A webinar on the Secure Event Management (SEM) Specific Enabler (SE) developed in FITMAN project. This Specific Enabler (SE) provides a scalable and flexible service to collect and dispatch, in a controlled way, events in Smart Factory environments. The SE manages events using distinct, autonomous and independent partitions (namespaces) whose number and structure depends only on the functional needs of the production site. Presented by Michele Sesana from TXT Events are associated to specific nodes in a namespace. The access control mechanism provided by the SE manages access rights (publish or subscribe) to a specific node or to set of nodes in a namespace thus assuring that only specific, authorized entities can send or receive events. The Specific Enabler architecture is highly scalable and is compliant with the AMQP standard ( http://www.amqp.org) for message oriented middleware.

3. What you get
• SE Objective:
– Decouple events’ producers from events’ consumers
(mainly in shop floor related contexts)
– Add flexibility in the processing of production data
• SE Main functionalities:
– Events are organised in independent Namespaces
(whose structures are strictly related to the factory
and production needs)
– Access to events managed by an advanced and
flexible Access Control Mechanism (token based,
access rights delegation support, minimize
management effort, …)
– Web based Management features and supporting
tools (Access Tokens generation/revoc.)

4. Why to get it
• Events management is a key component of the Smart
Factory domain and, in general, of automation systems
adopting an Event Driven Architecture
• provides asynchronous and fire-and-forget
communication functions.
• support the Smart Factory demand for properly
managing business-confidential and business-critical
data
• enforce a capability-based access control mechanism
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-
based_security )
• offers scalability and resiliency features as envisaged by
the AMQP standard.
