Interoperability in self-organizing systems of multiple enterprises - A case on improving turnaround time prediction at logistics hubs

Besides supporting bilateral transactions, enterprise interoperability can also be applied to coordinate operational processes of stakeholders. With today's technology, each of these stakeholders can be equipped with actuators like applications on smart devices. Where applications support interaction of a user with its environment, smart devices...

Runtime Logistic Process Orchestration Based on Business Transaction Choreography

Today logistic systems are business document based, e.g. processing ship manifest, load lists, declarations, and shipping instructions. Business processes are organized in handling these business documents in the context of framework contracts with business partners. Implementations of new requirements like the Entry Summary Declaration 24 hours...

Influence of hysteresis on the dynamics of cryogenic LNG composite hoses

In order to assess the influence of hysteretic bending behaviour of hoses used for LNG transfer in dynamic environments, a modelling strategy is set up. The modelling allows to include arbitrary internal frictional effects in the hose. After identifying the parameters for various friction models based on measurement results performed on the...

Real-Time Common Awareness in Communication Constrained Sensor Systems

Sensor systems need to be more adaptive to perform well in dynamically changing environments. Common awareness in sensor systems enables distributed agents to perform coordinated actions and reason about other agents. In addition, physical distribution of the agents in the network prevent a single point of failure and provides distributed...
