Expansion of IFC Data Model to Kinematic Sensor at IJUP2012 by Bruno FerreiraJoao Rio
The instrumentation and structural health monitoring has gained a growing importance in the construction industry. However, the resulting data has not been properly handled. In order to correct this factor, is intended to integrate the data collected in information management systems such as BIM. The BIM is based on the idea of integrating all information related to a building or project in a single digital model. This information can be associated prior or during construction of the building or even during its lifetime. These tools have developed rapidly, increasing their chances of information management.
The purpose of this study is the information management from the instrumentation and structural health monitoring. As to achieve this goal, it was studied a standard construction model, with the use of a common language. This model is referred as IFC. In this work is performed an assessment of the applicability of the IFC model, as a format for information exchange between sensors and BIM. It was proposed the extension of the model based on kinematic sensors, since it only includes environmental sensors.
Based on the model above, and using BIM programs, there was a real case study concerning the building of the ―Nave do INEGI‖, using data from actual measurements. It was conducted a three-dimensional model of the building, studied the interoperability between various BIM tools and compatible properties were created within the IFC model capable of delivering the information recorded by the sensors.
Thus, it was studied the issue of the instrumentation and structural health monitoring framed on the BIM software on a scale closer to the real, where the adversities and the problems substantially differ from those presented theoretically. The results suggest that the management of information from the BIM with the data obtained by the sensors becomes achievable.
The document summarizes the components and plans for the Model Development Tools (MDT) project in the upcoming Galileo release in June 2010. It outlines the key components including Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN2), Object Constraint Language (OCL), Papyrus, Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR), Unified Modeling Language 2 (UML2), and proposals like the Metamodel Specification Tools (MST) and Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM). It discusses themes and specific plans to improve compliance, extensibility, currency and usability for each component to appeal to a broader community.

Ensuring optimised design, successful migration and safety compliant systemsTorben Haagh
As the automotive industry continues its steady increase in the utilisation of electrical components and functions, so too is it faced with the challenge of requiring increasing amounts of processing power within its embedded systems. After continued increases, the clock rates are stagnating so that single-core processors are no longer adequate to satisfy many of the next generation embedded system requirements. The basis technology for future embedded systems must therefore be multi- and many-core processors.
Multi-core processors are superior to their single-core predecessor in calculation power and energy efficiency. However, to apply multi-core processors to systems in the embedded domain software developers, integrators and system architects are faced with various new challenges regarding system complexity and controllability. Furthermore, the new technology has an impact on the whole development process and impacts all development phases alike.
IQPC’s Second International Conference “Automotive Embedded Multi-Core Systems” will bring together stakeholders from along the value chain to ensure maximum knowledge transfer and professional exchange. During a full three day programme, you will meet international experts from OEMs, suppliers, and academia to discuss, hear and learn about their experiences and challenges with multi-core design, migration and optimisation.

This document summarizes a study examining the role of business models in the adoption and use of digital collaborative platforms within industry clusters. The study used a design science research methodology, collecting data through questionnaires and interviews with two small-to-medium enterprises in an Italian energy cluster. The findings identified two different business model approaches - an "innovator" firm that actively used the platform to improve visibility, and a more "conservative" firm whose representatives participated less and with more distrust. The document proposes a framework to understand how different business models can influence digital platform adoption and exploitation within clusters.

CloudLightning - Project and Architecture OverviewCloudLightning
This is a PowerPoint presentation delivered by Prof John Morrison (UCC) on 9 December 2016 at the IC4 and Host in Ireland Workshop: Data Centres in Ireland.
Dr. Jochen Friedrich of IBM Technical Relations Europe discusses making public sector information (PSI) available for innovation through open standards and open access to data. The Digital Agenda for Europe calls for governments to make PSI available on transparent terms to stimulate online content markets and innovation. Open data can be innovatively used through collaborative analysis, calculations, cross-sector integration, and new business opportunities. However, PSI currently faces challenges around disparate availability, import processes, and unnecessary technological barriers. Open standards principles of flexibility, interoperability, and cost-effectiveness can help address these issues. Some policy recommendations include developing a pan-European PSI framework, initiating a study on standards and specifications, and developing guidelines
Design of an IT Capstone Subject - Cloud RoboticsITIIIndustries
This paper describes the curriculum of the three year IT undergraduate program at La Trobe University, and the faculty requirements in designing a capstone subject, followed by the ACM’s recommended IT curriculum covering the five pillars of the IT discipline. Cloud robotics, a broad multidisciplinary research area, requiring expertise in all five pillars with mechatronics, is an ideal candidate to offer capstone experiences to IT students. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a long term master project in developing a cloud robotics testbed, with many capstone sub-projects spanning across the five IT pillars, to meet the objectives of capstone experience. This paper also describes the design and implementation of the testbed, and proposes potential capstone projects for students with different interests.

