A general goal in industrial control applications is on one hand to distribute intelligence to the devices and on the other hand to integrate production management with the business processes.
Our objective is to find generic approaches for selecting IT platforms and algorithms on the basis of user requirements and develop high quality specifications for the systems. Semantic and agent-based architectures and SOA as well as secure automation networks are the paradigms in focus within implementation.
