Marosi, A.C., Emodi, M., Hajnal, Á., Lovas, R., Kiss, T., Poser, V., Antony, J., Bergweiler, S., Hamzeh, H., Deslauriers, J. and Kovács, J. Interoperable Data Analytics Reference Architectures Empowering Digital-Twin-Aided Manufacturing 2022 Future Internet
Vol. 14(4) 
article DOI URL 
Abstract: The use of mature, reliable, and validated solutions can save significant time and cost when introducing new technologies to companies. Reference Architectures represent such best-practice techniques and have the potential to increase the speed and reliability of the development process in many application domains. One area where Reference Architectures are increasingly utilized is cloud-based systems. Exploiting the high-performance computing capability offered by clouds, while keeping sovereignty and governance of proprietary information assets can be challenging. This paper explores how Reference Architectures can be applied to overcome this challenge when developing cloud-based applications. The presented approach was developed within the DIGITbrain European project, which aims at supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-caps in realizing smart business models called Manufacturing as a Service, via the efficient utilization of Digital Twins. In this paper, an overview of Reference Architecture concepts, as well as their classification, specialization, and particular application possibilities are presented. Various data management and potentially spatially detached data processing configurations are discussed, with special attention to machine learning techniques, which are of high interest within various sectors, including manufacturing. A framework that enables the deployment and orchestration of such overall data analytics Reference Architectures in clouds resources is also presented, followed by a demonstrative application example where the applicability of the introduced techniques and solutions are showcased in practice.

Towards a Digital Lifecycle Passport for the Circular Economy 2022 Procedia CIRP
Vol. 105, pp. 122-127 
article DOI URL 
Abstract: The Circular Economy approach aims to close the loop of materials and to reduce waste. However, relevant product data for the optimization and management of circular approaches are often missing. Stakeholders typically lack key information: Recyclers do not know which materials/compounds to expect, producers do not know enough about the recyclability of their products, and customers do not have enough information about the environmental impact of their purchases. As a solution, this paper proposes a Digital Lifecycle Passport (DLCP) that can be written and read by various stakeholders along the full product lifecycle. Based on Plattform Industrie 4.0’s Asset Administration Shell, the DLCP is readable for both humans and machines. A cloud-based app (SaaS) enables all stakeholders to create and manage DLCPs. As a use case, it is demonstrated how the DLCP can improve the sorting process of electronic waste.

article DOI URL 
Abstract: Digital Twins (DTs) are real-time digital models that allow for self-diagnosis, self-optimization and self-configuration without the need for human input or intervention. While DTs are a central aspect of the ongoing fourth industrial revolution (I4.0), this leap forward may be reserved for the established, large-cap companies since the adoption of digital technologies among Small and Medium-size Enterprises (SMEs) is still modest. The aim of the H2020 European Project ”DIGITbrain” is to support a modular construction of DTs by reusing their fundamental building blocks, i.e., the Models that describe the behavior of the DT, their associated Algorithms and the Data required for the evaluation. By offering these building blocks as a service via a DT Platform (a Digital Twin Environment), the technical barriers among SMEs to adopt these technologies are lowered. This paper describes how digital models can be classified, reused and authored on such DT Platforms. Through experimental analyses of three industrial cases, the paper exemplifies how DTs are employed in relation to product assembly of agricultural robots, polymer injection molding, as well as laser-cutting and sheet-metal forming of aluminum.