Web Services Presentation - Introduction, Vulnerabilities, & CountermeasuresPraetorian
The concept of web services has become ubiquitous over the last few years. Frameworks are now available across many platforms and languages to greatly ease and expedite the development of web services, often with a vast amount of existing code reuse. Software companies are taking advantage of this by integrating this technology into their products giving increased power and interoperability to their customers. However, the power web services enables also introduces new risks to an environment. As with web applications, development has outpaced the understanding and mitigation of vulnerabilities that arise from this emerging technology. This presentation will first aim to identify the risks associated with web services. We will describe the existing security standards and technologies which target web services (i.e., WS-Security) including its history, pros and cons, and current status. Finally we will attempt to extrapolate the future of this space to determine what changes must be made going forward.
Praetorian's goal is to help our clients understand minimize their overall security exposure and liability. Through our services, your organization can obtain an accurate, independent security assessment.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

4. Enterprise interoperability challenges
•
Enterprise Interoperability [1] is a relatively recent term that describes
a field of activity with the aim to improve the manner in which
enterprises, by means of information and communications technology
(ICT), interoperate with other enterprises, organisations, or with other
business units of the same enterprise, in order to conduct their
business.
•
•
•
•
Interoperability Service Utility (ISU) which envisions interoperability
support as utility-like capabilities that needs to be supported by an
enabling system of services for delivering basic interoperability to
enterprises, independent of particular IT deployment. The term ISU is
used to denote this overall system. The ISU is envisaged to provide
interoperability as a technical, commoditised functionality, delivered as
services.

5. Software-as-a-Service Utility (SaaS-U)
•
•
•
•
•
•
The ISU challenge is addressed by COIN by providing a service
infrastructure for Enterprise Interoperability in the business context of
Enterprise Collaboration.
New business concept – the Software-as-a-Service Utility (SaaS-U)
model.
The SaaS-U paradigm fits well fit the ISU concepts and can be seen
as a software application delivery model where a software vendor
develops Web-native software services and hosts and operates them
for use by its customers over the Internet.
Customers do not pay for owning the software itself any longer but
rather for using it on-demand.
They use it through an API accessible over the Web and often written
using Web services.
The baseline EI services will be offered as Semantic Web Services
on top of the WSMX environment [17].

•
Model-driven interoperability services support enterprises to
formalise, exchange and align models that are relevant to set up
collaborations.
Enterprise modelling interoperability services support enterprises
to factually co-operate with other, external organisations in spite of
e.g., different working practices, legislations, cultures and commercial
approaches.
Business process interoperability services support enterprises to
make proper external views of enterprise internal processes
synchronised by a collaborative inter-enterprise business process.
Semantic mediation interoperability services support enterprises
to apply ontology-based techniques for semantic mediation such as
semantic reconciliation of business documents in order to support
interoperability among heterogeneous software applications.
Data interoperability services support enterprises to exchange
and share business documents among organizations, by filling
interoperability gaps related to the payload (format and content) and
to the messages and/or structures to be exchanged.

•
•
The research projects on interoperability in the European
Commission Sixth Framework Programme have developed a vast set
of standalone software products and tools, as well as some Webbased services to address interoperability issues. However, some of
these solutions are difficult to integrate and use for SMEs.
Experiences from piloting activities in the ATHENA project suggested
that Enterprise Interoperability is very challenging and that the
expected gains from interoperability research will consist in finding
technologies and methods that will fasten interconnection of
applications through standardised Web infrastructure for software
application communication and for collaboration [21].
In the COIN context, Enterprise Interoperability services provide
functionality for applying IT solutions that overcome
interoperability gaps between two or more enterprises and thus
enabling them to set-up and run collaborations.
The main goal of the EI services is to improve interoperability,
mainly for SMEs, which means to reduce the costs of data
reconciliation, systems integration and business processes
synchronization and harmonization.

