The Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) promises significant improvements for the manufacturing industry by facilitating integration of systems Digital Twins. However, ecological and economic demands also require a cross-domain linkage multiple scientific perspectives from material sciences, engineering, operations, business, ergonomics, as optimization opportunities can be derived any these perspectives. To extend IIoT to true Internet Production , two concepts are required: first,...
Abstract In recent years, brain research has indisputably entered a new epoch, driven by substantial methodological advances and digitally enabled data integration modelling at multiple scales—from molecules to the whole brain. Major are emerging intersection of neuroscience with technology computing. This science combines high-quality research, across scales, culture multidisciplinary large-scale collaboration, translation into applications. As pioneered in Europe’s Human Brain Project...
Process discovery from event logs as well process prediction using models at runtime are increasingly important aspects to improve the operation of digital twins complex systems. The integration mining functionalities with model-driven twin architectures raises question which for engineering designtime and runtime. Currently, research on is conducted in different communities. Within this position paper, we motivate need holistic combination both directions facilitate harnessing data systems...
Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPSs) are envisioned as next-generation adaptive production systems combining modern techniques with the latest information technology. A CPPS creates a complex environment between different domains (mechanical, electrical, software engineering), requiring multidisciplinary solutions to tackle growing complexity issues and reduce (maintenance) effort. Software plays an increasingly important role in assuring effective efficient operation of CPPSs. However,...
DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development and operations to enable continuous product life cycle improve the quality systems. Although considered successful for typical systems, it has not yet been widelyadopted in area - Physlcal Production Systems (CPPSs) integrate physical components with computer-based control communication Related industrial settings, many new challenges arise, like long-term investments, missing flexibility asset-heavy production environments,...
Abstract Leveraging previously untapped data sources offers significant potential for value creation in the manufacturing sector. However, asset-heavy shop floors, extended machine replacement cycles, and equipment diversity necessitate considerable investments achieving smart manufacturing, which can be particularly challenging small businesses. Retrofitting presents a viable solution, enabling integration of low-cost sensors microcontrollers with older machines to collect transmit data. In...
Object-Centric Event Logs (OCELs) form the basis for Process Mining (OCPM). OCEL 1.0 was first released in 2020 and triggered development of a range OCPM techniques. 2.0 forms new, more expressive standard, allowing extensive process analyses while remaining an easily exchangeable format. In contrast to it can depict changes objects, provide information on object relationships, qualify these relationships other objects or specific events. Compared XES, is expressive, less complicated, better...
New Internet-enabled devices and Web services are introduced on a daily basis. Documentation formats available that describe their functionalities in terms of API endpoints parameters. In particular, the OpenAPI specification has gained considerable influence over last years. Web-based solutions exist generate interactive documentation with HTML5 & JavaScript. They allow developers to quickly get an understanding what do how they work. However, generated user interfaces far from real-world...
Together with the current shift to cloud-based solutions, various Web applications have been enriched collaborative features. These features enable users work together on digital products like documents, diagrams and videos at same time a global scale. Implementing them
With the pervasive need for digitization in modern information society, publicly funded research projects increasingly focus on engineering digital approaches to manage societal processes. Such inherently face challenge of establishing a sustainable software culture. A major thereby is that project consortia establish distributed developer community effectively and resource-efficiently aligns development efforts with goals needs complex constellations beyond lifetime. In this paper we...
