Current market requirements in industrial sector have motivated the development and adoption of digital manufacturing software tools for control systems design, training, and process optimization. This practice, known as Virtual Commissioning, emulates the real process behavior in a computer software environment. This technology represents an opportunity for education where the virtual emulatio...

Cloud computing has rapidly emerged as an accepted computing paradigm in many areas such as office and enterprise systems worldwide. But still industrial automation domain has slow movement toward this technology due to the automation’s certain requirements which are differed in many aspects from common IT systems. Thus far, existing works related to cloud computing for automation frequently co...

In addition to the growing complexity of software systems, test effort takes increasing amounts of time and correspondingly more money. Testing costs may be reduced without compromising on software quality by minimizing test sets through optimal selection of test cases and introducing more powerful test tools. Attaining high levels of test automation is the objective. There are problems which m...

The aim of home automation is to control home devices from a central control point. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a low cost but yet flexible and secure internet based home automation system. The communication between the devices is wireless. The protocol between the units in the design is enhanced to be suitable for most of the appliances. The system is designed to...

There has been a rapid growth in the extremes of Industrial Monitoring and Control, particularly in the domain of Automation processes. This is due to the extensive involvement of automation in every industry possible and the ease of maintenance is only multiplied by the advances of the automation technology. This needs an efficient way of monitoring and control of the industrial processes. Mor...

A survey of the history of how humans have interacted with automation is presented. Starting with the early introduction of automation into the Industrial Revolution to the modern applications that occur in unmanned air vehicle systems, many issues are brought to light. Levels of automation are quantified and a preliminary list delineating what tasks humans can perform better than machines is p...

Abstract: Efficient control of industrial robots is an important factor in the success of industrial automation. Motion planning of robot manipulators is one of the challenging problems encountered in this field. This paper proposes a method for the motion planning of the redundant planar manipulators. The main idea is to find a smooth path consisting of points close enough to each other and ge...
