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...

A modular architecture for object tracking and migration in self-organizing, distributed systems

Object tracking in networked systems is a widely used scenario to assess newly designed methods in the field of association and estimation. This is mainly due to a great interest in object tracking applications. Current research is focused on designing dedicated tracking algorithms suitable for a particular setup of a tracking system. As a...

Applications of Self-Organizing Systems in Maritime Environments

Maritime platforms are becoming increasingly complex to maintain and operate, due to rising demands in terms of operational capabilities, functional robustness and cost efficiency. Moreover, with an ongoing demand for reduced manning the need for more capable and clever control systems is obvious. Conventional automation approaches typically...
