetime of nodes using low-capacity batteries and which operate in a duty cycle scheme. Results show that KiBaM is an adequate model for WSNs since it presents low error when compared with experimental results using real batteries.","PeriodicalId":413770,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE World Conference on Factory Communication Systems (WFCS)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129517499","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}

We base our study on the premise that the most applicable technologies for such a scenario would be those of inter-system routing protocols from the domain of peer-to-peer (P2P) cooperative systems networking. We therefore summarize the basic principles governing such protocols and, using them, present a study that observes the conversion of a single system P2P networking protocol into an inter-system routing protocol.

Another issue is the real time capability of Wifi or other wireless transmission protocols like IEEE 802.15.4.

In industrial domains, Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS) enable fault-tolerant, predictable production systems. Unfortunately, CMS development is challenging due to the distribution of computational tasks among heterogeneous industrial Internet of Things and Services (IoTS)-architectures. It is usually started from scratch, which is time-consuming and error-prone. In times of IoTS the employee as a maintenance worker, who ensures the availability of production machinery, is still important. In order to address these challenges, we propose a modular framework for web-based condition monitoring and fault diagnostics. The implementation relies on technologies such as Hypertext Markup Language 5 (HTML5), JavaScript (JS) and node.j s as well as industrial internet communication standards. Finally, verification and validation are performed in a case study on a modular robot cell for the inspection of electronic assemblies.","PeriodicalId":413770,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE World Conference on Factory Communication Systems (WFCS)","volume":"154 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125885160","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, for such optimizations, source nodes have to be properly prioritized according to some effective metric. When performing visual sensing over moving targets, sensors may view different parts of the targets, which may have particular relevance for monitoring applications. In this context, this paper proposes a low-cost mathematical approach that associates a priority level to each visual source node according to the viewed segments of the targets' perimeter, and such priority may then be exploited for a large set of optimizations. A complete mathematical formulation and numerical results are presented to base the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":413770,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE World Conference on Factory Communication Systems (WFCS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116567537","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 industrial radio channel exhibits pronounced effects of multipath fading and wireless LAN (WLAN) interference that can potentially lead to temporary communication failures, as well as complete isolation of network devices. The current IWSN standards adopt known countermeasures to cope with the harshness of the radio channel, but they lack solutions specifically oriented to detect blackouts and self-recover the communication fulfilling hard deadline constraints. In this work we focus on the problem of blackout detection with specific interest for the WirelessHART standard, introducing a Blackout Detection Service (BDS) expressly addressed to multi-hop periodic communication with sensors and actuators. The BDS monitors end-to-end acknowledgement messages and builds specific metrics to promptly identify communication outages, enabling three criticality classes. The algorithm is tested in the ns-2 network simulator and results show that the proposed system is able to detect blackout events with reaction delays of the order of 4-5 times the refresh rate of nodes and to discriminate between small and temporary network issues and serious blackout scenarios, opening the field for recovery strategies.","PeriodicalId":413770,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE World Conference on Factory Communication Systems (WFCS)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122240519","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}

Cloud-based service brings benefits in cost, energy efficiency, sharing of resources, increased flexibility, adaptability and evolvability. However, there are a number of associated challenges that need to be properly addressed before applying the cloud technique generally in industries. Providing efficient and predictable computation and communication is one of the important challenges, since many industrial systems (e.g. a control system) have specific timing requirements. Our current work thus focuses on guaranteeing the predictability of a cloud-based service. Virtualization, as one of the key technologies in Cloud Computing, is used to abstract details of resources away from end-services which simplifies the resource sharing. It thus improves the resource utilization and saves budget for end-users. In this preliminary work, we have implemented a distributed system using virtualization techniques (including virtual machines and virtual switches). Additionally, we generate a number of experiments to investigate how QoS policies can help us to provide real-time communication guarantees.","PeriodicalId":413770,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE World Conference on Factory Communication Systems (WFCS)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127735069","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}

Multimedia traffic is characterised by having large size, low intensity and soft real-time requirements, while control traffic usually conveys small amounts of information with a high intensity and hard real-time requirements. Moreover, many modern applications must support on-line connection and disconnection of participants. Since Ethernet was designed as a general purpose data network protocol it lacks appropriate support for real-time communications and dynamic quality of service management. Several protocols were proposed to cope with these drawbacks, including Flexible Time-Triggered Switched Ethernet and, more recently, Audio Video Bridging.
