The paper deals with the problem of modeling and implementation of distributed automation systems for manufacturing applications. In particular, a novel approach has been conceived. A suitable meta-model of the production system has been derived, compliant with the state-of-the-art industrial standards. After the compilation and validation stages, an ontology is derived containing all the necessary definitions of modeling entities and constraints, to be used directly and explicitly in the execution of the control code. This entitles the control application to be defined as "model-driven" or better "ontology-driven". The results are obtained within the running EU project PABADIS'PROMISE (P2).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
