WS1 - 5th 4DIAC Users’ Workshop (Part I)

Focus: the open source initiative 4DIAC – Framework for Distributed Industrial Automation and Control

Organizers:
Alois Zoitl, fortiss GmbH, Germany
Gerhard Ebenhofer, PROFACTOR GmbH, Austria
Thomas Strasser, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, Austria

Aims & Scope:
The open source initiative 4DIAC – Framework for Distributed Industrial Automation and Control (www.fordiac.org) has been founded with the idea to support research activities and industrial adoption of distributed automation systems. During the last years, 4DIAC grew with new versions, added improvements and new features for the modeling of distributed automation systems as well as the corresponding runtime environment. Moreover, a special focus was on the performance improvement of the runtime system. Even more important, 4DIAC as an IEC 61499-compliant distributed control environment for industrial and research applications has proven to be a stable basis for further research towards the next generation of distributed automation and control systems based on open standards.

With this workshop we would like to bring the developers and users of 4DIAC together as the users are the main drivers of ongoing development activities. This event should provide a discussion platform to present novel research and achieved results based on the 4DIAC open source project. Moreover, new ideas and approaches as well as near future plans for 4DIAC can be discussed which turn this initiative into the position to become a larger framework for many application domains.

Organizers:
Frank Golatowski, Univ. of Rostock, Germany
Lucia Lo Bello, Univ. of Catania, Italy
Michael Ditze, TWT Science & Innovation, Germany
Christoph Niedermeier, Siemens AG, Corporate Technology, Munich, Germany

Aims & Scope:
By its converging nature, SOCNE workshop brings together researchers and practitioners from a variety of different industrial application domains. They are working on the same goal to improve the interoperability in their own application field as well as between various kinds of domains.

Today, service-oriented architectures are building the backbone for future cyber-physical systems and found the basis for widely deployed service systems. In this sense, they are very important for many kinds of future value added services. The workshop has triggered researchers to publish research work in the field of CLOUD, SOA, CPS, IoT, and related topics.

In this year, SOCNE has invited potential authors working in research projects from the industrial and building automation domain, medical domain, and communication systems. Trans-disciplinary and cross-domain aspects are covered by the contributions submitted to the workshop. These contributions bring together information and communication systems with industrial automation applications and systems. During the last couple of years, the SOCNE workshop has been established as cutting-edge workshop for smart and reliable service interoperability and composition across heterogeneous platforms and networking environments.

WS3 - Workshop on Advanced Platforms for Manufacturing Engineering and Product Lifecycle Management (AmePLM Workshop)

Organizers:
Maria Pia Fanti, Polytechnic of Bari, Italy
Walter Ukovich, University of Trieste, Italy

Aims & Scope:
The workshop is in the framework of the PF7 project “Advanced Platform for manufacturing engineering and Product Lifecycle Management” (amePLM http://www.ameplm.eu).

The workshop will provide an opportunity, not only for the projects partners but also for researchers and practitioners, to exchange new ideas and results about Product Life Management (PLM) approaches.

PLM is not just a software system: it is an approach to manage products over their lifecycle, starting with capturing new product ideas, following with catching all product definition data and extending to the definitions of all life cycle processes and monitoring customer satisfaction. Hence the PLM is a strategy to maximize the value of the total product offering by flexibly responding to individual customer needs. Today, thank to the new technologies and ICT tools, the research in this field involves different areas such as automation, operational research, computer science, production research.

The aim of the workshop is to show how a PLM integrated system can support the product and the production engineers by a radically new and extensible approach to collaborative engineering of products and productions that leverages state-of-the art research on semantics, heuristics and visualization.

This event should provide a discussion platform to present novel research and achieved results based on the amePLM project. Moreover, new ideas and approaches as well as near future plans can be discussed which turn this initiative into the position to become a larger framework for many application domains.

WS4 - Workshop on Models and Methods for Hospital Management and Planning (M2H)

Organizers:
Kristofer Bengtsson, Sekvensa AB, Sweden
Cristian Mahulea, University of Zaragoza, Spain

Aims & Scope:
Healthcare systems are highly computerized large-scale distributed systems. To manage the increasing demand and financial pressure, radically new planning and control approaches are needed. Future planning and control requires better integration of various subsystems and advanced algorithms for information handling, prognosis and optimization. It also needs to be useful and understandable by healthcare personnel and patients as well as shifting from a reactive care to proactive and patient-centered care.

This workshop intends to bring together universities and hospitals to discuss actual problems of healthcare systems related to the hospital planning and management. The focus of the workshop is on the logistics and planning of patient activities and resource utilization. Since the application domain is very complex, the workshop will discuss how new models describing the healthcare system behavior and new algorithms can be implemented using advanced Information and Communications Technology.

WS5 - Workshop on Virtualization for Real-Time Embedded Systems (VtRES 2014)

Organizers:
Moris Behnam, Mälardalen University, Sweden
Kristian Sandström, ABB Corporate Research, Sweden

Aims & Scope:
The VtRES workshop provides a forum for researchers and technologists to discuss the state-of-the-art, present their work and contributions, and set future directions in virtualization for real-time embedded systems.

Resource virtualization offer solutions for hardware consolidation, where multiple systems can be integrated onto a single multicore machine. Moreover, the ability offered to manage mixed criticality, including security aspects makes virtualization an attractive technology for future automation systems. Virtualization is realized by creating a set of Virtual Machines (VM) that are dedicated to the applications for running them on the physical system in a controlled manner in terms of resources accesses. During runtime, a middleware is responsible for providing the required resources to VMs according to the specifications of their associated applications. This middleware is called Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) or hypervisor. By partitioning system resources among applications this technique ensures faults containment, i.e., it prevents a faulty application from misusing the system resources and thus preventing failure propagation between different applications.

The main focus of this workshop is on methods, techniques and mechanisms for efficient and predictable virtualization for real time embedded system applications.
