A common practice for integration of large applications is modularity and servitization as seen in the Service Oriented Computing (SOC) paradigms. Services can be encapsulated as a Function Block (FB) according to IEC-61499 standard bridging the gap between shop-floors and Information Technology (IT) distributed systems. This approach eases the task to describe the overall system in a single descriptive language. However, along with all these concepts comes the critical task of ensuring trustful communication between distributed modular functions to transform the atomic functionality into processes. One of the main challenges for function composition is the need to establish the interactions between the compatible modules to compose a process. This encourages the use of a rich descriptive language as a control strategy to manage the exchange of messages and to define the connections among the services. Primarily, this paper provides a contrast for Function Block composition using IEC-61499 and Choreography Description Languages (CDL) for Function Block based integration. The results are later evaluated within the PLANTCockpit's Function Block Engine reference architecture for deployment of Function Block Networks (FBNs).","PeriodicalId":6312,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"4 1","pages":"212-217"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80749642","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 enterprise applications are retrieving the information about the production processing the data from outer sources. The factory shop-floor devices are among the most important data sources. The exposure of the shop-floor devices information and functionality to information systems is currently being implemented employing Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm. Device Profile for Web Services (DPWS) is among the most employed technologies providing the service functionality to devices. The contemporary factory information system is usually a continuously expanding set of dissimilar, independent applications, which are separately retrieving the information about enterprise processes. These applications frequently duplicate information or functionality of each other. The necessity to integrate these applications emerges, once the overlap between applications should be removed. Creation of multiple custom integrations between the applications in constantly developing system, commonly, is not an effective practice. The Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) can simplify and standardize the integration, providing neutral messaging system. Currently MOM and factory information systems are often implemented employing dynamic packaging systems such as OSGi. The approach for interoperability of OSGi and DPWS presented in this article is based on the DPWS adapter function block. This block can be deployed in OSGi system, instantiated and configured for particular integration tasks. This approach aims to introduce the loose connection between the enterprise information system and devices.","PeriodicalId":6312,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"28 15 1","pages":"200-205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74850279","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}

This spiral process requires the usage of appropriate techniques to control complexity such as decoupled design and development paradigms, and communications middleware that facilitate the development of distributed applications. The highest exponent of them is, currently, DDS middleware (Data Distribution System for Distributed Real-Time Systems) that is specifically designed for applications that have timing requirements. Also, virtualization techniques follow the principle of complexity reduction, and they allow to customize the offered computational platforms and to achieve server consolidation in different domains ranging from industrial control systems, distributed surveillance, or enterprise resource planning applications. This paper describes some considerations for merging real-time middleware, such as DDS, and virtualization technology with the aim of suiting the cyber physical domain. This virtual integration tries to bypass the typical bottlenecks of performance. Performance results track the differences between the executions of DDS middleware in the bare machine compared to a virtualized environment.","PeriodicalId":6312,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"12 3 1","pages":"71-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80396760","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}

Moreover, the developed cooperative driver model is being integrated with a human operated driving simulator that enables verification of the proposed model in mixed scenarios enriching the simulation for a human driver with highly cooperative background traffic; thus, providing a platform for further studies on benefits of assistive technologies.

Data-driven modeling is done for specific objects and is difficult to generalize for nearly isometric objects that have similarities in semantics or topology. This limitation prevents the wide use of the data-driven modeling techniques when compared with parametric methods such as finite element methods. The proposed solution is to incorporate deformation transfer methods when processing similar instances. The contributions of this work are focused on the novel automatic shape correspondence method that overcomes the problems of symmetry and semantics presence requirement. The results shows that the proposed algorithm can efficiently calculate the correspondence and transfer deformations for a range of similar 3D objects.","PeriodicalId":6312,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"80 1","pages":"264-269"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85768175","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}

Its centralized management produces all the communication scheduling and routing, which in turns allows low power and low cost field devices, adequate for slow and static networks. This is typically the case of process control applications. However, the slow dynamics of this protocol avoids the usage of mobile or intermittent devices, such as robots and portable devices for plant coordination or inspection. This paper introduces a special field device that has a network coprocessor incorporated. The coprocessor is able to locally manage network events and, together with a modified field device that can act as an access point, it has the ability to cope with intermittent network events.

Sedimentary basin is an emerging digital ecosystem within a generic petroleum system. On the broader scale, total petroleum system (TPS, where geology has no boundaries) can virtually be envisaged as a digital petroleum ecosystem. The significance of this concept lies in connecting onshore and offshore petroleum subsystems, in a basin (e.g., Indonesian Onshore-Offshore basin, a 19,300 mi2 [50,000 -km2] transition zone), through elements and process attributes and by modeling sub-basins thru contextualization and specification concepts. In this paper, we present an ontology based data warehousing and mining technology in which, conceptualization and contextualization of multiple data dimensions are modeled within a sedimentary basin (e.g., elements and processes of all petroleum systems, existing within basin). In addition to their integration within a data warehouse environment, data mining and visualization of interpretable data views that emerge from petroleum digital ecosystems are made feasible. Multidimensional data warehousing and mining models facilitate an effective interpretation of petroleum ecosystems, minimizing the ambiguities involved during knowledge mapping of geological structure and reservoir qualities - not only for exploration and field development planning, but also for reserve estimations.","PeriodicalId":6312,"journal":{"name":"2013 11th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics (INDIN)","volume":"13 1","pages":"541-546"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77503539","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}
