Abstract

The factory of the future scenario asks for new approaches to cope with the incoming challenges and complexity of cyber-physical systems. The role of database management systems is becoming central for control and automation technology in this new industrial scenario. This article proposes database-centric technology and architecture that aims to seamlessly integrate networking, artificial intelligence, and real-time control issues into a unified model of computing. The proposed methodology is also viable for the development of a framework that features simulation and rapid prototyping tools for smart and advanced industrial automation. The full expression of the potentialities in the presented approach is expected in particular for applications where tiny and distributed embedded devices collaborate to a shared computing task of relevant complexity.

Abstract

The paper presents the architecture of an experimental mobile robotic platform, which has been designed specifying interoperability between multiple robots as a main objective. In particular, novel software technologies based on Web services have been exploited in order to support mobile robots with efficient and extensible messaging, data-sharing and distributed task management capabilities. The basic components of the proposed architecture have been implemented and tested on a demonstrative robotic setup, that will be fully described in the paper. However, the aim of the proposal is to contribute to future Web-based interoperability between mobile robots employed in either industrial or human service applications.

Abstract

The problem of designing complex dependable systems is addressed in this paper. Due to some peculiarities of their application and behavior these are often referred to as reactive systems. Two main paradigms for their design have recently been proposed; we name these paradigms living processes and hidden concurrency, depending on their approach to concurrency handling. The analysis of application requirements and constraints is proposed as a methodology for selecting the most suitable implementation paradigm for a given application. Finally, it is shown that in some cases an intermediate paradigm may provide a suitable solution.
