Title: OSP Interface Specification Ontology - A Use Case for Validation
Speaker: Dirk Walther, PhD

Abstract: The Open Simulation Platform (OSP) is an open-source industry initiative for co-simulation of maritime equipment, systems and entire ships. The OSP-IS ontology is part of the OSP Interface Specification, which enables faster construction of simulators by simplifying the connection process, and validation of semantically correct simulations. The purpose of the ontology is to provide a data model for representing information about connections between simulation models to enable automated validity checking of given connections as well as checking for the existence of valid connections and providing meaningful explanations if no valid connections exist.¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Title: improving Engineering Efficiency with Semantic Technology at Aibel
Speaker: Christian M. Hansen, PhD

Abstract: Aibel is a leading service company within the oil, gas and offshore wind industries. Our industry is in the beginning of an enormous transformation, largely due to the transition to renewable energy sources. Oil and gas prices are trending downwards and new fields are smaller, driving the focus on cost savings and increased efficiency in the industry. As a company, we need to be able to deliver more value to our customers for every engineering hour we spend, in order to survive in a highly competitive market.
