“…The EventHandler system and the Data-Manager system also permit verification and monitoring during runtime. In addition, there are core systems that are under development, such as the Translator, WorkflowManager, and WorkflowExecutor [50] that provide runtime features to increase the interoperability and dynamic automation, respectively.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) has gained popularity and is increasingly used in large scale deployments for industrial applications. Such deployments rely on the flexibility and scalability of systems and devices. Heterogeneous systems need to be interoperable and work together seamlessly. In order to manage such system of systems, it is important to work with a framework that not only supports the flexible nature of IoT systems but also provides adequate support for industrial requirements, such as real-time and runtime features, architectural approaches, hardware constraints, standardization, industrial support, interoperability, and security. The selection of an appropriate framework results difficult due to the rising number of available frameworks and platforms, which offer different support for the aforementioned requirements. Therefore, this article investigates the features of seven prominent frameworks for the purpose of simplifying the selection of a suitable framework for an industrial application. The aim of this article is to present the recent developments and state-of-the-art of industrial IoT frameworks and provide a technical comparison of their features and characteristics. Index Terms-Frameworks, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), system of systems (SoS).

“…To make this more convenient, Kalix allows for the specification of what we refer to as Data Transmission Object (DTO) specifications, which are converted by a Java annotation processor into concrete classes that can be encoded to and decoded from supported encodings. 4 An example of a simple DTO specification named Message is given in Listing 1. Listing 1.…”

“…Being a significant part of European Union projects such as Productive 4.0 1 and Arrowhead Tools 2 , Eclipse Arrowhead [1] [2] has become a major research and engineering effort, aiming to be a facilitator of the considerable complexity envisioned for the Industry 4.0 paradigm [3]. As the number of projects involving Arrowhead continues to increase, with examples ranging from industrial production workflow management [4] to service orchestration controlled by ontological models [5], the incentive for producing time-saving tools and artifacts is growing stronger. Arrowhead Kalix, the subject of this paper, is a Java 11 library that aims to reduce the time required to learn about and create Arrowhead-compliant systems by providing abstractions tightly matching key Arrowhead concepts.…”

Eclipse Arrowhead, an upcoming open source framework for designing cyber-physical system-of-systems, is starting to become complete enough to be the subject of serious evaluation and prototyping. As a consequence, it has become increasingly pertinent to provide software that makes it straightforward to use and learn it. To address this, we here present Arrowhead Kalix, a Java 11 library designed for the efficient and effective development of correct, concise and relatively performant Arrowhead-compliant systems. In this paper, we outline the philosophy behind the design of the library, its architecture, its fundamental components and give some examples of how it can be used. The purpose of the paper is both to educate and to provide academics using Kalix with a credible point of reference.

“…Instead, there are several platforms that support organizations with the transition, providing the infrastructure for concrete microservice solutions, e.g., FIWARE [20], Eclipse BaSyx [21], and Eclipse Arrowhead [5,22]. In this work, the use of the Eclipse Arrowhead reference implementation is associated with the research projects funding this study and the analysis that links the essential properties of "look-up", "late binding", and "loose coupling", shared by SOA and microservice architectures, to the mandatory systems of the framework [23]. A recent comparison of the most relevant initiatives related to automation and digitalization can be found in [24].…”

In an era ruled by data and information, engineers need new tools to cope with the increased complexity of industrial operations. New architectural models for industry enable open communication environments, where workflows can play a major role in providing flexible and dynamic interactions between systems. Workflows help engineers maintain precise control over their factory equipment and Information Technology (IT) services, from the initial design stages to plant operations. The current application of workflows departs from the classic business workflows that focus on office automation systems in favor of a manufacturing-oriented approach that involves direct interaction with cyber-physical systems (CPSs) on the shop floor. This paper identifies relevant industry-related challenges that hinder the adoption of workflow technology, which are classified within the context of a cohesive workflow lifecycle. The classification compares the various workflow management solutions and systems used to monitor and execute workflows. These solutions have been developed alongside the Eclipse Arrowhead framework, which provides a common infrastructure for designing systems according to the microservice architectural principles. This paper investigates and compares various solutions for workflow management and execution in light of the associated industrial requirements. Further, it compares various microservice-based approaches and their implementation. The objective is to support industrial stakeholders in their decision-making with regard to choosing among workflow management solutions.
