Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the last decades, industrial automation has become a driving force in all production systems. Technologies and architectures have emerged alongside the growing organisational structures of production plants. Every innovation had to start from the latest state-of-the-art systems within the respective domain. While investigating the introduction of service-oriented architectures to automation, and even down to the shop floor, one has to consider latest standards, proofed technologies, industrial solutions and latest research works in the automation domain. This chapter tries, without any claim to completeness, to provide a short summary of today’s situation and trends in automation.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The use of Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs) in industrial automation promises an improved cross-layer integration as well as a functionality decoupled from the technical implementation. Compared with the earlier investigated manufacturing industry, control systems in the process industry reveal additional challenges in terms of migration from a legacy control system to an SOA control system.The successful migration of a highly integrated process control system, without reducing reliability or availability and, at the same time, preserving functionality and productivity, requires a detailed plan and certain specialised technology.This paper presents the challenges in the migration of a process control system and proposes a structured method for migration. The migration procedure proposed comprises four steps: initiation, configuration, data processing, and control execution. A technology demonstration at a pelletizing plant illustrates how the first of these steps could be implemented.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Industrial Revolution, which originally involved the change from an agrarian and handicraft economy to a market dominated by factory mechanization during the early 18th century, has profoundly shaped the world. It has progressed through four disruptive phases: Industry 1.0 through Industry 4.0. Industry 1.0 encompassed early automation, while Industry 2.0 began at the end of the 19th century, when enormous technological advances were made, such as mass production, electrification, and new modes of transportation. Industry 3.0 began during the 1970s, a decade that gave rise to the electronics, telecommunications, and computing that enable full automation and robotics. Industry 4.0 kicked off at the dawn of the third millennium, marked by the ubiquitous use of Internet technologies, which have radically transformed how people, society, and industry interact.

Technologies for SOA-based distributed large scale process monitoring and control systems
- 2012
-
In: Proceeding IEE IECON 2012. - Montreal : IEEE Communications Society. ; , s. 5803-5808
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In a SOA-based system the applications are organized in a manner such that interoperable services can be used from different domains. In a process industry context, different domains can refer to, for example, process instrumentation and monitoring, execution of process control, data acquisition, etc. Large process industry systems are a complex and potentially very large sets of multi-disciplinary, heterogeneous, networked distributed systems. Current industrial process control systems are typically vendor specific; in addition the different domains are associated with different layers, different standards and different technologies. In the paper the authors report about the investigations and assessments performed to find answers for four major critical questions that arise as key when technologies have to be selected and used in a true Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based distributed large scale Process Monitoring and Control system: (1) Real-time SOA (what are the limits of bringing SOA into high performance control loops?); (2) Management of large scale industrial distributed control systems (is it feasible to manage up to tens of thousands of service-oriented devices?); (3) Distributed event-based systems are asynchronous (what are the limits compared to traditional periodic scanning systems?) and (4) Service specification (which semantics are the most suitable for specifying process control and monitoring services?).

A SOA-based architecture for empowering future collaborative cloud-based industrial automation
- 2012

In: IECON 2012. - Piscataway, NJ : IEEE Communications Society. - 9781467324212 ; , s. 5770-5775

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The last years we are witnessing of rapid advances in the industrial automation domain, mainly driven by business needs towards agility and supported by new disruptive tech- nologies. Future factories will rely on multi-system interactions and collaborative cross-layer management and automation ap- proaches. Such a factory, configured and managed from archi- tectural and behavioural viewpoints, under the service-oriented architecture (SOA) paradigm is virtualized by services exposed by its key components (both HW and SW). One of the main results of this virtualization is that the factory is transformed into a ”cloud of services”, where dynamic resource allocation and interactions take place. This paper presents a view on such architecture, its specification, the main motivation and considerations, as well as the preliminary services it may need to support.

Towards an architecture for service-oriented process monitoring and control

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The initiative AESOP (ArchitecturE for Service-Oriented Process-Monitoring and - Control) envisions a Service-oriented Architecture approach for monitoring and control of Process Control applications (batch and continuous process). Large process industry systems are a complex (potentially very large) set of (frequently) multi-disciplinary, connected, heterogeneous systems that function as a complex system of which the components are themselves systems. The future "Perfect Plant" will be able to seamlessly collaborate and enable monitoring and control information flow in a cross-layer way. As such the different systems will be part of an SCADA/DCS ecosystem, where components can be dynamically added or removed and dynamic discovery enables the on-demand information combination and collaboration. All current and future systems will be able to share information in a timely and open manner, enabling an enterprise-wide system of systems that will dynamically evolve based on business needs. The SOA-based approach proposed by AESOP can, on one hand, simplify the integration of monitoring and control systems on application layer. On the other hand, the networking technologies that are already known to control engineers could also simplify the inclusion of or migration from existing solutions and integration of the next generation SCADA and DCS systems at network layer

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Today’s process industries typically utilise a verylarge set of multi-disciplinary, connected, heterogeneous systemscomposed of a large number of components, from individualsensors to whole control, monitoring and supervisory controlsystems. The use of such process control systems spans a widerange of application domains from traditional process industriesto power distribution and residential applications. Regardless ofthe application, the design, implementation, optimised operation,maintenance and monitoring of such complex systems is oftendifficult to effectively achieve. Therefore, there is a need for themigration of such systems to scalable and modular plug and playplatforms supported by effective engineering tools.This paper outlines a distributed modular service-basedapproach to the implementation of a real-time residentialautomation system application composed of heating, homeautomation and vehicle parking systems. The main focus of thispaper is on the design and simulation of this System of Systems(SoS) focusing on the home parking, heating and vehiclemonitoring application components and their interactions. Theuse of a component-based engineering approach is reported onproviding 3D modelling and simulation capabilities prior to thephysical implementation of the system, and from which theorchestration logic can be automatically generated. A potentialtoolkit for SOA-based application design and deployment issuggested.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Current implemented manufacturing and continuous production process systems are strongly being influenced by the fusion of mechatronics, communication, control and information technologies [2][3][4][5]. The miniaturization of control and automation devices with embedded intelligence is transforming the production systems into a very large infrastructure, where different systems interact in a structural and behavioral manner for pursuing common goals [17][16]. The result is a very large complex system-of systems (SoS) [19][24]. The application of the service-oriented architecture paradigm is appearing as a promising approach to develop and implement the control and management of those SoS [26].This paper describes an approach to support the engineering of service-oriented based Industrial System-of-Systems and presents the first results of application of the approach to a real heterogeneous system composed of a district-heating, transportation and an electrical power distribution system.
