Abstract
Modularity and embedded intelligence enable seamless shop floor reconfiguration enhancing reactiveness and responsiveness to changing requirements. However the amount of information underlying modern enterprises is considerable. Recent approaches attempt to map and relate the main concepts in domain ontologies. Often that information is excessive and does not provide the adequate operational shop floor support. In this paper a compact OWL ontology computable by intelligent agents living in embedded devices and focusing on the essential (re)configuration and connectivity aspects (social, mechanical, electrical and other interfaces) is proposed under the framework of the biologically inspired Evolvable Assembly Systems.
