Since their beginning in the mid 1990s, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) have
significantly evolved into more powerful and more integrated software applications as …

Enterprise control system integration between business systems, manufacturing execution
systems and shop-floor process-control systems remains a key issue for facilitating the …

With increasing requirements for the amount of data transmitted by train communication
networks (TCN), the industrial Ethernet has become a solution with large transmission rates …

In this paper we define perceptual phase capacity as the size of a codebook of phase
spectra necessary to represent all possible phase spectra in a perceptually accurate …

With the deep integration of information and communication technology, the network
performance of existing switched Ethernet cannot meet the growing control and …

In this paper, we show how Network Calculus can be used to determine whether a switched
network may satisfy the time constraints of a real-time application. If switched architecture …

During the concept design of complex networked systems, concept developers have to
ensure that the choice of hardware modules and the topology of the target platform will …

The growing intelligence of the nowadays distribution grids is due to the integration of
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Such a development is converting the …

This paper considers the fault detection problem of networked control systems with limited
data transmission rate. In order to reduce the network load and thus avoid the uncertainty …

This paper presents a novel genetic algorithm to solve the industrial Ethernet network
partition problem (IENPP). A new switch-device encoding is presented for the problem, and …
