Digital twins, Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things are becoming ever more important in the process industry. The Semantic Web, linked data, knowledge graphs and web services/agents are key technologies for implementing the above concepts. In this paper, we present a comprehensive semantic agent composition framework. It enables automatic agent discovery and composition to Highlights • The light-weight ontology, OntoAgent, has been developed based on MSM
The J-Park Simulator (JPS) acts as a continuously growing platform for integrating real-time data, knowledge, models, and tools related to process industry.
This paper presents Parallel World Framework as a solution for simulations of complex systems within a time-varying knowledge graph and its application to the electric grid of Jurong Island in Singapore. The underlying modeling system is based on the Semantic Web Stack. Its linked data layer is described by means of ontologies, which span multiple domains. The framework is designed to allow what-if scenarios to be simulated generically, even for complex, inter-linked, cross-domain applications, as well as conducting multi-scale optimizations of complex superstructures within the system. Parallel world containers, introduced by the framework, ensure data separation and versioning of structures crossing various domain boundaries. Separation of operations, belonging to a particular version of the world, is taken care of by a scenario agent. It encapsulates functionality of operations on data and acts as a parallel world proxy to all of the other agents operating on the knowledge graph. Electric network optimization for carbon tax is demonstrated as a use case. The framework allows to model and evaluate electrical networks corresponding to set carbon tax values by retrofitting different types of power generators and optimizing the grid accordingly. The use case shows the possibility of using this solution as a tool for CO2 reduction modeling and planning at scale due to its distributed architecture.
In this paper, we demonstrate through
examples how the concept
of a Semantic Web based knowledge graph can be used to integrate combustion
modeling into cross-disciplinary applications and in particular how
inconsistency issues in chemical mechanisms can be addressed. We discuss
the advantages of linked data that form the essence of a knowledge
graph and how we implement this in a number of interconnected ontologies,
specifically in the context of combustion chemistry. Central to this
is OntoKin, an ontology we have developed for capturing both the content
and the semantics of chemical kinetic reaction mechanisms. OntoKin
is used to represent the example mechanisms from the literature in
a knowledge graph, which itself is part of the existing, more general
knowledge graph and ecosystem of autonomous software agents that are
acting on it. We describe a web interface, which allows users to interact
with the system, upload and compare the existing mechanisms, and query
species and reactions across the knowledge graph. The utility of the
knowledge-graph approach is demonstrated for two use-cases: querying
across multiple mechanisms from the literature and modeling the atmospheric
dispersion of pollutants emitted by ships. As part of the query use-case,
our ontological tools are applied to identify variations in the rate
of a hydrogen abstraction reaction from methane as represented by
10 different mechanisms.
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.
