Several real-world problems in domain of healthcare, large scale scientific simulations, and manufacturing are organised as workflow applications. Efficiently managing workflow applications on the Cloud computing data-centres is challenging due to the following problems: (i) they need to perform computation over sensitive data (e.g. Healthcare workflows) hence leading to additional security and...

In cloud manufacturing environment, for a scheduling Job, there may be a lot of servicizing manufacturing resources and manufacturing capability that can be used to support for its realizing. Therefore, how to efficiently solve FJSS problem becomes more complex and significant. First, this paper uses disjunctive graph model to analyze the characteristic of FJSS problems, and then, focusing on m...

This paper draws an analogy between developments in enterprise software and in capital goods manufacturing industry. Many branches of manufacturing industry, especially automotive industry, have grown in maturity by moving from craftsmanship to mass production. These industries subsequently move from mass production towards mass customization, introducing lean practices. Finally, full maturity ...

Connected devices are expected to grow to 50 billion in 2020. Through our industrial partners and their use cases, we validated the importance of inflight data processing to produce results with low latency, in particular local and global data analytics capabilities. In order to cope with the scalability challenges posed by distributed streaming analytics scenarios, we propose two new technolog...

Future Internet technologies (BigData, Cloud Computing, Mobile Web Apps, etc.) offer manufacturing industries the possibility to engage in a digital transformation leveraging advanced business processes. Furthermore, IoT technologies are enabling technologies for new Smart Manufacturing solutions. The FITMAN project, Future Internet Technologies for Manufacturing Industries, is working on the d...

Cloud computing services, which allow users to lease time on remote computer systems, must be particularly attractive to smaller engineering organizations that use engineering simulation software. Such organizations have occasional need for substantial computing power but may lack the budget and in-house expertise to purchase and maintain such resources locally. The case study presented in this...

Recent advances in ICT enable the evolution of the manufacturing industry to meet the new requirements of the society. Cyber-physical systems, Internet-of-Things (IoT), and Cloud computing, play a key role in the fourth industrial revolution known as Industry 4.0. The microservice architecture has evolved as an alternative to SOA and promises to address many of the challenges in software develo...

With the rapid development of cloud manufacturing, industrial production with edge computing as core architecture has been greatly developed. However, devices often suffer from abnormalities and failures in production. Therefore, detecting these abnormal situations timely accurately is crucial for manufacturing. As such, a straightforward solution that device uploads data to anomaly detection. ...
