DESCRIPTION:Greg:\nDigital manufacturing is focussed on leveraging the ava
 ilability of digital information to improve the effectiveness of manufactu
 ring activities. One of the digitalisation pathways for manufacturing is m
 onitoring\, which can be challenging due to the high costs of industrial m
 onitoring solutions and the difficulty in justifying their return on inves
 tment. This study examines whether the introduction of low cost technologi
 es can address the monitoring needs of digital manufacturing. In particula
 r\, we consider the role non-industrial\, “off-the-shelf” technologies
  can play. The main aim of this paper is to present blueprints for low cos
 t monitoring of industrial operations and identify candidate low cost tech
 nologies which can contribute effectively to the implementation of these s
 ystems. Related work on low cost monitoring and commercially available tec
 hnologies are analysed and evaluated. Low-cost monitoring blueprints and c
 andidate technologies are proposed based on the results of the analysis. A
 n example implementation of a presented blueprint indicates the potential 
 of integrating non-industrial\, off-the-shelf technologies into low cost m
 onitoring solutions.\n\n\n\nMarco:\nMulti-agent systems have been an effec
 tive choice for designing control systems that are flexible and agile. How
 ever\, few attention has been given to the evaluation of the architectures
  of such systems. This becomes critical with the emerging requirements in 
 complex domains such as digital network infrastructures. In this talk\, I 
 will introduce our approach for the assessment of agent-based control arch
 itectures. I will show how this approach is used to compare three candidat
 e architectures of a supervisory control system for the next generation di
 gital infrastructures.
