Service oriented computing to Self-Learning production system

The aim of this manuscript is to present what is Self-Learning production system and how service oriented architecture (SOA) and supporting technologies are bridged together to implement this new concept in the ongoing EU Self-Learning production system project. A brief review of the most recent EU projects that have reported results relevant to the main discussed investigation problems is presented. Reference architecture and functionalities of Self-Learning production system is introduced aiming for improved control and maintenance in production plants. Service oriented computing to Self-Learning production system is proposed to meet the required level of flexibility, interoperability and communications needs for reusable Self-Learning services. A roadmap for future research is defined.
