Framework for Simulation Integration

TL;DR: A platform for the integration of simulations and industrial SCADA systems supporting complex data access and simulation code re-use and a layered model of the Integration architecture and formulation of the integration requirements in the industrial automation domain are proposed.

TL;DR: The main contributions are the concept of semantic configuration of the service bus and the workflows of simulation design and Integration, to improve the efficiency of simulation model design and integration.

TL;DR: A method for the systematic and semi-automated design of simulation models, intended mainly for signal-oriented simulators such as MATLAB-Simulink, that extends bond graphs with a concept of component implementations and annotations of their interfaces.

TL;DR: The proposed architecture addresses a SCADA level of the automation pyramid and demonstrates on a use-case dealing with a set of distributed combined heat and power units, which should be integrated into a single virtual power plant.

TL;DR: This paper introduces the concept of the “Automation Service Bus” (ASB) based on technical and semantic integration concepts for general software engineering tools and systems and discusses the state of the art, innovation benefits and limitations, and derive research issues for further work.

TL;DR: This paper introduces the concept of the “Engineering Service Bus” (EngSB), a concept based on established Enterprise Service Bus concepts for business software systems that allows prototyping new variants of software engineering processes and derive research issues for further work.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe how Garland Power and Light (USA), a medium-sized municipal electric utility serving a population of about 200,000 and a customer base of about 70,000, has chosen to take a proactive path and is equipping its substations with distribution automation tools for power quality monitoring and better control of restoration techniques during outages.

TL;DR: An architecture for integrating supervisory tools into object-oriented frameworks for industrial automation applications and real case studies have been developed, including the supervisory control of a chemical plant's prototype and the development of man-machine interfaces for food industry.
