DEXML: A First Step Toward a UML Based Implementation Framework for PLCS
2011
Data exchange specifications not only must be broad and general to achieve acceptance, but also must be customizable in a controlled and interoperable manner to be useful. The Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS) suite of data exchange specifications (known as DEXs) uses templates to enable controlled customizability without sacrificing breadth or interoperability. DEXs are business context-specific subsets of ISO 10303 Application Protocol (AP) 239, subject to additional constraints imposed by the templates. A PLCS template defines how AP239 entities and their attributes will be instantiated using an externally-defined controlled vocabulary defined in a Reference Data Library. Template instan…
Providing QOS in 3G-WLAN environment with RSVP and DIFFSERV
2006
Here we present the end-to-end QoS mechanism in 3G-multiaccess network environment. As multi-access wireless WLAN and wired xDSL wideband multi-access technologies has emerge and become more popular a need for interoperability with different technologies and domains has become necessity. There is also a need for end-to-end QoS management. We show a scenario where the UE-GGSN connection is covered by RSVP and RAN network part uses partial over dimensioning and real-time controlled ATM queuing. DiffServ covers WLAN-Core QoS and radio interface between WLAN AP and WLAN UE uses IEEE's 802.11e. Our interest is to find out how well 3G traffic classes can survive in different traffic conditions in…
A SOA-based health service platform in smart home environment
2011
The increasing demand for a good healthcare quality has brought Information and Communication Technology to an important role in healthcare domain. The trend in decreasing number of formal healthcare workers gives further pressure to move non-urgent treatments to the patients' homes. However, delivering healthcare services to meet the changing needs of inhabitants in a smart home requires an open and flexible service creation and integration environment so that the modification of existing services as well as creation of new services can be achieved in a timely manner. This paper presents a vision of a logical integration platform in a smart home environment, integrating various devices and…
Towards global service level guarantee within autonomic computing systems
2011
International audience; In this paper, we specify a global service level guarantee including not only QoS but also security and taking into account user mobility. This global service level could be guaranteed within several autonomic computing systems managed by different autonomic domain managers. For that purpose, we propose an end-to-end Service Level Negotiation Protocol, called SLNP, to provide those autonomic managers with a negotiation capability. This allows achieving an agreement on the service level of each offered service between the different domains involved in the transport of that service. SLNP Implementation is made of Web Services technologies to enable interoperability in …
Guest Editorial Special Section on Recent Trends and Developments in Industry 4.0 Motivated Robotic Solutions
2018
The twelve papers in this special section focus on the development of robotic solutions for smart factories in industry - the concept of the fourth industrial revolution (industry 4.0). The inclusion of robotics is expected to deeply change the future manufacturing and production processes, and lead to smart factories that will benefit from the main design principles of Industry 4.0: interoperability, virtualization, decentralization, real-time capability, service orientation, and modularity. Robotics will have a key role in this development since innovative technologies and solutions, traditionally associated with the service robotics sector, are going to migrate to industrial smarter robo…
Similarity estimation module for OWSCIS
2008
Semantic interoperability based on ontologies is nowadays becoming a great challenge. We propose an architecture for semantic-based cooperation called OWSCIS (Ontology and Web Service based Cooperation of Information Sources). It allows to map various information sources using ontologies and to answer users' queries over the cooperation. In this paper we focus on the similarity estimation service of the OWSCIS Architecture which allows to discover mappings between different ontologies. It relies on various mappings methods which are combined and refined to semi-automatically generate mappings between a local and a reference ontologies.
Mobile agents and grid computing
2004
Publisher Summary This chapter describes mobile agents as an effective solution for grid service provision. A short overview is first introduced on the grid paradigm and the most known research activities in the field. Then, mobile agents are discussed and a comparison with the remote procedure call (RPC) method is made as far as the most effective solution to minimize network overload and fault occurrences is concerned. The common feature of all grid architectures is a coordinated and controlled resource sharing between the members of a dynamic multi-institutional virtual community. Community members agree on a set of sharing rules and permissions, by which resources to be shared and membe…
A multiple layered functional data model to support multiple representations and interoperability of GIS
2001
This paper presents a multi-layered functional data model to support multiple representation and information sharing among distributed spatial information systems. The key idea is that a geographical space (foe example an urban space) can be viewed as a set of abstract spatial functionalities on which different application classes can be derived to manipulate objects of the same geographical space and share the same abstract generic functionalities. The object classes define multiple views or representations of a domain. For example in urban management, transportation systems, water supply and sewage systems applications can share generic network functionalities defined by graph treversal o…
Accessibility on the web: planning and conformance
2021
In order to give everyone the chance to access, enjoy, create and share content on the web, it is necessary to design “interoperable” interaction systems, i.e., always reliable both in different contexts of use and in the presence of different input modes. For this purpose, UX/UI designers need to acquire specific skills in the field of web standards and in writing HTML, CSS, and Javascript languages, which are fundamental for the design of accessible web components.
Predictions in Resilient Hybrid AC/DC Grids Leveraged by an Interoperable and Secure ICT Platform
2022
Power systems are undergoing a significant change and the main elements to address the new challenges is the new key-role played by the distribution grid and its transformation into a smart grid. While the distribution grid has traditionally operated with alternating current (AC), nowadays most devices operate with DC internally, and most distributed renewable resources generate power in DC. Furthermore, storage components, such as batteries and supercapacitors, have a DC character. DC seems to be the one of the most promising candidates to avoid stranded investments and to guarantee incredible saving for the community in Europe, making the transition to a fully decarbonised energy system a…
