This presentation proposes CAPS, an architecture-driven
modeling framework for the development of Situational Aware
Cyber-Physical Systems.
Situational Awareness involves being aware of what is
happening in the surroundings, and using this information
to decide and act. It has been recognized as a critical,
yet often elusive, foundation for successful decision-making
in complex systems. With the advent of cyber-physical systems
(CPS), situational awareness is playing an increasingly
important role especially in crowd and fleets management,
infrastructure monitoring, and smart city applications. While
specializing cyber physical systems, Situational Aware CPS
requires the continuous monitoring of environmental conditions
and events with respect to time and space. New architectural
concerns arise, especially related to the sense , compute &
communication paradigm, the use of domain-specific hardware
components, and the cyber-physical space dimension.
This work illustrates the CAPS modeling languages used
to describe the software architecture, hardware configuration,
and physical space views for a situational aware CPS.
The document summarizes the LightKone H2020 project, which aims to develop a model for general-purpose computing on edge networks. The project brings together 9 partners over 3 years with a budget of 3.57M€. It combines synchronization-free programming and hybrid gossip techniques to enable applications to run efficiently on heterogeneous edge networks despite their dynamic and unreliable nature. The goal is to address challenges of edge computing like latency, scalability, resilience and security by performing more computations locally at network edges rather than centralized data centers. Several use cases are highlighted like sensor-based management, content search, community network services and factory transportation. Open-source software is being developed to serve both independent edge and hybrid edge-datacenter models.

OSGi for European and Japanese smart cities - experiences and lessons learnt ...mfrancis
OSGi Community Event 2016 Presentation by Levent Gurgen (CEA)
Internet of Things (IoT) is the digital skin of the physical world. It has specific requirements such as dynamicity to self-adapt to the continuously changing physical context. The world is heterogeneous and the objects should interoperate to collaborate, thus interoperability is essential. Openness and short learning curve are other requirements so that innovators (e.g. startups) can rapidly build applications with reduced time-to-market and avoid vendor lock-in. Reuse of software and hardware is also particularly important since billion of devices are expected to be deployed in the coming decades and those devices should be multi-purpose and reusable by applications from different domains and not be specific to a given domain.
OSGi has – since 15 years ago – the answers to those requirements of today’s IoT. Its powerful run-time environment for the dynamicity, its service-oriented approach hiding heterogeneity, its modularity making the reuse extremely simple, and last but not least, its open approach giving the potential to democratize the IoT.
The talk will illustrate the benefits of OSGi for IoT with concrete deployed examples, in particular in smart city domain in Europe and Japan via the collaborative projects such as ClouT and FESTIVAL.

On the Use of Component-Based Principles and Practices for Architecting Cyber...Henry Muccini
Abstract—By focussing on Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), this
paper investigates how component-based principles and practices are used and support the activity of architecting CPS. For doing so, by running a systematic process, we selected 49 primary studies from the most important publishers search engines. Those papers have been analyzed and their contents classified according to the Classification Framework for Component Models proposed in our previous work. The results show that the main concerns handled by CPS component models are those of integration, performance, and maintainability. The instruments to satisfy those concerns, while architecting CPS, are ad-hoc software/system architecture, model-based approaches, architectural and component languages, and design. The IEC 61499 standard with its functions block is remarkably used to drive the work on six papers. Java is the most frequently used programming language used for implementing the components. Components are deployed mostly at compile time. Interfaces are almost equally distributed into port-based and operation-based. Overall, the results show a transition of technologies and approaches used in Embedded Systems to CPS, but still lacking methods for integrated architecting, in particular in incremental development.
Newly poured concrete opposing hot and windy conditions is considerably susceptible to plastic shrinkage cracking. Crack-free concrete structures are essential in ensuring high level of durability and functionality as cracks allow harmful instances or water to penetrate in the concrete resulting in structural damages, e.g. reinforcement corrosion or pressure application on the crack sides due to water freezing effect. Among other factors influencing plastic shrinkage, an important one is the concrete surface humidity evaporation rate. The evaporation rate is currently calculated in practice by using a quite complex Nomograph, a process rather tedious, time consuming and prone to inaccuracies. In response to such limitations, three analytical models for estimating the evaporation rate are developed and evaluated in this paper on the basis of the ACI 305R-10 Nomograph for “Hot Weather Concreting”. In this direction, several methods and techniques are employed including curve fitting via Genetic Algorithm optimization and Artificial Neural Networks techniques. The models are developed and tested upon datasets from two different countries and compared to the results of a previous similar study. The outcomes of this study indicate that such models can effectively re-develop the Nomograph output and estimate the concrete evaporation rate with high accuracy compared to typical curve-fitting statistical models or models from the literature. Among the proposed methods, the optimization via Genetic Algorithms, individually applied at each estimation process step, provides the best fitting result.

