Consequently, it requires a technical infrastructure that can support the agile deployment of these concepts and corresponding high-level applications, which, e.g., demand the processing of massive data in motion and at rest. As such, key research aspects are the support for low-latency control loops, concepts on scalable data stream processing, deployable information security, and semantically rich and efficient long-term storage. In particular, such an infrastructure cannot continue to be limited to machines and sensors, but additionally needs to encompass networked environments: production cells, edge computing, and location-independent cloud infrastructures. Finally, in light of the envisioned WWL, i.e., the interconnection of production sites, the technical infrastructure must be advanced to support secure and privacy-preserving industrial collaboration. To evolve today’s production sites and lay the infrastructural foundation for the IoP, we identify five broad streams of research: (1) adapting data and stream processing to heterogeneous data from distributed sources, (2) ensuring data interoperability between systems and production sites, (3) exchanging and sharing data with different stakeholders, (4) network security approaches addressing the risks of increasing interconnectivity, and (5) security architectures to enable secure and privacy-preserving industrial collaboration. With our research, we evolve the underlying infrastructure from isolated, sparsely networked production sites toward an architecture that supports high-level applications and sophisticated digital shadows while facilitating the transition toward a WWL.}, keywords = {Cyber-physical production systems; Data streams; Industrial data processing; Industrial network security; Industrial data security; Secure industrial collaboration}, tags = {internet-of-production}, url = {https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2023/2023-pennekamp-iop-a.i.pdf}, publisher = {Springer}, series = {Interdisciplinary Excellence Accelerator Series}, booktitle = {Internet of Production: Fundamentals, Applications and Proceedings}, ISBN = {978-3-031-44496-8}, DOI = {10.1007/978-3-031-44497-5_2}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Pennekamp, Jan and Belova, Anastasiia and Bergs, Thomas and Bodenbenner, Matthias and B{\"u}hrig-Polaczek, Andreas and Dahlmanns, Markus and Kunze, Ike and Kr{\"o}ger, Moritz and Geisler, Sandra and Henze, Martin and L{\"u}tticke, Daniel and Montavon, Benjamin and Niemietz, Philipp and Ortjohann, Lucia and Rudack, Maximilian and Schmitt, Robert H. and Vroomen, Uwe and Wehrle, Klaus and Zeng, Michael} } @Incollection { 2023_klugewilkes_crd-b2.iv, title = {Modular Control and Services to Operate Line-less Mobile Assembly Systems}, year = {2023}, month = {2}, day = {8}, pages = {303-328}, abstract = {The increasing product variability and lack of skilled workers demand for autonomous, flexible production.

Complementarily, suppliers need to keep any data irrelevant to such routine checks secret to remain competitive. To bridge the needs of contractors and suppliers in increasingly flexible supply chains, we thus propose to establish a privacy-preserving and distributed multi-hop accountability log among the involved stakeholders based on Attribute-based Encryption and backed by a blockchain.

The vision of an Internet of Production promises the establishment of a Worldwide Lab, where data from every process in the network can be utilized, even interorganizational and across domains. While numerous existing approaches consider interoperability from an interface and communication system perspective, fundamental questions of data and information interoperability remain insufficiently addressed. In this paper, we identify ten key issues, derived from three distinctive real-world use cases, that hinder large-scale data interoperability for industrial processes. Based on these issues we derive a set of five key requirements for future (IoT) data layers, building upon the FAIR data principles.

In this approach, base stations coordinate the power settings per resource block over long time spans such as seconds. In order to optimize the power settings, one needs to employ models which predict the rate of terminals over the next coordination period under the usage of a given power setting. However, these models are typically quite simple and neglect the impact from fading as well as from dynamic resource allocation performed at the base stations on a millisecond basis. Ignoring such properties of OFDMA networks leads therefore to suboptimal transmit power settings. In this paper, we study the impact from a precise rate prediction model that accurately accounts for fading and dynamic resource allocation. On the down-side, this more precise model leads to a much more involved optimization problem to be solved once per coordination period. We propose two different heuristic methods to deal with this problem. Especially the usage of genetic algorithm results to be promising to counteract the complexity increase.

This paper presents Horizon, which unlocks a substantial portion of a simulation model's workload for parallelization by going beyond the traditional lookahead. We show how to augment discrete events with durations to identify a much larger horizon of independent simulation events and efficiently schedule them on multi-core systems. Our evaluation shows that this approach can significantly cut down the runtime of simulations, in particular for complex and accurate models of wireless networks.}, tags = {horizon}, url = {fileadmin/papers/2010/2010-kunz-mascots-horizon.pdf}, misc2 = {Online}, publisher = {IEEE Computer Society}, address = {Los Alamitos, CA, USA}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 18th Annual Meeting of the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (MASCOTS'10), Miami, FL, USA}, event_place = {Miami, FL, USA}, event_name = {18th Annual Meeting of the IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (MASCOTS'10)}, event_date = {August 17-19, 2010}, language = {en}, ISBN = {978-0-7695-4197-6}, ISSN = {1526-7539}, DOI = {10.1109/MASCOTS.2010.26}, reviewed = {1}, author = {Kunz, Georg and Landsiedel, Olaf and Gross, James and G{\"o}tz, Stefan and Naghibi, Farshad and Wehrle, Klaus} } @Conference { 200803riechemmvecluster, title = {Clustering Players for Load Balancing in Virtual Worlds}, year = {2008}, month = {3}, day = {18}, pages = {9-13}, abstract = {Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) have become increasingly popular in the last years.

In Onion Routing a static tunnel through an overlay network is build via layered encryption. All traffic exchanged by its end points is relayed through this tunnel.In contrast, this paper introduces dynamic multipath Onion Routing to extend the static Onion Routing paradigm. This approach allows each packet exchanged between two end points to travel along a different path. To provide anonymity the first half of this path is selected by the sender and the second half by the receiver of the packet. The results are manifold: First, dynamic multipath Onion Routing increases the resilience against threats, especially pattern and timing based analysis attacks. Second, the dynamic paths reduce the impact of misbehaving and overloaded relays. Finally, inspired by Internet routing, the forwarding nodes do not need to maintain any state about ongoing flows and so reduce the complexity of the router. In this paper, we describe the design of our dynamic Multipath Onion Router (MORE) for peer-to-peer overlay networks, and evaluate its performance. Furthermore, we integrate address virtualization to abstract from Internet addresses and provide transparent support for IP applications. Thus, no application-level gateways, proxies or modifications of applications are required to sanitize protocols from network level information. Acting as an IP-datagram service, our scheme provides a substrate for anonymous communication to a wide range of applications using TCP and UDP.}, booktitle = {IEEE Global Communication Conference (GlobeCom), Washington D.C.}, author = {Landsiedel, Olaf and Pimenidis, Alexis and Wehrle, Klaus and Niedermayer, Heiko and Carle, Georg} } @Techreport { 200608riechetrmmog, title = {Peer-to-Peer-based Infrastructure Support for Massively Multiplayer Online Games}, year = {2006}, month = {8}, number = {WSI-2006-04}, abstract = {Online games are an interesting challenge and chance for the future development of the Peer-to-Peer paradigm.

Via IP-datagram service and address virtualization it is fully transparent to applications. Organized as structured Peer-To-Peer system, SARA is highly scalable and fault tolerant. In SARA each communication partner randomly selects a number of nodes from the overlay and concatenates them to an anonymous communication path. The sender selects the head of the path, the receiver builds the tail and publishes this information in the overlay network using an anonymous ID. Via this ID the sender retrieves the tail nodes of the path and concatenates both path section.
