The document discusses a paper presented at the ICWS 2013 conference on maintaining a dynamic view of semantic web services in factory automation systems. It outlines a research goal focused on updating a domain model of production systems through encapsulated semantic web services and event-based updates. Key findings suggest using user-specified rules or OWL-S descriptions for automating updates, with further research needed on integration, security, and timing issues.

4. Problem Domain
1.7.2013
ICWS 2013
4
•Primary application domain: factory automation
•In principle: any web service –based system

5. Research Goal Summary
•Production System devices are encapsulated by semantic web services (‘domain services’).
•The production system is represented by an OWL model (‘domain model’).
•The production system is controlled by composing the semantic web services to achieve production goals.

The domain model must be dynamically updated as the domain services are invoked.

6. General Event-based Domain Model Update Pattern
•An ‘Ontology Service’ hosts the domain model.
•A ‘listener service’ monitors domain services and sends update requests to Ontology Service.

7. Dynamic Domain Model Update Approaches
•2 alternative approaches based on
–User-specified update rules
–Semantic web service descriptions (OWL-S)

•The domain consists of 12 similar cells connected into a cyclic production line.

9. Application Example Web Services
•The system involves 12 instances of both the robot and the conveyor service.

12. Application Example, Using Update Rules
1.7.2013

The application scenario requires creating update rules
→ Ontology Manager sends the effect expressions to Ontology Service.

14. Application Example, Using Service OWL-S Descriptions
•Service Monitor automatically extracts domain update rules from OWL-S descriptions → sends the condition and effect expressions to Ontology Service

15. Recap
1.7.2013
ICWS 2013
15
•Event notifications indicate changes in the domain state
•The event listener service updates the domain model → provides the basis for decision-making

16. Conclusions
•User-specified rules are
–Laborious to specify but
–Domain-independent
•Using semantic web service descriptions
–Is domain-dependent but
–Can be fully automated
•Further research challenges:
–Semantic integration
–Security and timing issues
–Observing the initial domain state
