Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for searching information in a distributed data processing system. A system for processing a semantic search query where the system may include a memory and a processor coupled to the memory being configured to, receive a structured search query, process the structured search query to deconstruct into query elements, identify a set of connected elements that define a data source associated with the received structured search query based on a processed query element, process the query elements to determine one or more command data element types associated with the received structured search query, and process data associated with the defined data source according to a command data element type to develop a semantic search query resultant data set.

Abstract: Embodiments of a software defined automation system that provides a reference architecture for designing, managing and maintaining a highly available, scalable and flexible automation system. In some embodiments, an SDA system can include a localized subsystem including a system controller node and multiple compute nodes. The multiple compute nodes can be communicatively coupled to the system controller node via a first communication network. The system controller node can manage the multiple compute nodes and virtualization of a control system on a compute node via the first communication network. The virtualized control system includes virtualized control system elements connected to a virtual network that is connected to a second communication network to enable the virtualized control system elements to control a physical control system element via the second communication network connected to the virtual network.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for updating a description of an automation system of a power network including at least: providing a preliminary description of the automation system, the preliminary description including components and relationships; providing at least one non-functional requirement; adapting the preliminary description to meet the non-functional requirement by modifying the components and relationships; instantiating a final description of the automation system based on the adapted preliminary description.
