Abstract
The Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) activities in the aviation industry face constant challenges due to the uncertainty and variability of their operations. Aircraft engine maintenance, which is fundamental to the safety of aircraft operations, is particularly challenging due to its job-shop nature. Each engine requires a specific intervention process, based on its condition and the needs identified. The inherent uncertainty in task duration, resource availability, and the scope of required repairs adds complexity to capacity planning. Traditional capacity planning methods often fall short in accounting for these uncertainties, leading to potential inefficiencies and bottlenecks. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) emerges as a powerful tool to address these challenges. By modelling the entire MRO process, DES can consider various scenarios, incorporating the stochastic nature of task times, machine downtimes, and labour availability. This study explores the application of DES to evaluate capacity planning and quantify the impact of uncertainty on operational efficiency. The proposed methodology enables the anticipation of delays and enhances resource management. The primary contribution of this work is the ability to predict delays and quantify their impact. The future application of this tool in real-world MRO operations has the potential to enhance operational efficiency and reliability. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

Abstract
The reliability and robustness of cyber-physical systems (CPS) are critical aspects of the current industrial landscape. The high level of autonomous and distributed components associated with a large number of devices makes CPS prone to faults. Despite their importance and benefits, traditional fault tolerance methodologies, namely local and/or centralized, often overlook the potential benefits of collaboration between cyber-physical components. This paper introduces a collaborative fault diagnosis methodology for CPS, integrating self-fault diagnosis capabilities in agents and leveraging collaborative behavior to enhance fault diagnosis. The contribution of this paper relay in propose a methodology for fault diagnosis for CPS, based on multi-agent system (MAS) technology as a backbone of infra-structure, highlighting the components, agent behavior, functionalities, and interaction protocols, to explore the benefits of communication and collaboration between agents. The proposed methodology enhance the accuracy of fault diagnosis when compared with local approach. A case study was conducted in a laboratory-scale warehouse, focusing on diagnosing drift, bias, and precision faults in temperature and humidity sensors. Experimental results reveal that the collaborative methodology significantly outperforms the local approach in fault diagnosis, as evidenced by performance improvements in diagnosis classification. The statistical significance of these results was validated using the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test for paired samples. © 2013 IEEE.

Abstract
The concept of data spaces has emerged as a structured, scalable solution to streamline and harmonize data sharing across established ecosystems. Simultaneously, the rise of AI services enhances the extraction of predictive insights, operational efficiency, and decision-making. Despite the potential of combining these two advancements, integration remains challenging: data spaces technology is still developing, and AI services require further refinement in areas like ML workflow orchestration and energy-efficient ML algorithms. In this paper, we introduce an integrated architectural framework, developed under the Green.Dat.AI project, that unifies the strengths of data spaces and AI to enable efficient, collaborative data sharing across sectors. A practical application is illustrated through a smart farming use case, showcasing how AI services within a data space can advance sustainable agricultural innovation. Integrating data spaces with AI services thus maximizes the value of decentralized data while enhancing efficiency through a powerful combination of data and AI capabilities.
