物联网中的自治:自治模型和符号

Specifying Autonomy in the Internet of Things: The Autonomy Model and Notation

Christian Janiesch, Marcus Fischer, Axel Winkelmann, Valentin Nentwich

摘要:

在社会和工业数字化的推动下,以自主方式实现行为自动化将大大改变智能服务世界的产业价值链。随着过程通过传感器和执行器技术得到增强,它们变得数字化互连并融合到物联网(IoT)中,形成网络物理系统(CPS)。使用这些自动化系统,企业可以提高其运营的性能和质量。然而,目前在与其他机器或人联网时,为任何机器配备完全自主性既不可行也不合理。有必要为机器行为指定规则,这些规则也决定了充分的自治程度,以实现物联网的潜在优势。然而,缺乏方法和指导方针来支持设计和实现机器作为显式自主智能体,使得许多设计仅隐含地考虑自主性。为了解决这一研究差距,我们进行了全面的文献综述,提取12个要求的设计自主智能体在物联网。我们引入了一组组成特征的代理,并介绍了多代理系统中的相互作用的分类框架。我们通过开发一种概念建模语言来整合我们的研究结果,该语言由Meta模型和符号组成,有助于物联网内自主智能体的规范和设计以及CPS:自治模型和符号。我们说明和讨论的方法及其局限性。

英文摘要:

Driven by digitization in society and industry, automating behavior in an autonomous way substantially alters industrial value chains in the smart service world. As processes are enhanced with sensor and actuator technology, they become digitally interconnected and merge into an Internet of Things (IoT) to form cyber-physical systems (CPS). Using these automated systems, enterprises can improve the performance and quality of their operations. However, currently it is neither feasible nor reasonable to equip any machine with full autonomy when networking with other machines or people. It is necessary to specify rules for machine behavior that also determine an adequate degree of autonomy to realize the potential benefits of the IoT. Yet, there is a lack of methodologies and guidelines to support the design and implementation of machines as explicit autonomous agents such that many designs only consider autonomy implicitly. To address this research gap, we perform a comprehensive literature review to extract 12 requirements for the design of autonomous agents in the IoT. We introduce a set of constitutive characteristics for agents and introduce a classification framework for interactions in multi-agent systems. We integrate our findings by developing a conceptual modeling language consisting of a meta model and a notation that facilitates the specification and design of autonomous agents within the IoT as well as CPS: the Autonomy Model and Notation. We illustrate and discuss the approach and its limitations.
