    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.

    Multimodal user support in IPS² business model
    (Cranfield University Press, 2009-04-01) Gegusch, R.; Geisert, C.; Hoege, B.; Stelzer, C.; Roetting, M.; Seliger, G.; Uhlmann, E.; Rajkumar Roy; Essam Shehab
    The use models of Industrial Product-Service Systems are based on the idea of offering functionality, availability or results. This paper proposes a concept for multimodal user support in interaction with condition monitoring and knowledge generation, whilst taking knowledge protection into consideration. A shared-vision system connects a less-qualified person with an expert for solving problems collaboratively. The user is instructed via multimodal user interfaces, which require data related to the service design, construction model as well as the current machine condition. Such data is acquired by a process accompanying information system, which deliver information relevant to the required service from sensors.
