    Dynamic IPS²-networks and -operations based on software agents
    (Cranfield University Press, 2009-04-01) Meier, H.; Uhlmann, E.; Krug, C. M.; Völker, O.; Geisert, C.; Stelzer, C.; Rajkumar Roy; Essam Shehab
    This article describes how an IPS² network should be build up by considering the dynamic behavior of the IPS² along its life-cycle. How the network partner could participate and how they allocate their capacities will be also discussed as questions regarding the commissioning by considering the business model. The realization of this concept is based on a multi-agent system. Therefore all service delivery involved IPS² objects like product, network partner and service technicians are represented by software agents. All this will be pointed out by an availability oriented maintenance scenario in the field of micro production.

    Standardization of Service Delivery in Industrial Product-Service Systems
    (Cranfield University Press, 2009-04-01) Meier, H.; Krug, C. M.; Rajkumar Roy; Essam Shehab
    Industrial Product-Service Systems (IPS²) provide the best value in use for the customer. The high demand for this product model in the future, will lead to a high number of service deliveries. These service deliveries need to be executed in a service network in industry, but are planned and organized by a central intelligence hosted by the OEM of the IPS². This article will describe the possibility to minimize the derivation of execution time by the standardization of the boundary conditions in service delivery. An example scenario for resource planning with minimized derivation of execution time will be shown.
