Comments on “Bridging Service-Oriented Architecture and IEC 61499 for Flexibility and Interoperability”
Kleanthis Thramboulidis · IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics · 2016
In the paper by W. Dai et al. [2015], a formal mapping between IEC 61499 and service-oriented architecture (SOA) is presented, and an SOA-based execution environment architecture is described. In this comment, we discuss the mapping and the execution environment architecture, as well as the suggested potentials for exploiting those. We present specific arguments and make cases that call the authors' claims into question.