This presentation revisits Chapter 5 of Roy Fielding's PhD dissertation on REST, clarifying concepts that are often misunderstood in modern web design—such as hypermedia controls within representations and the role of hypermedia in managing application state.
The use of huge quantity of natural fine aggregate (NFA) and cement in civil construction work which have given rise to various ecological problems. The industrial waste like Blast furnace slag (GGBFS), fly ash, metakaolin, silica fume can be used as partly replacement for cement and manufactured sand obtained from crusher, was partly used as fine aggregate. In this work, MATLAB software model is developed using neural network toolbox to predict the flexural strength of concrete made by using pozzolanic materials and partly replacing natural fine aggregate (NFA) by Manufactured sand (MS). Flexural strength was experimentally calculated by casting beams specimens and results obtained from experiment were used to develop the artificial neural network (ANN) model. Total 131 results values were used to modeling formation and from that 30% data record was used for testing purpose and 70% data record was used for training purpose. 25 input materials properties were used to find the 28 days flexural strength of concrete obtained from partly replacing cement with pozzolans and partly replacing natural fine aggregate (NFA) by manufactured sand (MS). The results obtained from ANN model provides very strong accuracy to predict flexural strength of concrete obtained from partly replacing cement with pozzolans and natural fine aggregate (NFA) by manufactured sand.

This research presents the optimization techniques for reinforced concrete waffle slab design because the EC2 code cannot provide an efficient and optimum design. Waffle slab is mostly used where there is necessity to avoid column interfering the spaces or for a slab with large span or as an aesthetic purpose. Design optimization has been carried out here with MATLAB, using genetic algorithm. The objective function include the overall cost of reinforcement, concrete and formwork while the variables comprise of the depth of the rib including the topping thickness, rib width, and ribs spacing. The optimization constraints are the minimum and maximum areas of steel, flexural moment capacity, shear capacity and the geometry. The optimized cost and slab dimensions are obtained through genetic algorithm in MATLAB. The optimum steel ratio is 2.2% with minimum slab dimensions. The outcomes indicate that the design of reinforced concrete waffle slabs can be effectively carried out using the optimization process of genetic algorithm.

Several studies have established that strength development in concrete is not only determined by the water/binder ratio, but it is also affected by the presence of other ingredients. With the increase in the number of concrete ingredients from the conventional four materials by addition of various types of admixtures (agricultural wastes, chemical, mineral and biological) to achieve a desired property, modelling its behavior has become more complex and challenging. Presented in this work is the possibility of adopting the Gene Expression Programming (GEP) algorithm to predict the compressive strength of concrete admixed with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) as Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs). A set of data with satisfactory experimental results were obtained from literatures for the study. Result from the GEP algorithm was compared with that from stepwise regression analysis in order to appreciate the accuracy of GEP algorithm as compared to other data analysis program. With R-Square value and MSE of -0.94 and 5.15 respectively, The GEP algorithm proves to be more accurate in the modelling of concrete compressive strength.
