Zdravković, M., Noran, O., Trajanović, M. (2014) Towards Sensing Information Systems. 23rd International Conference on Information Systems Development, Varaždin, Croatia, 2-4 September, 2014
1. Towards Sensing Information
Systems
Milan Zdravković*, Ovidiu Noran**,
Miroslav Trajanović*
*Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Niš, Serbia
**Griffith University, Australia
2. Background
• Motivation
– Rising trend of transferring the communication, processing
and storage capabilities from computers to devices
• Problem
– Increasing complexity, lack of unifying models, lack of
interoperability
• CPS, WSN are becoming application silos
• Objective of the work
– Define the properties of the “future” Enterprise
Information Systems, so-called Sensing Information
Systems (SIS), hosted by the devices, and guidelines for
further research
• So Cyber Physical Systems can evolve to Cyber Physical
Ecosystems

3. Sensing Enterprise
23rd International Conference on Information Systems
Development, Varaždin, Croatia, 2-4 September, 2014
4. The key issue of the SE: Enterprises
collaborate based on prior agreements
“I am not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated.”

6. The Semantic Interoperability
challenge
23rd International Conference on Information Systems

7. Semantic interoperability as a key
property of SIS
• Enablers
– Awareness
• self,
environmental,
universal
– Perceptivity
• observational,
communicative
– Intelligence
• meaningful,
purposeful
– Extroversion

Notes de l'éditeur
Meaningful -> result with an action
Purposeful -> socially agreed, not necessarily logically correct
