Chapter
The growing trend of integrating software processes and the physical world created new paradigms, such as, the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems. However, as applications of these paradigms are rolled out, the management of their software and hardware components becomes a challenge, e.g., an update of a mobile system must not only consi...
Book
Complex applications are typically composed of multiple components. In order to install these components all their dependencies need to be satisfied. Typically these dependencies are resolved, downloaded, and installed during the deployment time and in the target environment, e.g., using package manager of the operating system. However, under some...
Book
With the ongoing advances in the area of cloud computing, Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, and the increasing prevalence of cyber-physical systems and devices equipped with sensors, the amount of data generated every second is rising steadily. Thereby, the gathering of data and the creation of added value from this data is getting easier and easie...
Chapter
Service composition is a popular approach for building software applications from several individual services. Using imperative workflow technologies, service compositions can be specified as workflow models comprising activities that are implemented, e.g., by service calls or scripts. While scripts are typically included in the workflow model itse...

Article
In science, reproducibility means that a scientific experiment can be repeated by another scientist with the same result. This is of particular importance to verify the results as well as to show the usefulness and reusability for further research. However, the exclusive publication of the research results in a scientific journal is usually not suf...
Book
In the context of Industry 4.0, gathering sensor dataand using data analysis software can lead to actionable insights,for example, enabling predictive maintenance. Since developingthese data analysis software requires some special expert knowl-edge, often external data scientist are charged for that. However,often the data to be analyzed is of vita...
Chapter
The automation of application deployments is supported by various technologies. The TOSCA standard facilitates to describe application deployments in a portable manner by modeling application structures as topology models. The final structure often depends on the target environment and is, therefore, not always known at modeling time. However, a ma...
Chapter
Many cloud applications are composed of several interacting components and services. The communication between these components can be enabled, for example, by using standards such as WSDL and the workflow technology. In order to wire these components several endpoints must be exchanged, e.g., the IP addresses of deployed services. However, this ex...

Book
The intelligent exploitation of sensor data and order parameters from modern production systems is one of the biggest challenges in the context of Industry4.0. Currently, data from single machines are processed individually and not integrated with upstream or downstream processes. This case is prevalent in automotive assembly lines. Here, numerous...
Conference Paper
The integration of cyber-physical systems (CPS) is gaining more and more momentum due to the advent of Industry 4.0. Thereby, one of the main challenges is to facilitate the connection to arbitrary machinery in order to monitor and control these automatically. Such a control flexibilizes production processes by enabling quick adaptions of productio...

Article
Industry 4.0 endeavors often integrate and analyze a multitude of data, such as data about machinery, production steps, and environmental conditions, in order to optimize manufacturing processes. Thereby, they aim to reveal information hidden in formerly isolated data silos via holistic analytics approaches. However, the integration of such data si...
Conference Paper
The increasing amount of gathered sensor data in Industry 4.0 allows comprehensive data analysis software that creates value-adding opportunities. As companies often cannot implement such software by themselves and as they typically don't want to give their data to external scientists, they commission them to build the required software in order to...
Conference Paper
The fourth industrial revolution is driven by the integration and analysis of a vast amount of diverse data. Thereby, data about production steps, overall manufacturing processes, and also supporting processes is gathered to enable holistic analysis approaches. These approaches promise to provide new insights and knowledge by revealing cost saving...
Book
Cloud federation allows cloud providers to dynamically use resources of other federated providers in order to fulfill the requirements of customer requests. This concept enables the federated cloud providers to use external resources for increasing their profit as they do not have to reject customers in case their own resources are occupied. Howeve...
Article
Cloud applications typically consist of multiple components interacting with each other. Service-orientation, standards such as WSDL, and the workflow technology provide common means to enable the interaction between these components. Nevertheless, during the automated application deployment, endpoints of interacting components, e.g., URLs of deplo...

Conference Paper
The 4th industrial revolution entails new levels of data driven value chain organization and management. In industrial environments, the optimization of whole production lines based on machine learning algorithms allow to generate huge business value. Still, one of the open challenges is how to process the collected data as close to the data source...

Advances in the field of cloud computing and the Internet of Things are boosting the 4th industrial revolution. New research and developments foster the emergence of smart services, which augment conventional machinery to become smart cyber-physical systems. The resulting systems are characterized by providing preemptive functionality to automatica...
Book
Automating the provisioning and management of Cloud applications is one of the most important issues in Cloud Computing. The Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) is an OASIS standard for describing Cloud applications and their management in a portable and interoperable manner. TOSCA enables modeling the applicatio...
Article
There are several script-centric approaches, APIs, and tools available to implement automated provisioning, deployment, and management of applications in the Cloud. The automation of all these aspects is key for reducing costs. However, most of these approaches are script-centric and provide proprietary solutions employing different invocation mech...
