Provides an abstract for each of the keynote presentations and a brief professional biography of each presenter. The complete presentations were not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings.
Several IoT platforms, with support for a rich set of device libraries, facilitate rapid development of embedded IoT applications. But, none of the approaches deal with the analysis of performance characteristics. An example is the early timing validation of IoT use cases in specialized timing analysis tools. Addressing this gap, a generic workflow for a quick, early model-driven, system-level timing...
Wireless sensors are increasingly being used for smart Buildings. LoRa is a chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technology. Its CSS modulation provides wide bandwidth, increased processing gain and higher receiver sensitivity. Propagation analysis of this long-range low power wireless platform is essential to make it a prevailing technology of choice for IoT. This paper empirically evaluates the indoor propagation...
Industry 4.0 is opening new avenues for reconfigurable and information-centric integration of enterprise functions and control systems. Most of the current approaches (e.g., ISA-95) view enterprise architectures in a pre-defined, monolithic, and hierarchical sense. To enable more innovative, personalized, and efficient manufacturing processes, however, such ‘tree-like’ architectures must turn into...
The Internet of Things concept is increasingly being used in projects from different areas. Often, projects encompass applications from different domains that need to share information for a common purpose. These types of systems can become complex because they involve different domains and it can be difficult to share information without misinterpreting certain information. Ontologies can be a way...
Industrial Internet of Things covers all aspects of networked intelligent manufacturing systems. This means covering a wide array of application domains and user requirements. In such scenarios it is not feasible to define a single protocol for all situations. Hence, a multi-protocol approach is required. OPC UA has strong backing from Industry 4.0 as the protocol for the Industrial Internet of Things...
In recent years, model-based testing (MBT) of automation systems has gained in importance. However, increasing size and complexity of manufacturing plants also lead to larger models, which again cost time and manpower for modeling tasks. An approach to solve this problem is to subdivide the overall model into several separated models of usual components of automation systems which are reusable. Therefore,...
Mixed-criticality cyber physical system provides great advantages in terms of cost, dependability, scalability and competitiveness. However, especially due to shared resources, the certification of these kind of systems is still challenging. Furthermore if the power management is integrated in the system, compliance with safety and security is even more complex. This paper presents the safety concept...
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) could be the most modern electronic development as yet, thanks to the integration of information and communication technology (ICT). CPS has associated with computer systems (cyber part) which are closely related to the real-world processes (physical part). A CPS is supported by the newest and foreseeable further advances of computer science, data and communication equipment...
Cloud computing offers the opportunity to minimize the evaluation time of complex algorithms — e.g. needed for computational imaging — by horizontal scaling of the available computing resources. By this way, new image analyzing algorithms can be employed in weak real-time conditions, like inline quality analysis in production with time stamps in the order of several tens of seconds. The cloud offers...
Until recently, IT security received limited attention within the scope of Process Control Systems (PCS). In the past, PCS consisted of isolated, specialized components running closed process control applications, where hardware was placed in physically secured locations and connections to remote network infrastructures were forbidden. Nowadays, industrial communications are fully exploiting the plethora...
Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are key enabling technologies for the fourth industrial revolution, referred to as Industrie 4.0 or Industry 4.0. The Reference Architecture Model Industrie 4.0 (RAMI4.0) has recently been standardized and OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is listed as the sole recommendation for implementation of a communication layer. Many automation and control systems offer already...
Multi-agent systems (MAS) are a promising technology for solving the challenges posed by the trend towards increasing digitalization — Industrie 4.0, Industrial Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical Systems or Smart Grids. In spite of this promise and many showcases and prototypes, multi-agent systems are not widely applied in industry nowadays. Reasons for this are for example lacking trust in the technology...
The report sets out the methodology of computer-aided design of operating the workpiece (OW), a concept which is: use the added solids, CAD-electronic system of geometric models of OW in parallel with the establishment of parametric models of OW, built-in CAD macro system for calculating operational sizes and the use of a single informational space. The implementation of methods allows you to increase...
Several research and development activities have been, are, and will be conducted towards the development of agile production systems. All of the will had, have, and will have their individual rationales, aims, and reached results. To enable comparability and a broader application of reached results means for representation of the application field of the research activity are required. As most research...
