Wireless sensors are increasingly being used for smart Buildings. LoRa is a chirp spread spectrum (CSS) technology. Its CSS modulation provides wide bandwidth, increased processing gain and higher receiver sensitivity. Propagation analysis of this long-range low power wireless platform is essential to make it a prevailing technology of choice for IoT. This paper empirically evaluates the indoor propagation performance of LoRa. The practical measurements were critically analyzed against four propagation models; ITU site generic, log-distance, multi-wall and 3D ray tracing. Data was collected in the Hanover building at Glasgow Caledonian University using the LoRa transceivers. The aims of this research were (1) to assess the indoor propagation performance of LoRa technology and (2) to identify the model that best describes the indoor propagation of LoRa. The study concluded that multi-wall has the best overall performance amongst the models. This research work will facilitate the link budget design, network implementation and coverage diagnosis in similar indoor scenarios.

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, combined with developments in neuromorphic hardware technologies and ubiquitous computing, promote machines to emulate human perceptual and cognitive abilities in a way that will continue the trend of automation for several upcoming decades. Despite the gloomy scenario of automation as a job eliminator, we argue humans and machines can cross-fertilise in a way that forwards a cooperative coexistence. We build our argument on three pillars: (i) the economic mechanism of automation, (ii) the dichotomy of ‘experience’ that separates the first-person perspective of humans from artificial learning algorithms, and (iii) the interdependent relationship between humans and machines. To realise this vision, policy makers have to implement alternative educational approaches that support lifelong training and flexible job transitions.

In general, dynamic systems are systems with time-dependent behavior. Dynamic systems are characterized by the non-stationary data sequences they emit. One particular way to model these non-stationary sequences is to consider them as a sequence of stationary segments, regimes, where each regime is separated by regime switching points from both the preceding and subsequent regimes. In system identification and monitoring applications, it is crucial to correctly and timely detect these regime switching points. One promising estimation method that may be used for detecting regime switching points is the stochastic learning based weak estimation (SLWE) method by Oommen and Rueda. We use SLWE for estimating First Order Markov (FOM) probabilities between symbols emitted by a system and for predicting regime switching points. A switching point is detected when the SLWE estimator unlearns, i.e., adapts estimates of FOM probabilities to new observations, such that the estimate re-converges to a new value that reflects, for the new regime, the FOM dependency of system output tokens. In experiments with a real Dataset for Human Activity Recognition, we see that our method has attractive efficiency (time and space) and similar accuracy compared with the state-of the-art. Experiments with synthetic data, where we controlled noise and Hamming distance between regimes, show promising accuracy for noise rates up to 25%, a rate at which accuracy of state-of-the-art methods deteriorates. Our method is flexible and can be configured to use not only FOM but also second-order and prior symbol probabilities, and combinations thereof.

A method for inferring finite-state models of function blocks from given execution traces based on translation to the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is proposed. In contrast to the previous method based on a metaheuristic algorithm, the approach suggested in this paper is exact: it allows to find a solution if it exists or to prove the opposite. The proposed method is evaluated on the example of constructing a finite-state model of a controller for a Pick-and-Place manipulator and is shown to be significantly faster then the metaheuristic algorithm.

Nowadays, many organizations intend to convert their existing production systems towards ones that are terized by adaptability, openness, flexibility and modularity. This requires a redesign of existing information processing systems especially related to control, leading possibly to cyber-physical production systems (CPPS). However, the implementation of new control technologies will have a direct impact on the normal operational status of production while engineers will also face several challenges and obstacles in adopting intelligent automation systems. New step-wise migration strategies are required to holistically support industries in their journey towards CPPS taking into account technical, economic and social aspects. This paper discusses the migration state-of-the-art strategies, analyzing them and providing a first attempt to define a migration approach for innovative production systems.

The complexity of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) poses new challenges in their design, model checking and maintenance. The hardware and software designers are in search, more than ever, for simple and interoperable approaches that render the complexity of CPSs a treatable matter. In this work, database language is suggested as an enabling technology and a lean technique to the purpose. An example with best available embedded database technology is conducted by means of a deployment test on tiny embedded electronics.

The European innovation project PERFoRM (Production harmonizEd Reconfiguration of Flexible Robots and Machinery) is aiming for a harmonized integration of research results in the area of flexible and reconfigurable manufacturing systems. Based on the cyber-physical system (CPS) paradigm, existing technologies and concepts are researched and integrated in an architecture which is enabling the application of these new technologies in real industrial environments. To implement such a flexible cyber-physical system, one of the core requirements for each involved component is a harmonized communication, which enables the capability to collaborate with each other in an intelligent way. But especially when integrating multiple already existing production components into such a cyber-physical system, one of the major issues is to deal with the various communication protocols and data representations coming with each individual cyber-physical component. To tackle this issue, the solution foreseen within PERFoRM's architecture is to use an integration platform, the PERFoRM Industrial Manufacturing Middleware, to enable all connected components to interact with each other through the Middleware and without having to implement new interfaces for each. This paper describes the basic requirements of such a Middleware and how it fits into the PERFoRM architecture and gives an overview about the internal design and functionality.

This paper presents the results of a survey conducted with students from two courses in the area of digital systems design that took place at the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of Nova University of Lisbon during the first semester of the academic year of 2016/2017. One of the courses is at the introductory level and the other at the intermediate/advanced level, playing an importance role for teaching embedded and cyber-physical systems. In common, the two courses have an experimentation kit that contains a low-cost FPGA (Spartan-3 from Xilinx) that is made available to each group of students throughout the whole semester for the advanced digital systems course, or during the second half of the semester in the case of the introductory course. The survey attempted to perceive the degrees of importance acknowledge by students to different aspects of the infrastructure to support the digital systems laboratories, confirming the importance to have access to experimentation with physical devices even outside laboratory classes.

Localization is important for a wide range of industries and applications. In underground mining, for instance, it is helpful to know the miners' locations, particularly in emergency situations. One way this can be achieved is by using ultrasonic based localization. This paper presents the design and implementation of a wireless sensor network which can be deployed in underground mines to perform time-difference-of-arrival based localization. It is shown that the implemented ultrasound receivers are resistant to noisy conditions that may arise in harsh underground environments.

Manufacturing companies today instead of selling classical products turn more to offer Product Service Systems (PSS). The development of PSS in manufacturing industry requires intensive collaboration among various actors across the value chain. Innovative collaborative ICT environment including sets of advanced tools allowing for effective PSS development are needed. Enormous amount of knowledge to be gathered and shared under dynamically changing conditions, and diffused to a wide spectrum of actors involved, having different expertise and working conditions/cultures, asks for effective context sensitive solutions for knowledge capturing, analysis and diffusion. The paper presents a novel approach for context sensitivity of tools to support collaborative PSS development. The proposed solution is one of the first attempts to provide holistic methodology and set of software services allowing for context sensitivity of diverse PSS engineering tools. The context model based on ontology and the set of services for context monitoring and extraction are specified and developed. The application of the proposed solution in machine industry for collaborative PSS development is discussed.
