- Synoptics of things - an open standard for managing and monitoring services of the ISoS framework in web interfacesPublication . Serras, Bruno Miguel Alpoim; Osório, António Luís Freixo Guedes; Gonçalves, Carlos Jorge de SousaAbstract In the industry, there is a need to manage and monitor cyber-physical systems, composed of cyber parts, sensors and actuators, and informatics systems to ensure the correct functioning of industrial processes. The fast evolution of 4G and 5G mobile networks has enabled new paradigms toward the Industry 4.0 revolution, which introduces modern technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and advanced analysis techniques. Still, the increasing complexity of automated processes and systems’ heterogeneity might hinder the challenging task of supervising and controlling an industrial environment. The Synoptics of Things (SoT) framework aims to facilitate the creation and management of the life-cycle of customized industrial operator’s synoptic interfaces used for introspection and interactions with cyber-physical systems and informatics systems. A synoptic interface acts as a window to an organization’s technological landscape and is a fundamental element of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The framework validates the organization of technological artifacts under the Informatics System of Systems (ISoS) framework, presenting the concept of service to model computational responsibilities of any size, including the cyber parts of a cyber-physical element. This master thesis presents and discusses the state of the art regarding SCADA systems, reviews the ISoS platform, and proposes an approach to developing customized synoptic interfaces in web browsers using widgets that implement the Web Components standard.
