Dissemination Plan (conferences)

• FTK (Fertigungstechnisches Kolloquium) at the
  University of Stuttgart from 13 to 15 October
  2003. ISW will present the state of OCEAN on
  different booths and it is intended to present a
  first prototype on a presentation-machine.

Contacts with other projects

• TORERO (July 2002-December 2004) create a total
  life cycle web-integrated control design
  architecture for distributed control systems in
  factory automation. In other words an
  architecture which allows e.g. a community
  of intelligent sensors and actuators (each
  equipped with a logic controller) to (first) self
  configure and (later on during their life cycle)
  maintain their functions automatically from
  the Web and to jointly solve an automation
  problem without a central control unit.
• NEOxITE (September 2001-February 2004) develop
  an Internet enabled embedded system for real-time
  control of industrial plants to be used on pilot
  as well as remote sites,  for optimisation and
  evaluation of critical processes as well as for 
  embedded control systems.

Contacts with other projects

• DOTS (ended February 2002) establish an open
  software model, built upon real-time distributed
  object technologies and emergent tele-control
  standards, to allow the optimum exploitation of
  the interoperation capabilities of devices and
  systems in the distributed context of an electric
  power grid.
• DOTS is using an ORB that is property of a
  Spanish company. It's a real-time broker of small
  size. The RTOS used was VxWorks 5.4. running on
  top of an embedded device designed and built by
  ELIOP. The application communicating through the
  ORB was designed and implemented by ELIOP.
• PABADIS (December 2000-May 2003) IMS distributed
  intelligence through the use of agents.
