Application system and services: design and implementation - a cook book

Publication . Delsing, Jerker; Albano, Michele; Ferreira, Luís Lino; Blomstedt, Frederik; Olovsson, Per; Varga, Pal

In previous chapters local automation clouds and a SOA based architecture supporting the design and implementation of IoT based automation systems. This chapter is devoted to design and implement of application services. The ambition is to discuss: • Design of an Arrowhead Framework system • Implementation of such system and its services • Interoperability test

Arrowhead Framework core systems and services

Publication . Delsing, Jerker; Eliasson, Jens; Albano, Michele; Varga, Pal; Ferreira, Luís Lino; Derhamy, Hasan; Hegedus, Csaba; Puñal Pereira, Pablo; Carlsson, Oscar

In chapter 2 local clouds was discussed followed by a local cloud automation architecture in chapter 3. The automation architecture supports the implementation of local automation clouds. Such implementation is supported by the Arrowhead Framework and its core Systems and Services. The Arrowhead Framework core systems enables the creation and operation of local clouds. First implementation of these systems and their services are described in detail in this chapter. There currently are two types of core services within the Arrowhead Framework: - Mandatory core systems - needed to establish the minimal local cloud - Automation support core systems – extending local cloud capabilities intending to provide support for the design and operation of local automation clouds an interaction between local clouds.

Making system of systems interoperable – The core components of the arrowhead framework

Publication . Varga, Pal; Blomstedt, Fredrik; Lino Ferreira, Luis; Eliasson, Jens; Johansson, Mats; Delsing, Jerker; Martínez de Soria, Iker

The objective of the Arrowhead Framework is to efficiently support the development, deployment and operation of interconnected, cooperative systems. It is based on the Service Oriented Architecture philosophy. The building elements of the framework are systems that provide and consume services, and cooperate as systems of systems. Some commonly used systems, such as orchestration, authorization or service registry are considered as core. These can be used by any system of systems that follow the guidelines of the Arrowhead Framework. Within the framework, systems – using different information exchange technologies during collaboration – are helped through various approaches. These include the so-called Interoperability Layer, as well as systems and services for translation. Furthermore, one of the main problems of developing such highly interoperable systems is the lack of understanding between various development groups. Adequate development and service documentation methodologies can help to overcome this issue. The design, development and verification methodology for each service, system and system of systems within the Arrowhead Framework supports that these can be implemented, verified, deployed, and run in an interoperable way. This paper presents an overview of the framework together with its core elements – and provides guidelines for the design and deployment of interoperable, Arrowhead-compliant cooperative systems.

Application system design – energy optimization

Publication . Albano, Michele; Castiñeira, Rodrigo; Desdouits, Chloé; Lino Ferreira, Luis; Le Guilly, Thibaut; Isasa, Inge; Jokinen, Jani; Kondratjevs, Kaspars; Kunicina, Nadezhda; Manero, Lorenzo; Milo, Aitor; Monge, Javier; Le Pape, Claude; Pedersen, Per; Pedersen, Torben; Olsen, Petur; Siksnys, Laurynas; Skou, Arne; Stluka, Petr; Zabasta, Anatolijs

In this chapter, we present a number of applications of the Arrowhead Framework with special attention to services related to awareness and optimization of energy consumption. First, we present the notion of FlexOffers as a general mechanism for describing energy flexibility. FlexOffers can be aggregated into larger flexibility units to be used as an Arrowhead service in the virtual market of energy [1]. This is followed by two examples on how to exploit such a flexibility service in the energy management of heatpumps and a campus building. Then we present two examples on how to exploit renewable energy to provide elevator services. Next, two examples of context aware services are described – smart lighting and smart car heating, and finally it is described how the Arrowhead Framework can play a role in the optimization of municipal service systems. In the final section, we indicate future work.

The Arrowhead Framework architecture

Publication . Delsing, Jerker; Varga, Pal; Ferreira, Luís Lino; Albano, Michele; Puñal Pereira, Pablo; Eliasson, Jens; Carlsson, Oscar; Derhamy, Hasan

The objective of Arrowhead Framework architecture is to facilitate the creation of local automation clouds. Thus enabling local real time performance and security. Paired with simple and cheap engineering. While simultaneously enabling scalability through multi cloud interaction. The architecture addresses the move from large monolithic organisations towards multi-stakeholder cooperations where cooperation are fostered by market requirements. This is to support the high level topics in today’s society such as sustainability, flexibility, efficiency and competitiveness in production.