Abstract: Nach nunmehr zehn Jahren Industrie 4.0 ist es an der Zeit, zurückzuschauen und die seinerzeitige Erwartungshaltung zu reflektieren, die von der Vision einer Produktion auf Basis autonomer Produktionseinheiten sprach. In der industriellen Praxis stellen wir jedoch fest, dass bei aller Digitalisierung von Maschinen an der eigentlichen Struktur der Produktionssteuerung bis heute nicht gerüttelt und die ursprüngliche Vision autonomer Produktionsmodule noch nicht umgesetzt wurde. Die Technologie-Initiative SmartFactory KL e.V. hat deshalb mit ihrem Leitbild Production Level 4 eine Vision für die nächsten Jahre erarbeitet, um wieder auf die ursprünglichen Ziele zu fokussieren. Zu deren Umsetzung entstand gemeinsam mit den Mitgliedsunternehmen ein neuer, modular erweiterbarer Demonstrator, der den Weg in eine europaweite Vernetzung von autonomen Produktionsanlagen im geplanten GAIA-X Verbund aufzeigt. Die fähigkeitsbasierte Kapselung von Produktionsschritten durch eine Bot-basierte Steuerungsstruktrur ist dabei ein Kernmerkmal der neuen Architektur.

A Digital Shadow cloud-based application to enhance quality control in manufacturing 2020 IFAC-PapersOnLine
Vol. 53(2), pp. 10579-10584 
article DOI URL 
Abstract: In Industry 4.0 era, rapid changes to the global landscape of manufacturing are transforming industrial plants in increasingly more complex digital systems. One of the most impactful innovations generated in this context is the “Digital Twin”, a digital copy of a physical asset, which is used to perform simulations, health predictions and life cycle management through the use of a synchronized data flow in the manufacturing plant. In this paper, an innovative approach is proposed in order to contribute to the current collection of applications of Digital Twin in manufacturing: a Digital Shadow cloud-based application to enhance quality control in the manufacturing process. In particular, the proposal comprises a Digital Shadow updated on high performance computing cloud infrastructure in order to recompute the performance prediction adopting a variation of the computer-aided engineering model shaped like the actual manufactured part. Thus, this methodology could make possible the qualification of even not compliant parts, and so shift the focus from the compliance to tolerance requirements to the compliance to usage requirements. The process is demonstrated adopting two examples: the structural assessment of the geometry of a shaft and the one of a simplified turbine blade. Moreover, the paper presents a discussion about the implications of the use of such a technology in the manufacturing context in terms of real-time implementation in a manufacturing line and lifecycle management.

IEC White Paper AI:2018 – Artificial intelligence across industries 2018 , pp. 93School: IEC White Paper AI:2018  techreport URL 
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is continuously making inroads into domains previously reserved to humans. Robots support workers in the manufacturing sector; digital assistants automate office tasks; intelligent appliances order food based on owners’ preferences or control lighting and temperature in the home in preparation of their arrival. Increasingly sophisticated algorithms have the potential to help address some of humanity’s biggest challenges. They also bring about a number of risks and threats that businesses, governments and policy makers need to understand and tackle carefully. This white paper sets the scene for understanding where AI stands today and the outlook for the next 5 to 10 years. Taking an industrial perspective, it discusses in more detail: smart homes, intelligent manufacturing, smart transportation/self-driving vehicles, and the energy sector. It covers current technological capabilities and provides a detailed description of some of the major existing and future challenges related to safety, security, privacy, trust and ethics that AI will have to address at the international level. AI will become one of the core technologies across many different industries and standardization will play a critical role in shaping its future. The white paper was developed by the IEC Market Strategy Board (MSB) with major contributions from Haier Group and project partner the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). Supporting project team members included SAP, Huawei, NSW Data Analytics Centre (DAC), China Electronic Standardization Institute (CESI), LG Electronics, and Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO).

Abstract: Die digitale Transformation in der industriellen Produktion bietet erhebliche Potenziale zur Steigerung von Material- und Energieeffizienz in Unternehmen. Gleichzeitig benötigen die eingesetzten Technologien der Digitalisierung auch selbst Ressourcen: Bei der Produktion von IKT-Komponenten werden Materialien, darunter auch kritische Rohstoffe, verwendet. Weiterhin kann die digitale Transformation zu einem höheren Energieverbrauch führen. Diesem Spannungsfeld aus Chancen und Herausforderungen widmet sich die Studie „Ressourceneffizienz durch Industrie 4.0 – Potenziale für KMU des verarbeitenden Gewerbes“.

