Real-world Service Interaction with Enterprise Systems in Dynamic Manufacturing Environments

Industrial automation based on cyber-physical systems technologies: Prototype implementations and challenges

“…Among others, this means that low cost devices (i.e., in the range of a few Euro) can communicate and exchange data and information (represented as ''services'') directly to higher-level systems like SCADA, MES and ERP. Within SOCRADES a full-fledged architecture for integration of CPS to enterprise systems and services has been designed, implemented and assessed, as analyzed by Karnouskos et al [47].…”

“…In SOCRADES, a kind of Petri nets [48] tailored for formalizing orchestration mechanisms was developed and prototyped, embedding the engine into smart embedded I/O devices of the SOA-technology provider Schneider Electric Automation. More information about the Petri net modeling tool and the capabilities of the embedded orchestration engine, is analyzed by Mendes et al [49], while the integration with enterprise systems is analyzed by Karnouskos et al [47].…”

“…Although these aspects cannot be expanded in detail here due to space requirements, several examples have been published that demonstrate the benefits of the SOCRADES approach e.g. Mendes et al [49], Karnouskos et al [50], Karnouskos et al [47], Colombo and Karnouskos [9]. In addition, some videos explaining the benefits and hands-on examples are available in YouTube 2 .…”

Probabilistic registration for large-scale mobile participatory sensing

“…Existing solutions for registering devices as services adopt traditional discovery techniques where all devices register their information and their service metadata in order to be accessible, such as the work in [16]- [18]. Hence, devices register their services without taking the characteristics of the network and the density of registered services into account.…”

“…Further, in many existing works related to Wireless Sensor Networks, devices are grouped in small local networks, and they discover and communicate with each other directly [16], [17]. The direct relation among sensors is not applicable in our case for many reasons, including that the request for information does not necessarily come from the same region where devices providing sensing services are, and the devices are spread over large areas, and are thus not able to discover and communicate with each other directly to determine which of them should register.…”
