Abstract: A computer-implemented method for orchestrating execution of workloads on nodes includes determining a set of requirements for resources needed for execution of the workload; determining for each compute node an availability of the resources required; establishing multiple candidate configurations having an assignment of each compute workload to at least one pair of a compute node and a working class, wherein different working classes differ at least in the degree of retention of the compute workload in memory and/or in at least one cache of the compute node after execution; computing for each candidate configuration at least one figure of merit with respect to at least one given optimization goal; and determining a candidate configuration with the best figure of merit as the optimal configuration.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for optimizing execution of an industrial process includes providing a set of resource indicators, each being indicative of an amount of a resource that is required and/or produced by virtue of a particular service being in a particular state; determining a set of candidate programs for execution of the process, each candidate program having a sequence of states of services of process modules such that the sequence accomplishes the industrial process, and the resource requirements of all services in the sequence are fulfilled; determining a set of overall resource requirements for executing the industrial process according to the candidate program; determining a figure of merit for the candidate program; and selecting a candidate program with the best figure of merit as the optimal program for executing the given industrial process.

Abstract: A method for generating an enriched alarm message associated to an initial alarm message of a concerned component of a plant includes providing a plurality of information model rules related to alarm messages for respective interrelations of components of the plant; applying the plurality of information model rules related to the alarm messages to respective components of a topology of the plant, for generating a system of information model rules related to the respective alarm messages of the plant; inferring logical consequences for the system of information model rules, which are related to the initial alarm message originated by the concerned component; and generating the enriched alarm message by combining the information model rules related to the initial alarm message of the concerned component, based on the inferred logical consequences.

Abstract: A system and method includes storing a description of at least one sensor in a database; storing a description of the at least one actuator in the database; storing a PLC-list comprising a description of the at least one PLC in the database; writing a controller program that describes an action of the at least one actuator caused by the at least one sensor; selecting, based on the database and the controller program, a PLC of the PLC-list, which is able to functionally connect the sensor and the actuator; generating an application for controlling the selected PLC based on the selected PLC and the controller program; and transferring the application to the selected PLC thus configuring and/or functionally connecting the at least one sensor and the at least one actuator of the sub-system.

Abstract: A method for creating a virtual deployment of a distributed control system (DCS) for a given industrial process, comprising: providing a topology of the assets executing the industrial process, as well as control logic for controlling these assets; providing at least one I/O simulator that is configured to supply data; determining a topology of devices that form part of the DCS; establishing based at least in part on this topology of devices, at least one declarative and/or imperative description of the DCS that characterizes multiple devices of the DCS, their placement, and their connections; creating virtual instances of the devices of the DCS and their connections in a chosen environment.
