Abstract: A computer-implemented method for orchestrating execution of workloads on nodes includes determining a set of requirements for resources needed for execution of the workload; determining for each compute node an availability of the resources required; establishing multiple candidate configurations having an assignment of each compute workload to at least one pair of a compute node and a working class, wherein different working classes differ at least in the degree of retention of the compute workload in memory and/or in at least one cache of the compute node after execution; computing for each candidate configuration at least one figure of merit with respect to at least one given optimization goal; and determining a candidate configuration with the best figure of merit as the optimal configuration.

Abstract: A method for generating and/or augmenting an execution protocol for an SOP in an industrial plant includes providing at least one SOP of the plant, which includes a plurality of steps; providing measurement data; for each step of the SOP, determining from the measurement data a subset of the measurement data that is indicative of actions performed for the purpose of executing this particular step of the SOP; and aggregating the subset of the measurement data determined for each step of the SOP into at least one instruction for executing this particular step of the SOP, wherein this instruction is part of the sought protocol.

Abstract: An industrial plant operator intervention system for use in an industrial plant includes a processing unit configured to monitor and analyze industrial plant operation data to detect an anomaly in the industrial plant operation data that warrants initiating an operator intervention, and in response to detecting the anomaly, automatically determine a user interface configuration of a user interface to be presented to a designated operator who is to perform the operator intervention. The user interface configuration is determined on the basis of technical context data, including industrial plant operation data associated with the anomaly, and on the basis of operator data pertaining to the designated operator, in such a manner that an anomaly-related and operator-specific user interface configuration is obtained.

Abstract: There is provided an explainer system for explaining an alarm raised by a machine learned model of an industrial automation system. The explainer system is configured to: receive model output from the machine learned model trained to predict anomalous behaviour in the industrial automation system and to raise the alarm; process the model output using at least one prediction explanation technique to identify at least one influential feature which contributed to the model output; use the identified at least one influential feature to extract contextual information from at least one machine-readable information source pertaining to the industrial automation system; and prepare the extracted contextual information for display to an operator of the industrial automation system, to enable the operator to select an appropriate action to take in response to the alarm for ensuring proper functioning of the industrial automation system.

Abstract: An assistance system comprises a plant topology repository comprising a representation of the components of the plant and relations between the components; a monitoring subsystem configured for monitoring signals from the components and for monitoring a related event, as a key for the monitored signals; an aggregation subsystem configured for storing a plurality of the monitored signals and the related events, wherein at least one of the events is the abnormal situation; an identification subsystem configured for comparing currently monitored signals to stored monitored signals and the related event; and an evaluation subsystem configured for outputting a predefined action, if the currently monitored signals match to the event that is the abnormal situation.

Abstract: A method for determining an appropriate sequence of actions to take during operation of an industrial plant includes obtaining values of a plurality of state variables that characterize an operational state of the plant (or a part thereof); encoding by at least one trained state encoder network the plurality of state variables into a representation of the operating state of the plant; mapping by a trained state-to-action network the representation of the operating state to a representation of a sequence of actions to take in response to the operating state; and decoding by a trained action decoder network the representation of the sequence of actions to the sought sequence of actions to take.
