In industrial power generation plants, subsystem monitoring and analytics play a vital role in quantifying the knowledge about different factors that impact their overall performance. Multi-dimensional performance metrics, e.g. thermal efficiency, in-service time, mean-time-to-failure etc., are calculated that may have different data constraints, modelling techniques, and execution frameworks. Automating these calculations and combining multiple metrics to form a single performance index (e.g. reliability) is a challenging task as it requires considerable domain-specific expertise and consolidation of performance-related data and its underlying models. In this paper, we propose to use ontologies to assist domain analyst to first, capture appropriate semantic data of an individual performance metric, and later to provide means to integrate and execute multiple metrics to accurately reflect the overall performance of a plant. We present our prototypical implementation, its evaluation; furthermore, we discuss an ontology model that currently describes three distinct analytical models and its related data based on the case study of Siemens gas turbines. We also demonstrate how ontologies can support to infer the appropriate aggregation method in calculating composite indices.

Monitoring of a Water Distribution Network (WDN) requires information about the present state of the network. Since all variables are usually not measurable directly, State estimation is employed. State estimation is a process of determining the unknown variables of a system based on the measurements and mathematical network model. Measurements are often noisy, but state estimation procedure makes use of a set of redundant measurements in order to filter out such errors and find an optimal estimate. This paper presents a literature review of static state estimation problem pertaining to Water distribution Networks.

Real-time and embedded systems (RTES) encompass a variety of embedded and real-time properties and requirements which defines them. Timing behavior of RTES physical and logical subsystems is as important as their functional behavior. These systems must define, in addition to their functional properties, the control of several peripheral components, of their constraints, communication interfaces and temporal and non-functional requirements. Understanding the representation and treatment of several properties of real-time and embedded systems has direct influence in their development, reliability and safety. Therefore, it is pertinent to analyze the properties that represent this domain and to provide strategies for a complete definition of model elements'. This paper aims to provide guidelines for comprehension, application and possible adoption of the UML MARTE (Modelling and Analysis of RealTime and Embedded Systems) profile in specification, modeling and design of real-time and embedded properties of a system. The proposed design strategy is applied to a case study, in the domain of intelligent automation systems, in order to direct the adoption of the constructors of MARTE profile in other development contexts and to describe the semantics and syntax of these builders to strengthen their comprehensibility.

A Software-Defined Wireless Sensor Network (SD-WSN) is a recently developed model which is expected to play a large role not only in the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm but also as a platform for other applications such as smart water management. This model makes use of a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) approach to manage a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in order to solve most of the inherent issues surrounding WSNs. One of the most important aspects of any network, is security. This is an area that has received little attention within the development of SDWSNs, as most research addresses security concerns within SDN and WSNs independently. There is a need for research into the security of SDWSN. Some concepts from both SDN and WSN security can be adjusted to suit the SDWSN model while others cannot. Further research is needed into consolidating SDN and WSN security measures to consider security in SDWSN. Threats, challenges and potential solutions to securing SDWSN are presented by considering both the WSN and SDN paradigms.

A cyber-physical production system (CPPS) integrates capacities such as computing, storing and communication along with others in the physical world such as objects tracking and/or objects controlling. According to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) concepts it is possible to infer that CPPS systems are normally connected to each other, and also connected to the virtual world of global digital networks. It is here where, introducing the IEC-61499 standard, will allow the CPPS to implement distributed, flexible and reconfigurable controllers. In the industrial context, the ISA-88 regulation offers a coherent set of standards and terminology for batch control and defines models: physical model, controlling model etc., for this kind of industries. That is why it is necessary to provide the industry with low-cost alternatives which could redirect the CPPS development to a new variety of devices. This paper proposes the development of the Function Blocks (FBs) networks needed in the integration of distributed control systems with the use of two embedded hardware like: BeagleBone Black and Raspberry PI; having the models presented in the ISA-88 standard as the base for developing the control algorithms encapsulated inside the FBs of control.

In this work, we present a monitoring system for Self-Organizing Industrial Systems (SOIS). It is based on an anomaly detection approach which evaluates the movement of objects within a factory by putting them together from sub-trajectories. By introducing two metrics — relative user frequency and pathlet occurence per user — the existing method is extended so that not only anomalous trajectories and omitted production stations can be detected, but also loops, shifts in the load distribution and novel valid paths. For this purpose, suitable visualization techniques are presented: For loop detection the pathlet occurence per user is monitored and evaluated using box plots. Shifts in the load distribution and novel valid paths are detected using heat maps. The work-flow of the monitoring system is illustrated based on data which is generated by a simplified simulation model.

The discussion of threats and vulnerabilities in Industrial Control Systems has gained popularity during the last decade due to the increase in interest and growing concern to secure these systems. In order to provide an overview of the complete landscape of these threats and vulnerabilities this contribution provides a tiered security analysis of the assets that constitute Industrial Control Systems. The identification of assets is obtained from a generalization of the system's architecture. Additionally, the security analysis is complemented by discussing security countermeasures and solutions that can be used to counteract the vulnerabilities and increase the security of control systems.

The electric vehicles can contribute to reducing electricity costs by providing their batteries as temporary energy storages. The paper presents a new mechanism of their implementation in systems with distributed energy resources. The method is based on individual contracts that facility company makes with the drivers of electric vehicles. The company that has own energy generation from photovoltaic panels, stores and uses the electricity in the batteries of vehicles while they are in the parking lot. The contracts specify the required level of charge at the end of agreement and the financial compensation. The paper analysed proposed cooperation between facility owner and multiple electric vehicles in simulation, using real energy, weather and vehicles behaviour data. All the electric vehicles can significantly reduce the average recharging bill, as well as the facility owner gets lower electricity expenses.

With recent trends in manufacturing automation, such as Industry 4.0, control software in automated production systems becomes more and more complex and volatile, complicating and increasing importance of quality assurance. Test tables are a widely used and generally accepted means to intuitively specify test cases for automation software. However, each table only specifies a single software trace, whereas the actual software behavior may cover multiple similar traces not covered by the table. Within this work, we present a generalization concept for test tables allowing for bounded and unbounded repetition of steps, “don't-care” values, as well as calculations with earlier observed values. We provide a verification mechanism for checking conformance of an IEC 61131-3 PLC software with a generalized test table, making use of a state-of-the-art model checker. Our notation is inspired by widely-used paradigms found in spreadsheet applications. By an empirical study with mechanical engineering students, we show that the notation matches user expectations. A real-world example extracted from an industrial automation plant illustrates our approach.

Several research and development activities have been, are, and will be conducted towards the development of agile production systems. All of the will had, have, and will have their individual rationales, aims, and reached results. To enable comparability and a broader application of reached results means for representation of the application field of the research activity are required. As most research and development activities validate their results within a demonstration system one possibility for the representation is a detailed classification of the demonstration system towards agility capabilities of the demonstration system. A first idea of such a classification is given in this paper.
