A Step toward Solving Interoperability Problems

A Step toward Solving Interoperability Problems

Tweet

One of the greatest challenges facing Industry 4.0 is interoperability or efficient communication between different systems and domains. Interoperability is also at the heart of the Arrowhead Framework with its goal of enabling an exchange of information between devices and systems that is not constrained by underlying protocols or semantics.

In a step towards solving problems of interoperability, Cristina Paniagua has recently published a licentiate thesis proposing a set of design principles and tools that could contribute to more autonomous integration by generating automatic interfaces. Being able to generate automatic interfaces could lead to significant gains in efficiency by reducing the amount of human intervention needed in many day-to-day industrial operations. Interfaces, that are generated once and continue to facilitate all further interactions, also provide efficiency advantages over “translators” that need to intervene to facilitate communication between systems with every interaction. Using existing descriptions of interfaces Paniagua has, as part of her project, performed compatibility checks and completed and expanded existing interface definitions in order to avoid errors and blind spots. This allowed her to generate a new service-level interface that bridged the gaps identified. The next steps are to analyse the results and generate expanded theoretical models and new prototypes. Her work will also contribute to establishing semantic standards that are sufficiently generic so as to be transferable.

This project has received funding from ECSEL Joint Undertaking (JU) under grant agreement No 826452. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and Norway and Switzerland.


Artemis

ARTEMIS Industry Association strives for a leading position of Europe in Embedded Intelligence. The Association is a membership organization for the European R&I actors with more than 180 members and associates from all over Europe. The multidisciplinary nature of the membership provides an excellent network for the exchange of technology ideas, cross-domain fertilisation, as well as for large innovation initiatives. As private partner in ECSEL Joint Undertaking, ARTEMIS-IA supports formation of consortia and initiation of project proposals for joint collaboration and creates the meeting place where key industry players and other R&D&I actors identify strategic high priority topics for collaborative R&I projects.
