The IEC 61499 standard has been proposed for development of next-generation industrial automation systems to support portability, interoperability, and configurability. Compared with the traditional IEC 61131-3 standard, it provides an open reference architecture with some key features: object-oriented modeling by using function blocks as basic elements, and event-driven execution by using data/events as input/output. Recently IEC 61499 has been integrated with its enabling technologies to realize distributed intelligent automation for industrial cyber-physical systems. In this paper, two perspectives are provided through analysis of recent research: a) design paradigms for IEC 61499, including object-oriented design, component-based design, and service-oriented architecture; and b) computing paradigms for IEC 61499, including distributed intelligence, autonomic computing, and cloud computing. Future research trends are also outlined as a conclusion.

The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm poses a great variety of application domains where million of devices work uninterruptedly to improve some aspect of our lives. To support the continuous execution of the applications working on the devices, energy harvesting systems enable to extract the energy found naturally in the environment (for instance from the sun or from the wind) and convert it into energy able to either sustain the device’s operation and recharge its batteries which, in conjunction with an appropriate scheduling strategy, led to the device to an electrically sustainable state (i.e. an energy-neutral state). Most of the works found in literature oriented to achieve energy neutrality are however evaluated by means of simulation which means that, in spite of precisely modeling hardware features and energy productions, lack of the realism that we find in a real deployment. A minor part of the works are based on a real deployment but do not share the collected data that permit to replicate the analysis. With this purpose in mind, in this article we describe a testbed designed for outdoor monitoring purposes in the IoT context, equipped with several sensors for weather conditions monitoring and with a solar panel to provide application lifetimes potentially infinite. The testbed was deployed on the roof of a building and it executed uninterruptedly an application able to generate a dataset with the collected information over a period of more than two months. This dataset has been online published to be used for different researching purposes, as for instance, prediction models of the energy production.

The paper demonstrates a new approach to the nonlinear control of a tracked robotic platform. As a control object, a tracked mobile robot chosen because, among other ground vehicles, it is the most maneuverable and designed to work in conditions of limited space. To take into account the nonlinear characteristics of the control object, the article deals with the analysis of a mathematical model of a mobile robotic platform. Also, provides an overview of modern methods and approaches to the control of tracked robotic platform. The problems of controlling the mobile robot are highlighted, in particular, the application of methods and approaches based on the application of system linearization methods, which makes a robotic system with these control laws limited to certain local control algorithms. Therefore, the paper presents an explanation of the use of new non-linear approaches to the mobile robots control, in particular, synergetic control theory. The main method, within the framework of this theory, is the method of analytical design of aggregated regulators (ADAR), which allows to synthesize control laws for complex nonlinear systems of large dimensionality without using linearization procedures or other simplifications, so this method is used to synthesize the synergetic control law of a mobile robot. The resulting control laws takes into account the nonlinear properties of the mobile robotic platform model; therefore, this control strategy ensures the asymptotic stability of the close-loop system and the precise execution of the specified invariants. To verify the resulting system, computer simulation is used. The simulation results confirm that in the synthesized closed-loop mobile robot control system, movement to a given point of the working plane with a given angle of orientation of the platform is provided.

Renewable energies lead to a decentralization of power generation but also to a destabilization of the power grid, as photovoltaic or wind turbine systems provide nearly zero inertia that is essential for a stable power grid. Leveraging consumer devices to support already present grid control systems counter the growing grid instability. These devices may adapt their power consumption continuously, rather than erratic on-off switching, to provide a grid-friendly stabilization effect. Simulations with a grid model of Continental Europe and multiple consumer load control schemes with different consumer-impact levels were performed to analyze stabilization effect and user tolerability. The results show effective stabilization by the tested consumer load control schemes during a reference incident, allowing them to be used for various devices and device groups. Additional, the simulations proved the scalability of the proposed control algorithms.

Multivariate statistical process monitoring (MSPM) have been applied to process monitoring for industrial processes. The conventional method for a statistical monitoring model is principal component analysis (PCA). However, this is not sufficient to extract meaningful information in non-Gaussian data, which is the property of the process data in many industrial processes. Alternatively, the modified independent component analysis (MICA) method can be used to give meaningful information up to higher order statistics, which improves some drawbacks of independent component analysis (ICA) method. In this paper, we propose a protocol to monitor a chatter phenomenon in a hot strip mill process (HSMP) based on modified independent component analysis (MICA). First, we develop the chatter index (CI) that represent the degree of a chatter numerically. The statistical monitoring model for a chatter detection is constructed by using the chatter-free data, which is classified by CI. From the chatter monitoring model, a chatter detection rate of 86.7% is achieved.

Emergency service vehicles like ambulance, fire, police etc. should respond to emergencies on time. Existing barriers like increased congestion, multiple signalized intersections, queued vehicles, traffic phase timing etc. can prevent emergency vehicles (EVs) achieving desired response times. Existing solutions to route EVs have not been successful because they do not use dynamic traffic parameters. Real time information on increased congestion, halts on road, pedestrian flow, queued vehicles, real and adaptive speed, can be used to properly actuate pre-emption and minimise the impact that EV movement can have on other traffic.Smart cities provide the necessary infrastructure to enable two critical factors in EV routing: real-time traffic data and connectivity. In addition, using autonomous vehicles (AVs) in place of normal emergency service vehicles can have further advantages in terms of safety and adaptability in smart city environments. AVs feature several sensors and connectivity that can help them make real-time decisions. We propose a novel idea of using autonomous emergency vehicles (AEVs) that can meet the critical response time and drive through a complex road network in smart cities efficiently and safely. This is achieved by considering traffic network analogous to real-time systems (RTS) where we use mixed-criticality real-time system (MCRTS) task scheduling to schedule AEVs for meeting response time.

In industry, individualization leads to a slow replacement of assembly line production with more flexible modular assembly systems. In modular systems, each product can be completed on multiple routes through a grid of modular workstations, where transportation is handled by automated guided vehicles (AGV). In order to benefit from this routing flexibility and to react on disturbances in the system, new robust control approaches are crucial. While optimizing the production flow globally is limited by computing power, this work presents a decentralized control approach that reduces complexity by dividing the problem into sub-problems: A job release agent releases jobs at certain points in time according to the system’s inventory level. Each job in the system is linked to a job routing agent regularly choosing the optimal route out of the options given by the product’s flexibility. Every modular station is represented by a workstation agent optimizing the workstation’s schedule. Lastly, a vehicle agent assigns transports optimally to the AGVs and coordinates them accordingly. An evaluation example emphasized the decentralized approach as a valid way for real-time robust control solutions, where the makespan was about five percent away from the static optimum.
