One of the emerging control problem in manufacturing systems is the ―information interoperability (I 2 )‖ problem: information is required to be coherent and congruent with the specific use, particularly in interfacing manufacturing processes, at any stage of the product lifecycle management. Lack of comprehension, misunderstandings as well as redundant activities are typically signs of I 2 problems. Standardisation initiatives, in the frame of ISO and IEC (IEC 62264), try to answer these problems by specifying the information related to products, manufacturing resources and processes. These represent the most assessed corpus of knowledge for business to manufacturing (B2M) applications interoperability, available so far for studying and solving the I 2 issues. This paper tries to trace a path for studying the I 2 problems in production-control systems, by a formalisation procedure to build an ontology-based model, based on the IEC 62264 standard.

Information flows and products traceability are considered as tools to protect consumer safety. To meet traceability requirements, it is mandatory to find a system able to trace all relevant information related to the product lifecycle. This information is quite often scattered within organizations. The heterogeneity of applications induces a sort of “Babel tower effect”, which causes traceability problems, leading systems to fail at collecting information from different and heterogeneous sources to effectively trace the product lifecycle. Generally speaking, this kind of problem falls within the umbrella of interoperability problems. This paper postulates a different point of view to resolve these problems, the product-driven point of view, starting from the observation that the product is the common element perceived in all manufacturing operations and that added values are engraved on it unequivocally. The paper extends previous research activities by sketching a common informati...

There is a growing focus on achieving competitive advantage through the dynamic reconfiguration of the value chain. It is advocated that as a result of conceptual and technology convergence, BPM is now ready to be the enabler of this dynamic reconfiguration capability. Business processing is increasing in complexity. It is proposed that there are two dimensions to complexity: breadth complexity

Abstract: In order to increase enterprise performance, economics paradigms focus, now more than ever, on how to better manage information. The modern architecture of information systems is based on distributed networks with a grand challenge representing and sharing knowledge managed by those ISs. One of the main issues in making such heterogeneous Cooperative Information Systems (CIS) working together is to remove semantics interoperability barriers.

Information in enterprise is, now more than ever, a fundamental resource. In order to increase enterprise performance, economics paradigms focus on how to better manage it. Information Systems (IS) are systems whose activities are devoted to capture and to store data, to process them and produce knowledge, used by any stakeholders within an enterprise or among different networked enterprises. The modern architecture of information systems is based on distributed networks.

Résumé: Nowadays, the need for systems collaboration across enterprises and through different domains has become more and more ubiquitous. Due to the lack of standardized models or architecture, as well as semantic mismatching and inconsistencies, research works on information and model exchange, trans-formation, discovery and reuse are carried out in recent years.

Over several decades, control theory has developed its own set of more or less formal modelling techniques designed to automatically control the dynamic behaviour of complicated manufacturing systems and processes. The emerging Internet society is addressing new enterprise control and management integration (ECMI) challenges for agile business to manufacturing (B2M) purposes which enlarge the traditional setting of Automation Engineering to the systems engineering (SE) approach. In order to cope with the increasing complexity of integrating intelligence/information-intensive manufacturing automation within the networked manufacturing enterprise, Automation Engineering should be integrated into the systems engineering approach to achieve a holistic approach that treats in fine the technical operational manufacturing system emerging from the deployment of an ad hoc combination of formal and informal partial models. This paper emphasises that a Holonic Manufacturing Execution System Engineering (HMESE) approach should be a relevant B2M SE approach along with other relevant scientific, industrial and educational areas dealing with information and intelligence control and management issues in agile automation.

This paper presents a framework for developing engineering design ontologies within the aerospace industry. The aim of this approach is to strengthen the modularity and reuse of engineering design ontologies to support knowledge management initiatives within the aerospace industry. Successful development and effective utilisation of engineering ontologies strongly depends on the method/framework used to develop them. Ensuring modularity in ontology design is essential for engineering design activities due to the complexity of knowledge that is required to be brought together to support the product design decision-making process. The proposed approach adopts best practices from previous ontology development methods, but focuses on encouraging modular architectural ontology design. The framework is comprised of three phases namely: (1) Ontology design and development; (2) Ontology validation and (3) Implementation of ontology structure. A qualitative research methodology is employed w...

Design to Environmental (DtE) proposes an environmental parameter optimisation among the other design parameters to support the emergence of ecodesigned products that bring environmental value to the society. Numerous information systems have been developed to support the integration of domain-specific parameters. However, it is still unclear how well they perform together in supporting the emergence of ecodesigned products. This research focusses on identifying the information model characteristics needed to change a conventional design process into a DtE process. A framework for industry to find out the proper information models that will support their DtE practice is proposed through a model-view-controller structure, accessed from an operational level. Supporting frequent environmental information sharing, encouraging environmental and product designers operational initiatives, as well as measuring the environmental performance of the DtE process through local operational indicators are fondamental characteristics required for supporting product designers and environmental expertise successful collaboration in DtE. The novelty of this research is to provide a clear method to industries to find out in their information system a environmental optimisation support.

The Unified Enterprise Modelling Language (UEML) aims at supporting integrated use of enterprise and IS models expressed using different languages. To achieve this aim, UEML offers a hub through which modelling languages can be connected, thereby paving the way for also connecting the models expressed in those languages.

Semantic annotation is one of the useful solutions to enrich target's (systems, models, meta-models, etc.) information. There are some papers which use semantic enrichment for different purposes (integration, composition, sharing and reuse, etc.) in several domains, but none of them provides a complete process of how to use semantic annotations. This paper identifies three main components of semantic annotation, proposes for it a formal definition and presents a survey of current semantic annotation methods.

In this position paper, we summarize our achievements in the research and development of formal framework for semantic interoperability in supply networks. First, we identify common problems of traditional supply chains and argue that interoperability of enterprise information systems is crucial for their resolution. Second, we discuss on the foundational aspects of semantic interoperability and criteria for its evaluation. Third, multiple abstraction layers of this framework are described, including 1) individual enterprises’ realities, namely, local ontologies, 2) common collaborative practices, namely, formalizations of relevant reference models, and 3) application ontologies. Finally, we identify gaps and provide guidelines for the future research in the topic.
