Service Orientation in Production Control

Service orientation is one of the most discussed topics in the world of application integration. It seems to be the new paradigm for application integration infrastructures and directly bridges between the process-oriented business world and the application-oriented world of IT. However, the benefits of service orientation are not limited to largescaled service enterprises such as insurance companies. It has the potential of enabling other major developments in production control as the rise of intelligent decision support systems that allow for advanced maintenance, failure prediction and machinery protection.
In this paper, we present the basic principles of service orientation, discuss its benefits and shortcomings, and show how this is being adapted to the INT-MANUS common infrastructure. It is shown, how service-orientation relates to knowledge management and business intelligence and what we can expect from service-oriented production control systems of the future.

Case-based reasoning (CBR) technique; paper structure
Submitted by ashraf_afify on Tue, 04/07/2006 - 4:45pm.

Hi,

You mentioned in section 2.3 that the CBR method can be used to retrieve process decriptions. Could you give more details about this method and how it can be adopted with this application.

I have a comment on the structure of the paper: the paper does not include two important sections, namely, organisation and conclusions/summary.

Thank you

CBR

The main idea of the case based subprocess retrieval is the assumption that similar problems require similar measures for their correction.
Problems or minor errors are characterised by a set of parameters indicating the current state of a machine, e.g. temperatures, frequencies etc. Likewise, subprocesses (we are talking of very few steps as error correcting measures) can be characterised. The key to problem solving is now to find an appropriate measure to an arising problem. Therefore, a similarity measure weighting the importance of each parameter of the current machine status has to be introduced. Based on the similarity of a problem with its possible corrective actions, one can be chosen and applied.

Best regards,
Wolfgang
