International audienceSystems Engineering (SE) best practices are currently guided by standardized processes which must be adapted by skill rules in order to specialize domain-dependent SE workflows as well as domain independent standardized languages. This paper aims to revisit first the interdisciplinary relationships within a SE process as specification relationships between Problem Space (PS) and Solution Space (SS) across collaborative domains. This SE rationale is then applied on a Requirement Specification (RS) workflow formalized with high-level Petri nets and verified on a human-robot protection case-study
In industrial system control, the human-system interaction represents one of the challenges, especially from the field operator's point of view. This interaction is usually guided by procedures. Nevertheless, the adage "error is human" is mainly confirmed in support phases such as maintenance, generally during shutdown and restarting phases. The solution proposed in this paper is to enhance the digital capabilities of the field operator in order to better balance the role distribution between the system and the human. Engineering this humansystem interaction as a whole requires formal methodologies in order to define, develop and deploy digital solutions distributed over the technical system and the human operator, seen together as a unique socio-technical system. Ambient paradigm, infotronics technologies, as well as SysML modelling language are the key elements employed herein in order to improve the digital human-system interaction for industrial system control.
In every day life, thousands of objects are fabricated, thousands of objects enter and exit warehouses, thousands of objects are sold in supermarkets. For a good quality of service, these places have to supervise every object, anytime and anywhere, during the passage of the object through theirs environments. So, the necessity of a smart object, that possesses a unique identifier, contains information about itself, could take care of itself and that communicate with the environment in which it is, using specialized services, has arrived. In this article we demonstrate the concept of a smart object, created using RFID and UPnP technologies.
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.
