====== Whitepapers and webinars ======

Longer-form technical writing from AEI Corporation — the pieces that are too
long to sit inside a protocol page and too specific to sit on the website.
This page is the index across the whole wiki: some papers have their own
landing page in this namespace, others sit on the technology or use-case page
whose subject they cover, because a paper belongs with the material it argues
about rather than in a filing cabinet organised by document type.

A whitepaper here is engineering, not marketing collateral. Same rails as the
rest of the wiki: every standard is named with its edition and year, no
benchmark appears that was not measured, and no client is identified.

===== Whitepapers =====

  * [[whitepapers:predictive-maintenance|Predictive maintenance and OPC UA]] — why the transport, not the sensor, caps the granularity a prediction model can work with; historical bulk read as the workaround and pub/sub over TSN as the answer. Written with B&R Automation, who published it. Full paper attached.

===== Use-case papers =====

Published through the DDS Foundation. Each one has a full write-up on its own
page, with the paper attached.

  * [[technology:industry40:dds:use-cases:sensor-maintenance|DDS in maintenance sensor networks]] — April 2020.
  * [[technology:industry40:dds:use-cases:digital-agriculture|DDS in digital agriculture]] — 2020.

===== Webinars =====

Recorded presentations, with the decks attached on the page covering the same
subject.

  * [[technology:industry40:dds:use-cases:digital-agriculture|DDS in digital agriculture]] — deck attached, video on the B&R Automation site.
  * [[technology:industry40:dds:use-cases:sensor-maintenance|DDS in maintenance sensor networks]] — deck attached.

===== How a paper is published here =====

  - The PDF lives in this wiki's own media store, like every other asset — never an external URL and never a plugin upload directory.
  - It gets a page carrying the argument in readable, indexable prose, not a bare download link. The PDF is the artifact of record; the page is what a reader and a search engine can actually work with.
  - Where the paper was also published elsewhere, the page links out to that copy.
  - Where the paper's subject already has a page, the paper lands **there** rather than getting a landing page of its own, and this index points at it.
