3. Project Goal
Project aims at designing a new generation middleware platform (UBIWARE) which will allow creation of self-managed complex industrial systems consisting of mobile, distributed, heterogeneous, shared and reusable components of different nature.

DELIVERABLE D1.2 Workpackage WP7

7. workpackage WP-7
Tasks
There are three industrial cases, those of ABB, Fingrid and Metso Automation.
During the Year 1, with respect to all three cases the following tasks are to be performed :
Task T1.1_w7: Case analysis: identification of relevant industrial resources, their dependencies and interactions.
Task T1.2_w7: Connecting to relevant industrial resources: Development
of appropriate resource adapters.

Interesting in ABB case
Already provides a demonstration of how S-APL integrates programming with semantic reasoning:
Normal programming tasks like data access, data transmission between agents, HTML interface production.
Semantic reasoning – interpretation of data.
Is a good case for demonstrating in (a very near future) the configurability (WP4) of UBIWARE:
Many “constants” used now in reasoning are customer-specific and can be changed – so must be easily (re-) configurable

Already provides a demonstration of advanced inter-agent communication (WP2) in UBIWARE:
DB agent works as a semantic database. It can answer any query on that that using standard Informer.sapl model
DB agent also uses the standard Follower.sapl model, so it is able to execute an arbitrary piece of S-APL code (provided by User agent) – in this case to calculate the statistics from its data.
Is a good case for demonstrating in (a very near future) the security (WP3) in UBIWARE:
Informer and especially Follower functions of the DB agent should become policy-restricted – not every agent can access and not any code can be executed.

19. Status Report of other Workpackages
The main part of the development work in WP1 and WP2 has been done already at the time of Checkpoint 1. Some modifications and improvements to the workpackages were done during company cases development.
The development work in WP3 and WP4 was postponed while work on the industrial prototypes was done. However, an architectural view on how WP3 and WP4 will be implemented does already exist. The actual development has also already been started.
Regarding the workpackage WP5, an architecture of the first year prototype of Intelligent Interface is designed, first prototype of GUI-Shell is developed and work on a simple MetaProvider is in process.
