Outline • Introduction • Motivation • Background • The approach • Outcomes • Conclusion and the future work
Introduction Cloud Collaborative Manufacturing Networks (C2NET) project is an EU Horizon 2020 R&D project within the framework of the Factories of the Future (FoF) public- private partnership. The goal of the project is the development of Cloud-enabled tools for supporting SMEs supply network optimization.
Motivation • As C2NET aims at providing a web-based collaborative platform, it is important to support the users with a connectivity and visualization using web browsers and mobile applications. • The users of C2NET needs to be informed or notified about the updates that occur in the platform. • The mobile should address the fact of C2NET development phase.
Background User Collaboration Network The term of collaborative networks addresses the interaction between persons as users and companies or organizations as networks. The interaction could cover different fields. As an example, Facebook social media, Research Gate and LinkedIn.
Background Platform as a Service and OpenPaaS Cloud computing has three stacks (from bottom to top): • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides servers, networking, storage, and data center space and other hardware infrastructure. • Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offers the cloud-based environment with everything required to support building and delivering web application. • Software as a Service (SaaS) enabling software applications are to be used by others and that connect to users’ computers via the internet and, usually, a web browser. OpenPaaS is an open source collaboration platform developed by LINAGORA6, an open source software company, which is implemented with PaaS technology for enterprises and organizations. http://open-paas.org/
Approach • Since it is a web based application, two sides are introduced in the architecture; server and client • The UCP is based on the OpenPaaS platform • The Mobile application is developed for Android OS
Approach UCP Side (Server) • Webserver, Authenticator, Database, PubSub and Web Socket server are provided by OpePaaS • Controller: manages the connected Mobile applications • User Model manages the stored users with relation to notifications and devices • Web Socket logic handles the communication protocols.
Approach UCP Side (Server) • Webserver, Authenticator, Database, PubSub and Web Socket server are provided by OpePaaS • Controller: manages the connected Mobile applications • User Model manages the stored users with relation to notifications and devices • Web Socket logic handles the communication protocols.
Approach Mobile Application Side (Client) • Init : for testing the connection and request the cookies and tokens (if the user already authorized). • Login: allows the user to authinticate him/herself. Needed just once. • Home: web browser. • Notification service: background service for web socket connection. • Notifications: shows the list of the notifications

Conclusion • The mobile application development increased the flexibility and the expandability of the GUI of the C2NET platform • The development is focused on one side which reduced the effort.
Future Work • Expand the deployment of the application to cover more operating systems. • Reduce the ad hoc implementation as much as possible.
