“…Himmler et al [12] have developed a function-based engineering framework, illustrating how a structured and standardized description of a large system can improve the interdisciplinary collaboration throughout the engineering of a plant. As this framework uses a strict functional hierarchy as its basic structure for description of the plant it will present a view that is familiar to many process and automation engineers but if it is the only structure that can provide a good overview of the plant it may become cumbersome to other disciplines such as technicians, maintenance engineers and others that are more concerned with physical hardware.…”

Abstract-The emergence and deployment of connected devices in many domains of application (e.g. industrial production, buildings and facilities, urban environment, etc.) have resulted in the need to achieve integration of multiple and more complex systems. This new environment is stressing the intrinsic limits imposed by monolithic standards, data models and integration methods that focus on specific domains of application, types of systems, or specific aspects of a system. This paper describes the Plant Description Service developed as part of the Arrowhead Interoperability framework (EU ECSEL funded project). The manuscript contains a description of the abstract system descriptive model based on which the Plant Description service was implemented, and describes how the service can be used to achieve integration of several industry standards and data models. One use case and one case study is provided that illustrates how the service was practically implemented to support engineering scenarios in the domain of industrial production. The paper concludes with a critical review of the approach and suggestion for future work and developments.
