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

  • 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.

Webinars

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

How a paper is published here

  1. The PDF lives in this wiki's own media store, like every other asset — never an external URL and never a plugin upload directory.
  2. 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.
  3. Where the paper was also published elsewhere, the page links out to that copy.
  4. 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.