Vol. 9(1&2), pp. 91-101 
article  
Abstract: This paper describes the concept and realization of an architecture using cloud-based smart components to achieve a more responsive production system that provides a modular and re-configurable production framework. For each important part of the plant and the manufactured product, digital virtual copies are created and stored in active digital object memories, a unified structured format for data access and further processing. Cyber-Physical Systems act as intelligent nodes within the cloud-based network and guarantee the function of technical communication and data exchange. Moreover, these systems continuously perform and execute almost autonomous simple state and feature checks, up to a certain level of complexity. In various points of the production process these simple checks can ensure or even optimize the quality of the product. An assistance system makes use of these technical solutions and manages and monitors the distributed components and their responsibilities for quality assurance during the whole production process. In compliance with prescribed quality characteristics and the situational context necessary processing steps are defined or rearranged.

Abstract: This paper presents the concept and implementation of a cloud-based infrastructure platform and tailored tools for graphical user interaction. The goal is the creation of a platform that allows users to generate workflows for their experiments in the field of product design and quality assurance without any knowledge of service engineering and the underlying Semantic Web technologies. An experiment is described as workflow and consists of orchestrated services from several vendors that encapsulate specific tasks. One advantage of this approach is the combination of a cloud-based platform with high-performance computing. Services that encapsulates complex calculation procedures can be outsourced to specific servers. This results in tremendous time savings and allows experts to carry out more experiments with products, which was omitted due to the complexity and the required computing power until now. The possibility to conduct these experiments improves the productive know-how of the companies and enhances the products they are selling.

Vol. 8(1&2), pp. 194 - 208 
article URL 
Abstract: The innovations in information and communication technologies change our daily life and the way how to interact with intelligent systems. Powerful computers are becoming smaller and are integrated almost anywhere, even in televisions. Today’s connected television systems are offering a lot of technical functionalities including these, which are currently integrated in smartphones. In this article, we describe an innovative approach in form of an intelligent television system named Swoozy, which enables viewers to discover extended information, such as facts, images, shopping recommendations or video clips about the currently broadcast TV program by using the power of technologies of the Internet and the Semantic Web. Via a gesture-based user interface viewers will get answers to questions they may ask themselves during a movie or TV report directly on their television. These questions are very often related to the name and vita of the featured actor, the place where a scene was filmed, or purchasable books and items about the topic of the report the viewer is watching. Furthermore, a new interaction concept for TVs is proposed using semantic annotations called Grabbables that are displayed on top of the videos and that provide a semantic referencing between the videos’ content and an ontological representation to access Semantic Web Services.

Bergweiler, S. Interactive Service Composition and Query 2014 Towards the Internet of Services: The THESEUS Research Program, pp. 163-178  incollection DOI  
Abstract: The various modern services on the Internet offer a wealth of information. Therefore, the provision of specific credible information becomes more important. Nowadays, different lightweight application architectures based on web services establish themselves as de facto standards for data access and data publishing via so-called REST-based interfaces on the Internet. Within these approaches a flexible integration of services data is becoming a reality, and for the Internet of the future, these activities, designed as Linked Open Data, are becoming increasingly important. In this paper we describe the development of a framework named Joint Service Engine (JSE) for the discovery, integration, processing, and fusion of “semantically” annotated web services. The focus is on the discovery of appropriate service information and the fusion of all gathered information in real time. The processing chain includes the harmonization of different data structures obtained from heterogeneous web services that have to be mapped to specific predefined domain ontologies. In a multimodal dialog shell, JSE supports the system to answer spoken queries like “Give me the neighboring countries of Germany, their populations and the geo-coordinates of the respective capitals”. This requires several service calls and the filtering and combination of their results to provide an adequate answer.

Abstract: This approach describes a centralized framework that offers a flexible integration and access to different external knowledge sources via a single query interface. The advantage of this approach is to use the potential of a combination of different services to focus information and knowledge. Different SOAP or REST-based Web services can be requested in parallel and their results are integrated, analyzed and harmonized to one result structure that is sent to the user's client application. Various knowledge sources, can be integrated in the framework, without the need to know a query language of the Semantic Web like SPARQL. A special point in this approach is the discovery of services and the harmonization of the results of involved services using matching and mapping rules.

