Oceanographic applications increasingly rely on the integration of multivariate data from diverse observational platforms, the coupling of remote sensing and field data being integral to analysis workflows. However, the inherent heterogeneity of in situ datasets and their variable adherence to meta/data standards poses a significant impediment to interoperability and long-term data stewardship. Here...
Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) is a not-for-profit society that operates and manages innovative cabled observatories which supply continuous power and Internet connectivity to scientific instruments located in coastal, deep-ocean, and Arctic environments. The data from the instruments are archived, quality-controlled, and made freely available to researchers, educators, and the public. The Oceans 2.0...
The flood of alarms produced by Point-of-Care (PoC) medical devices in intensive care units (ICUs) and operating rooms (ORs) is a crucial issue of today's hospitals. Alarm fatigue and desensitization leads to the death of patients, noise worsens the patient's recovery process and causes burnout syndromes of caregivers, etc. Much research has been done in the last years to reduce false alarms and noise...
Lack of healthcare infrastructure has caused millions of deaths in developing countries. People in such countries generally suffer from infectious diseases and are denied treatment at appropriate time or not warned about emerging epidemics. This mainly happens because of poor establishment of public health services, lack of access to health statistics and nonexistence of precise medical data. The...
The methodological aspects of building standardized profiles describing the development of a security system that is an integral part of a distributed information system are considered. Functional standardization instruments and the theory of open systems are used.
The standard and real-time communication technology is an unalloyed inevitability for the development of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. However, the selection of a standard and effective messaging protocol is a challenging and daunting task for any organisation because it depends on the nature of the IoT system and its messaging requirements. Copious messaging protocols have been developed...
The proposal of the Mexican standard for interoperability is intended to support higher education institutions on implementing inter-institutional collaboration schemes through interoperability of software systems aimed to store and display learning objects. The proposal consists of four volumes: Volume 1. Theoretical Framework for Interoperability of Learning Objects Environments, Volume 2. Determination...
The IEEE 1516-2010 — Standard for Modeling and Simulation High Level Architecture (HLA) range of standards are widely used for distributed simulation, interoperability, reusability and the modeling of large-scale systems in many application domains. Although it provides several advantages, the development of distributed simulations based on the HLA standards remains a challenging task that requires...
Internet of Things is a growing market. Given the keen interest wide public is showing, manufacturers keep launching new models and types each day, trying to connect the real world to Internet. However, while trying to connect everything in our life, manufacturers are facing new challenges that may impact this market growth. In this work, we tackle these challenges and how we can face them by proposing...
Paper presents a solution providing OPC UA connectivity from a common web user using web technologies. Integration of OPC UA with the web may represent an important contribution to enhance its interoperability, allowing integration with web applications, IoT and WoT. The main difference with the solutions available in literature is that user may have no knowledge of OPC UA standard. A web-based platform...
Framing Internet of Things (IoT) applications as a System of Systems (SoS) can help us make sense of complexity associated with interoperability and emergence. However, assessing the risk of SoSs is a challenge due to the independence of component systems, and their differing degrees of control and emergence. This paper presents three components for SoS risk assessment that integrate with existing...
This paper presents differential pressure based flow configuration software implemented using FDT2 technology. FDT2 is a latest version of FDT standard (IEC62453) which is useful for configuration, monitoring, diagnosis and asset management of field device. Using FDT2 technology, client server system for flow configuration will be achieved keeping the interoperability of host system. The original...
The Ecuadorian electricity sector is a strategic area of the country, whose general objective is to Generate, Transmit, Distribute and Commercialize electrical energy. In 2009, the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy (MEER) and the Electric Utilities of Ecuador signed an agreement for institutional cooperation to strengthen the electricity distribution sector with the objective of achieving...
The Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) is a modern instrument that measures magnitude, phase angle, frequency and rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) from voltage and current signals in electric networks. It is designed to be used in the monitoring and control of electric transmission systems. For each measurement, the PMU assigns a timestamp from an accurate time source; in this way, it is possible to...
Fusion imaging promises to improve medical diagnosisand treatment by combining data from multiple imaging modalities, thus overcoming the limitations of any single modality. However, fusion imaging presents new technical challenges stemming from the fact that existing information exchange architectures may not support the collection and processing of data that is produced at different times and in...
The interoperability test between electric vehicle and charging equipment plays an important role on the popularization and application of electric vehicles. The principle of control pilot circuit of charging equipment is introduced firstly. Based on new national standard and the new charging interoperability test specification, the interoperability testing device of A.C. charging spot is designed...
Cyber physical Systems (CPS) are a key technology to enable the development of highly automated and autonomous maritime systems. The development of new complex and distributed safety-critical systems increases the challenges of testing due to a variety of Verification and Validation (V+V) methods, strictly required confidence to functional correctness of heterogenous cooperating systems and management...
Mininet is the de-facto standard simulation environment for experimenting with SDN enabled networks based on the OpenFlow protocol. Although Mininet is powerful and not resource hungry, it has a strong limitation: it is not possible to use it for networks in which both OpenFlow and standard distributed routing protocols (e.g. Open Short Path First, OSPF) simultaneously run. In this paper we present...
