TL;DR: This paper emphasises that a Holonic Manufacturing Execution System Engineering ( HMESE) approach should be a relevant B2M SE approach along with other relevant scientific, industrial and educational areas dealing with information and intelligence control and management issues in agile automation.

TL;DR: This work revisits hybrid and continuous PN formalisms, all of them being in essence hybrid models, and presents “a biased” view of works in the hybrid PN arena.

TL;DR: Methods and technologies that have been applied in aerial robotics, including both control architectures and control methods, are reviewed and computer vision techniques for aerial robotics are briefly considered.

TL;DR: 20-sim as mentioned in this paper is a tool for modeling and simulation of physical systems and their controllers, with parameters that are directly related to the real-world system, such as servo systems and mobile robots.

TL;DR: An analysis of the Zachman framework for enterprise architecture and its mapping onto the Generalised Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology (GERAM) framework/ISO IS15704:2000 requirements is presented.

TL;DR: Two approaches of organization theory, which argue for enabling local competence for coping with uncertainties, are discussed with their advantages and disadvantages and consequences for system design drawn.

TL;DR: This paper addresses issues related to acquisition and compression of multivariate data and to modeling of three-way data using projection methods, such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS).

TL;DR: A pragmatic definition of model completeness is given, based on situated interpretation of meaning and theory of communication, and new requirements for Enterprise Modelling Tools are also discussed.

TL;DR: A selection of techniques which have been found effective in the H 2 and H ∞ model reduction of delay systems, modeled using transfer functions are reviewed, including Fourier–Laguerre series, Pade approximants, shift-based approximations, Malmquist bases, partial fractions, wavelet-based techniques, Hankel-norm approximant and truncated state-space realizations.

TL;DR: This paper surveys some of the main design strategies of nonlinear MPC (Model Predictive Control), and shows that the solution of the optimization problem underlying the MPC formulation calls for a suitable parametrization of the control variable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a verification and validation approach which is used here in order to complete the classical tool box the industrial user may utilize in enterprise modeling and integration domain.

TL;DR: In this paper black box models are considered and the sets of regressors that it is better to use in order to obtain the best model for multi step prediction are analysed.

TL;DR: An integrated methodology for planning and implementation of best manufacturing practice has been developed and is being carried out in order to create reference models, methodologies and tools for the implementation of the concept of extended enterprise in Mexican SMEs.

TL;DR: A synthesis method of logic controllers for safety critical systems into field programmable logic is presented, verified using the well-developed Petri net theory, and translated through automated processes into selected FPGA specification format.

TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive controller based on analytical techniques can provide excellent performance and improve the dynamic performance of the plant by allowing the parameters of the controller to adjust as the operating conditions change.

TL;DR: Artykul dokonuje przeglądu wybranych wynikow dotyczących poprawy bezpieczenstwa komputerowych systemow sterowania, w szczegolności omowiono zagadnienia dotycy roznorodnoŚci oprogramowania.

TL;DR: An overview how a sufficient level of trust can be develop with security mechanism during the different life cycle phases of networked production systems is given.

TL;DR: A family of dynamic output feedback compensators that stabilize a given n degrees of freedom mechanical system, with linear continuous-time dynamics, subject to non-smooth impacts is proposed.

TL;DR: By design, there is no semantic gap between the programming and machine execution levels of the controller, enabling the safety licensing of application software by extremely simple, but rigorous methods, viz., diverse back translation and inspection.

TL;DR: In this paper, three different control algorithms are introduced and compared in their ability to guide a human user along a desired path in a rapid fashion, and physical measurements are correlated with user opinion.

TL;DR: An overview of a holistic project dealing with the consistent design of embedded control systems falling into the first level of safety integrity requirements (SIL l) (IEC, 1998), which shows how existing methods can be adapted and reasonably employed, whenever possible, without having to resort to new innovations.
