Application of Semantic Web Services (SWS) relies on ontologies which model existing explicit knowledge in problem domain. Adaptation of SWS to manufacturing industries rises a number of important questions among which is the separation of responsibilities between different vendors starting from system component manufacturers and ending with the system user. This paper gives a possible solution to settle these responsibilities and describes the architecture for the orchestration of semantic web services.
Abstract-The control of manufacturing systems is traditionally addresses the needs of products or product family that the system is going to manufacture. That is, the needs for the products are defined prior to the design of the production line. Although some degree of flexibility (in the terms of product family) can be implemented in the system, such systems may still have limitations in not allowing rapid reconfiguration as a new product with unforeseen needs arrives at runtime. Such a scenario usually requires (partial) reprogramming of the production line to accommodate new products. This paper presents a serviceoriented orchestration framework for seamless integration of service-enabled devices to allow rapid reconfiguration and dynamic discovery of the devices abstracted as web services.
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.