Abstract: In this article, we describe an innovative approach to an intelligent television system named Swoozy that enables viewers to discover extended information such as facts, images, shopping recommendations or video clips about the currently broadcasted TV program by using the power of technologies of the Semantic Web (Web 3.0). Via a gesture-based user interface viewers will get answers to questions they may ask themselves during a movie or TV report directly on their television. In most cases, these questions are related to the name and vita of the featured actor, the place where a scene was filmed, or purchasable books and items about the topic of the report the viewer is watching. Furthermore, a new interaction concept for TVs is proposed using semantic annotations called “Grabbables” that are displayed on top of the videos and that provide a semantic referencing between the videos’ content and an ontological representation to access Semantic Web Services.

Abstract: In this article we propose a generic framework for ontological intention recognition and action recommendation involving distributed and networked active digital object memories (ADOMe) for production factories and their components as well as individually manufactured products. For this purpose, a concrete and complex application scenario in the industrial environment is designed. In addition, the developed approach provides an important contribution to the utilization of ADOMes and their networking and intelligent representation of consumption, savings and savings potential. Furthermore, the processes and tasks of the proactive intention recognition component reflect the behavior and interaction of man and machine or man and object. Such a system can provide context-aware action recommendations without any explicit request by end users. Its prototypical realization is realized under integrated use of specially designed methods and technologies, such as the instrumentation of objects with ADOMes, process and role models, and rule recommendation procedures.

Abstract: In this work we suggest a new device to instrument everyday objects in the end-user life cycle phase that makes everyday life easier for the elderly. The instrumentation of products, such as food, transforms them into smarter and more intelligent products. The equipped product notifies the user when food is spoiled and—interconnected with other smart products—advises against side effects that occur when food is consumed while a certain medication is ingested. We describe the considerations that were made towards a first prototype from a technical perspective. An interaction model was developed, a requirements analysis performed and several design and development considerations made. An architecture shows the information flow between sensors, actuators, and the Internet of Things. In the end, the prototype of a product sleeve is presented that is easy to handle and intuitive to operate. A feedback study is planned in the near future.

Abstract: Using label technology, a physical object may be employed to build a continuously growing data collection, which can, for instance, be exploited for product quality monitoring and supply chain management. Along the object’s life-cycle, queries to such a collection may stay quite similar, e.g., ”get unusual observations”. However, expectations to a ”good” answer may change, as with time different entities will come into contact with the object. This article reports on work in progress concerning a framework for collecting data about things, which aims at decoupling logic employed for interpreting such a collection from processing hardware and using the collection itself for transporting such logic. Main contributions include an approach to hardware-abstraction of processing logic at the object or remote, an app store for retrieving interpretation and presentation logic, and interaction forms with such memories.

Abstract: We will show how to build innovative multimodal dialog user interfaces that integrate multiple heterogeneous web services as data sources on the basis of the Ontology-based Dialog Platform (ODP). More specifically, we will describe how to exploit ODP’s well-defined extension points and how generic ODP processing modules can be adopted, in order to support a rapid dialog system engineering process. By means of the latest ODP-based educational information system CIRIUS and the ODP workbench, a set of Eclipse-based editors and tools, we demonstrate step-by-step along the generic multimodal dialog processing chain what has to be done for developing a new multimodal dialog user interface for a specific application domain.

Abstract: In this paper we present a new way of emotional interaction with products. Based on the rapid prototyping Microsoft Gadgeteer platform, we concretized our vision of an on-product app by implementing an anthropomorphic intelligent milk carton. The purpose of this realization is to give customers a better view of a product's life-cycle. This realization also demonstrates that the frontier between pure mobile applications development and the creation of tangible objects is very thin and opens new way to integrate the Internet of Things over an anthropomorphic user interface, thus leading to a new product to human interaction form.

