Synopsis

This book gathers the proceedings of the I-ESA’20 Conference, which was organised by the National Engineering School of Tarbes (ENIT), on behalf of the European Virtual Laboratory, for Enterprise Interoperability (INTEROP-VLab) and the Pole Grand Sud-Ouest (PGSO) and was held virtually in Tarbes, France, in November 2020. It presents contributions ranging from academic research and case studies to industrial and administrative experiences with interoperability. These contributions show how, in a globalised market scenario―where the ability to cooperate with other organisations efficiently is essential in order to remain economically, socially and environmentally cost-effective―the most innovative digitised and networked enterprises ensure that their systems and applications can interoperate across heterogeneous collaborative networks of independent organisations. The focus of this edition of the conference is on interoperability in the era of artificial intelligence and so particular attention is paid to Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things. The content also addresses smart services and the business impact of enterprise interoperability on organisations.

 

Many of the papers in this tenth volume of the I-ESA Conference proceedings include examples and illustrations to help deepen readers’ understanding and generate new ideas. Offering a detailed guide to the state of the art in systems interoperability, the book will be of great value to all engineers and computer scientists working in manufacturing and other process industries, and to software engineers and electronic and manufacturing engineers working in academic settings.

About this title

About the Author

Prof. Bernard Archimede received the PhD degree in Computer Sciences applied to Industry from the University Bordeaux 1 in 1991. Since this date, he is researcher in the Laboratory Génie de Production (LGP) of the National School of Engineers at Tarbes (ENIT) where he is Full Professor. His research deals with the distributed software architectures and their applications to the multisite scheduling and the control of complex systems. He was head of DIDS (Dynamic Decision and Interoperability for Systems) research team until September 2016. Since, he is deputy director of the Production Engineering Laboratory. He is also the president of the GSO pole (Grand Sud-Ouest) of the International Virtual Laboratory INTEROP-VLab for Enterprise Interoperability. Prof. Archimede has published more than 100 papers in international journals and conferences. He has broad interest on distributed planning architectures, distributed simulation, multiagent systems and interoperability. He coordinated many research projects including a lot industrial collaboration. 

Prof. Yves Ducq is full Professor and vice-President of University of Bordeaux in charge of continuous improvement and documentation. Yves Ducq is Doctor from University Bordeaux 1 in Production Management and Enterprise Modelling. He received his PhD degree at the University Bordeaux 1 in 1999 and received his Accreditation to Supervise Research in 2007. He is working on Performance Measurement, Enterprise Modelling, Production Management and Interoperability and has published more than 40 papers in books and international journals and more than 100 papers in international conferences. Prof. Ducq has been involved on several European projects for twenty years and particularly in the frame of IMS - GLOBEMAN 21 (FP4), Growth – EUROSHOE, IST – CENNET (cooperation with China) and IST - UEML of the FP5. He was strongly involved in INTEROP Network of Excellence, andis now President of virtual laboratory on interoperability: INTEROP Vlab. He is also involved in many French research projects. He has also act as research engineer on several contracts with industry on performance improvement and quality. In the frame of his vice-presidency, he is in charge to spur projects related to continuous improvements, quality, process simplification, accreditations and open science.

Prof. Bob Young is Visiting Professor of Manufacturing Informatics in the Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering at Loughborough University in the UK. He is also Managing Director of Redwood Informatics Limited, who provide informatics consultancy support to manufacturing industry. He has some 45 years’ experience in new product development and manufacturing engineering, working both in UK industry and in academia. Prof Young’s research has been funded directly by industry, by UK funding agencies and by the EU. As well as support for industry, his work has led to around 200 research publications and some 20 PhD completions. His research is focused on exploiting advanced Information and Communications Technologies to aid multi-disciplinary teams of engineers in their decision-making through the provision of timely, high quality information and knowledge.  To that end his research in recent years has been heavily focused towards the development and use of formal ontologies as a basis for effective knowledge sharing and interoperability in manufacturing. Prof Young works with a broad range of manufacturing companies from large multi-nationals in the aerospace and automotive sectors to more local manufacturing SMEs. In this latter area he is a director of TANet, an organisation aimed at providing support to the UK SME manufacturing sector. As well as working closely with industry, Prof Young is committed to developing effective information standards for manufacture. To that end he has been deputy convenor of the international standards organisation working group concerned with “manufacturing process and management data”, ISO TC184 SC4 JWG8. Prof Young is the UK representative for the EU’s Virtual Laboratory for Interoperability (INTEROP-VLab) and also leads a task group within this organisation that is focused on developing improved methods for Manufacturing Enterprise Interoperability.

Prof. Mohamed Hedi Karray is full professor of informatics at ENIT (National School of Engineers at Tarbes).  He is the head of ontology research group at Production Engineering Laboratory. He received a MSc. degree in Information Technologies from University of Lyon in 2008, a Ph.D. degree in applied informatics and an MBA from the University of Franche-Comté in 2012 then 2013 and the Habilitation to Lead Research (HDR) from the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse in 2019. In 2016, he had a visiting researcher position at the State University ofNew York at Buffalo (UB). Since his stay at UB, Dr. Karray became a senior scientist at the National Centre for Ontological Research. Hedi Karray is also a technical committee member of several international research groups such as IEEE SMC, IFAC 5.3, InteropVlab and Industrial Ontologies Foundry. He has published more than 40 papers in international journals and conferences. He has served as a reviewer for several international journals and a member of several TPC in several international and national conferences. He chaired and organised the international conferences as IEEE AICCSA 2019 and I-ESA2020. Dr. Karray has managed and participated in several collaborative research projects on the topics of Ontology-Based Engineering, semantic interoperability and decision support systems. He has contributed to developing several ontologies and ontology related tools in different domains such as engineering, crisis management and astrophysics. In 2019, he was elected as IEEE senior member.
