The aim of this project is to develop methodologies and tools to design and develop distributed control systems (DCS) with a high degree of flexibility, reliability, and reuse of developed applications. The great progress that has occurred in recent years, both for hardware systems specific to control (PLCs, industrial computers, industrial fieldbuses, controllers, etc.) and for multidisciplinary COTS tools (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf) (code analysis, simulation and generation in different areas of knowledge) offers great...

The combination of Internet, intelligent machines, production systems and processes has derived in the fourth industrial revolution. This time, physical world is being seamlessly integrated into the productive processes through the network. The ‘Industry 4.0’ concept arises as a way to face the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution. But this concept is much more than the ‘internet of things’ or smart factory (both included in industry 4.0), as it emphasizes the idea of consistent...

The general aim of this project is to analyse the viability of the application of domain modelling techniques and components technologies to design and develop complex, distributed and reconfigurable applications. We will partilarly focus on the dynamic reconfiguration of applications in two different areas: distributed automatisation applications and distributed embedded applications. Thus, one of the aims of this project is to analyse the use of multi-view modelling techniques both for designing (specification) and...