Benefits for users
1
COIN Model Transformation Service
Engine
SINTEF
The model transformation service engine will be a service entry point for storing model transformations that are aimed at
aligning the huge diversity of models used in the design, integration and implementation tasks of enterprise applications
and systems.
2
COIN POP* Transformation Service
ESI
POP* Transformation service will be exposed a semantic Web service in the COIN platform. This service will provide the
functionality of modelling in the context of POP* to JPDL transformation. The results of the transformation should be
published into the open source JBPMN platform.
3
COIN Enterprise Interoperability
Maturity Assessment Service
ESI
The EIMA will help to assess an organization's maturity level concerning the use of enterprise models as well as the
capability of these models to enable the company to be part of collaboration. Based on this assessment, companies will
be guided to choose the right concepts for improving their capabilities, by taking into account actual market and
enterprise challenges. Following a lightweight scope, the performance of this assessment will be done through an
informal evaluation based on a questionnaire and involving few resources of the organization.
4
COIN Semantic Business Process
Modelling Service
ATOS
The Semantic BP service will help to reduce the complexity of tasks related to transformation between different BP
models as well as transformation in executable process models with semantic annotations.
5
COIN Semantic Business Process
Management Service
ATOS
The BP Management service will to manage the life cycle of deployed BP models independently on the underlying
engines actually executing the model.
6
Athos Ontology Service
CNR
The AthosOntologyService will provide functionalities for ontology management. Ontology is a pre-requisite for
semantics-based mediation and reconciliation of business documents.
7
Astar Semantic Annotation Service
CNR
The AstarSemanticAnnotationService will provide functionalities for management of semantic annotations. Semantic
annotation allows digital resources to be described in terms of a common reference represented by a domain ontology.
Such an activity represents a first identification of semantic and structural mismatches among different information
structures (e.g., business document schemas), which is needed for fulfilling interoperability issues among
heterogeneous information systems.
8
Argos Semantic Transformation Rules
Service
CNR
The ArgosSemanticTransformationRulesService will provide functionalities for management of transformation rules
service. Transformation rules represent the semantic mapping able to drive the mediation and reconciliation.
9
Ares Semantic Reconciliation Service
CNR
The AresSemanticReconciliationService will represents the final step towards the actual mediation and reconciliation of
business documents among heterogeneous information systems.
10
COIN Massive Data Interoperability
Service
TXT
The massive data interoperability is a service to allow communication among a set of multiple data providers and a set
of multiple data consumers. In a multi-point communication, the interoperability problem grows exponentially according
to the number of entities involved in the communication. The service will allow the data providers to “map” their data
structure to the requested schema and “fill” the schema itself with the data coming from their data sources.
11
COIN Transactional Data
Interoperability Service
TXT
The transactional data interoperability is a service that allows the communication between two actors: a customer and a
supplier. The scenario of the communication is the exchange of business documents in the order to invoice procurement
process.

15. Conclusions and future work
•
•
Position the COIN service platform as a technology enabler for
developing and offering Enterprise Interoperability services according
to the Software-as-a-Service Utility (SaaS-U) paradigm.
Candidates for the development of baseline EI services based on
state-of-the-art analysis of previous FP6 research projects. The
development of these services will follow two phases.
• The first phase involves wrapping and potentially re-implementing parts of
the solutions as Web services. (Ongoing)
• The second phase involves enriching the service descriptions with
semantics in order to make them Semantic Web Services. (End of 2008)
•
Future work focused on developing new and innovative EI services for
• (1) information interoperability – new service communication and
coordination in business collaborations.
• (2) knowledge interoperability – develop semantic profiles and the
environment to expose, compare and semantically mediate such profiles.
• (3) business interoperability – provide new formalisms and languages for
interactive and collaborative BPM.
