The paper presents the work in progress of a project funded by the European Commission's aimed at enabling the integration between software components running on onboard truck terminals and ground based information systems to increase safety, efficiency and quality of road infrastructures. Despite the fact that the system originates in a automotive context, the architecture can be used for a wide...
This paper compares the fieldbus protocols LIN 1.3, LIN 2.07 and TTP/A to the requirements of low-cost body electronic networks in the automotive domain. The examined protocols all aim at distributed smart sensor/actuator networks and provide support for low-cost implementation on standard microcontroller nodes. LIN comes with a rigid specification of the physical layer in order to support interoperability...
Power awareness and quality of service (QoS) integration in wireless systems are two of the main research activities in wireless systems today. As frameworks are developed to handle dynamic reconfiguration, the need for a power optimization methodology to investigate alternative cross-layer configurations is imposed as critical. However, as networks become more complex and energy savings become critical,...
This paper outlines the perspectives opened by the application of the service-orientation paradigm for realizing high-level communications between next-generation, increasingly intelligent embedded devices - it indicates how this approach can benefit the manufacturing industry - and outlines the issues and approaches for cohesively coordinating manufacturing services at various levels of the manufacturing...
Enterprise integration is significant for the enforcement of novel business models in an enterprise/industry. The great heterogeneity of systems/applications in the enterprise environment requires the introduction of interoperability aspects in order to resolve integration problems in a flexible and dynamic way. Our approach introduces an advanced enterprise semantic model representing both enterprise...
In the SIRENA project, the service oriented approach is used to connect devices using Web services or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). In this environment, resources are scarce, and near real time behaviour and high reliability without user intervention is needed. At least in our context an interface design for service oriented architecture should not use a classical object oriented method decomposition...
An integrated approach for the interoperation between two heterogeneous fieldbus systems, i.e. Profibus-DP and HART is proposed and implemented through a fieldbus protocol conversion gateway, which possesses not only high real-time performance but also an open architecture. The proposed approach introduces a communication model between heterogeneous fieldbus devices, based on analyzing of the layered...
Ontologies present a state-of-the-art technology for the provision of machine-readable semantics. Its utilization for the annotation of end-to-end enterprise/industrial processes characterizing advanced collaborative business models, largely contributes to enterprise interoperability, flexibility and component reusability. Our work in this paper emphasizes on the use of ontologies in combination with...
