An organic set of software components to be used as building blocks for the implementation of resilient, monitorable, modular, extendable, open distributed systems with main applications in smart and reconfigurable manufacturing, and smart cities
This repository contains an organic set of containerized applications designed and developed from June 2021 onward in the Data Science Institute at University of Galway under the supervision of Prof. John Gerard Breslin. They are suitable for remote creation, configuration, and operation of complex AI-enabled distributed systems across heterogeneous devices and multiple geographical locations.
To get started, you will be guided through an extensively documented Postman collection, also available as a JSON file ready to be imported to your local Postman installation. You will build, configure, and exercise a simple system for real-time anomaly detection. In particular, you will be instructed to use the GettingStartedTest1 and GettingStartedTest2 text files for some guidance about how to see the system in operation. Docker is required. Exposing Docker daemon on tcp://localhost:2375 without TLS is also required; Windows users can do that from the General Settings of Docker Desktop, while Linux users may find this article of some help. Postman needs to be configured to accept self-signed certificates. Times of response observed running the collection on a HP 250 G8 laptop (Microsoft Windows 10 Home, Intel Core I5 1035G1 CPU @ 1GHz, quad-core, RAM 16 GB) are provided.

Breslin, "Synchronized Sub-Second Arbitrary Changes to Decoupled Components for Ultimate Resilience in Cross-Platform Geo-Distributed Smart Factories," 2023 IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP), 2023., then enjoy a proof-of-concept of the Postman Collection Run as a Service envisioned in the paper by running the NewmanNode4CustomFDS Postman collection, which relies on the NewmanCustomFDSv4 Postman collection, run in the NewmanCustomFDSv4NewmanDemo Postman environment. You can also run the NewmanCustomFDSv4 collection from your Postman desktop application by using the NewmanCustomFDSv4Demo Postman environment. In end, you can also create a Newman node in a containerized Node-RED instance and configure it to run the NewmanCustomFDSv4 Postman collection using the NewmanCustomFDSv4NewmanDemo Postman environment.

CustomFDS.tar is a Docker volume backup meant to be restored to containers based on the msoderi/py4customfds Docker Image, and it contains a customization of the artifacts published by Nitesh Bharot in the GitHub repository CustomFDS in the context of a Seed Project led by me for the Confirm SFI Research Centre for Smart Manufacturing.
