“…The third generation of industrial automation is currently investigated by several research projects [3][4][5][6] and primarily focuses on the use of open, standardized protocols for the interconnection of manufacturing devices and a higher flexibility of the entire organization of an industrial enterprise. Consequently, the third generation of industrial automation can be regarded as interaction-dominated.…”

The use of web services in industrial automation, e.g. in fully automated production processes like car manufacturing, promises simplified interaction among the manufacturing devices due to standardized protocols and increased flexibility with respect to process implementation and reengineering. Moreover, the adoption of web services as a seamless communication backbone within the overall industrial enterprise has additional benefits, such as simplified interaction with suppliers and customers (i.e. horizontal integration) and avoidance of a break in the communication paradigm within the enterprise (i.e. vertical integration).The Time-Constrained Services (TiCS) framework is a development and execution environment that empowers automation engineers to develop, deploy, publish, compose, and invoke time-constrained web services. TiCS consists of four functional layers-tool support layer, real-time infrastructural layer, real-time service layer, and hardware layerwhich contain several components to meet the demands of a web service based automation infrastructure. This article gives an overview of the TiCS framework. More precisely, the general design considerations and an architectural blueprint of the TiCS framework are presented. Subsequently, selected key components of the TiCS framework are discussed in detail: the SOAP4PLC engine for equipping programmable logic controllers with a web service interface, the SOAP4IPC engine for processing web services in realtime on industrial PCs, the WS-TemporalPolicy language for describing time constraints, and the TiCS Modeler for composing time-constrained web services into a time-constrained BPEL4WS workflow.

“…The External Adapter plugs a hardware adapter onto the device, which a) exports the device functionality as service, and b) enables the networkability of the device (e.g., if the device is equipped with a serial hardware interface only). This was successfully realized by using a XPORT adapter in [14].…”

Service oriented device architecture (SODA) is a promising approach for overcoming interoperability issues and especially for extending the IT support of business processes to devices. It is based on the encapsulation of devices as services, and therefore on design principles of service oriented architectures (SOA). However, there is a lack of generalized concepts that resolve SODA-specific design problems. This paper contributes to this research gap by a) identifying a set of SODA-specific design problems, b) analyzing existing SOA design patterns regarding their applicability for SODA, and c) proposing a set of new pattern candidates which resolve open SODA design problems.

“…In order to achieve this firstly, the appropriate technological conditions must be created in the production elements which will enable the present physical barriers preventing them to be considered with the requisite level of abstraction. This process is one of the corner stones of the proposal and we have called it the industrial machinery normalisation process [3].…”

“…Despite this fact, it is nevertheless true that in other business sectors such as financial management and resource management (ERP), customer service (CRM) or on-line sales (eCommerce), mature technologies which grew up with Internet have been introduced -n-tiers architectures, both business to customer (B2C) and business to business (B2B), approaches based on middleware or service oriented architectures (SOA)-and these have overcome the traditional barriers which prevented the alignment of business strategies with the tastes and needs of clients [2] [3].…”

Abstract-In this paper is proposed a service model for the industrial machinery which provides a design pattern which details, classifies and organises the services that ideally the machine should possess in order to facilitate its selfmanagement and proactive management of the business logic for which it is responsible. This pattern also establishes those services which will enable the machine to communicate and cooperate with other machines or manufacturing elements, as well as with the remaining business processes. The proposed pattern are based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web Services extensions (WS-*) in order to ensure that the industrial machinery attains high levels of self management and especially so that it can show the rest of the organisation and from a perspective of functionality, in a normalised manner, overcoming barriers imposed by technological and physical restrictions typical of these components and which traditionally have kept them isolated from the general business model.
