TL;DR: Simulation and experimental results confirm that the proposed approach can strongly decrease the jitter and wander of the generated signal and the time deviation is reduced on average when three stable input references are merged and by several orders of magnitude when one of the input signals is affected by a large frequency step.

TL;DR: A customer feedback platform for vehicle manufacturing in Industry 4.0 context is proposed, capable of collecting and analyzing, through an OBD-II scanner the sensors available in vehicles, with the purpose of assisting in the management, prevention, and mitigation of different vehicular problems.

TL;DR: The work is complemented by the presentation of a use case that shows the use of NTP for the synchronization of a large industrial plant at field level, and highlights the threat to the real-time behavior of the automation system caused by the uncontrolled peaks of traffic due to NTP.

TL;DR: A transparent Time Gateway that is able to interface SNTP devices with a PTP synchronization domain (PTP devices and PTP switches) is described and preliminary experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed architecture.

TL;DR: This work proposes adding redundancy and diversity to the IoT platforms to improve overall resilience and flexibility, other than mitigating unstable behaviors, and shows results that halve the overall average transfer delay and standard deviation.
