Model-driven migration of supervisory machine control architectures

Model-driven migration of supervisory machine control architectures

Supervisory machine control is the high-level control in advanced manufacturing machines that is responsible for the coordination of manufacturing activities. Traditionally, the design of such control systems is based on finite state machines. An alternative, more flexible approach is based on task-resource models. This paper describes an approach for the migration of supervisory machine contro...

SOAMIG Project: Model-Driven Software Migration towards Service-Oriented Architectures

The SOAMIG project aims at developing a general migration process for model-driven migrations towards Service-Oriented Architectures. This paper highlights the model-driven tools developed during the SOAMIG project for two case studies: A language migration from a COBOL transactional server to Java web services, and a second study on an architecture migration from a monolithic Java fat client t...

Architectures for Machine Control

A major impediment to improving the performance and functionality of machine tools is the limited access that users or third parties have to the internals of the machine controller. This limit has suppressed the emergence of a community of third-party vendors who could provide a wide range of applications at competitive prices. The result is that users are often faced with all-or-nothing compro...

Model-driven Service-oriented Architectures

Towards Dynamic Model Driven Architectures

Scientific applications using data from networks of sensors must be both highly flexible and high performing. A service-oriented architecture makes sense for modelling such applications, but not for implementing them, due to performance issues and architectural mismatch. In this paper we present an architecture that aims at solving these problems. Applications are modelled as services in a serv...