Abstract: Disaster management software deals with supporting staff in large catastrophic incidents such as earthquakes or floods, e.g., by providing relevant information, facilitating task and resource planning, and managing communication with all involved parties. In this paper, we introduce the SoKNOS support system, which is a functional prototype for such software using semantic technologies for various purposes. Ontologies are used for creating a mutual understanding between developers and end users from different organizations. Information sources and services are annotated with ontologies for improving the provision of the right information at the right time, for connecting existing systems and databases to the SoKNOS system, and for providing an ontology-based visualization. Furthermore, the users' actions are constantly supervised, and errors are avoided by employing ontology-based consistency checking. We show how the pervasive and holistic use of semantic technologies leads to a significant improvement of both the development and the usability of disaster management software, and present some key lessons learned from employing semantic technologies in a large-scale software project.

Abstract: Typically, intelligent environments include a heterogenous set of devices and services offering complex functionalities. To establish a real assistive intelligent environment the available functionalities, their interdependencies and possible side effects must be comprehensible for the end-users and for the diverse set of developers, architects and craftsmen involved in the development process. In this paper, we present a detailed small-scale model of an instrumtented two-rooms apartment and show how the model can be utilized for designing, evaluating and controlling intelligent environments. Furthermore, we present an architectural foundation based on Universal Remote Console technology and discuss how to synchronize the model with the real environment.

Abstract: The digital workflow of the conception of a newspaper or a magazine involves several tasks. While professional solutions like QuarkXpress or Adobe InDesign combined with InCopy only offer the possibility for one person to modify a document at the same time, we have developed a concept in form of a prototype that will help journalists and the editorial staff to work collaboratively together using a touch-based table with a new approach of pagination and text editing through multitouch gestures.

International Conference on GeoSpatial Semantics (GeoS-09)GeoSpatial Semantics, pp. 103-121  incollection DOI URL 
Abstract: With the specifications defined through the Sensor Web Enablement initiative of the Open Geospatial Consortium, flexible integration of sensor data is becoming a reality. Challenges remain in the discovery of appropriate sensor information and in the real-time fusion of this information. This is important, in particular, in disaster management, where the flow of information is overwhelming and sensor data must be easily accessible for non-experts (fire brigade officers). We propose to support, in this context, sensor discovery and fusion by “semantically” annotating sensor services with terms from an ontology. In doing so, we employ several well-known techniques from the GIS and Semantic Web worlds, e.g., for semantic matchmaking and data presentation. The novel contribution of our work is a carefully arranged tool architecture, aimed at providing optimal integration support, while keeping the cost for creating the annotations at bay. We address technical details regarding the interaction and functionality of the components, and the design of the required ontology. Based on the architecture, after minimal off-line effort, on-line discovery and integration of sensor data is no more difficult than using standard GIS applications.

Abstract: We describe a Web 3.0 interaction system where the mobile user scenario is combined with a touchscreenbased collaborative terminal. Multiple users should be able to easily organize their information/knowledge space (which is ontology-based) and share information with others. We implemented a MP3 and video player interface for the physical iPod Touch (or iPhone) and the corresponding virtual touchscreen workbench. The Web 3.0 access allows us to organize and retrieve multimedia material from online repositories such as YouTube and LastFM.

New York, pp. 159-166  inproceedings URL 
Abstract: Experience shows that decisions in the early phases of the development of a multimodal system prevail throughout the life-cycle of a project. The distributed architecture and the requirement for robust multimodal interaction in our project SmartWeb resulted in an approach that uses and extends W3C standards like EMMA and RDFS. These standards for the interface structure and content allowed us to integrate available tools and techniques. However, the requirements in our system called for various extensions, e.g., to introduce result feedback tags for an extended version of EMMA. The interconnection framework depends on a commercial telephone voice dialog system platform for the dialog-centric components while the information access processes are linked using web service technology. Also in the area of this underlying infrastructure, enhancements and extensions were necessary. The first demonstration system is operable now and will be presented at the Football World Cup 2006 in Germany.
