Competency Based Approach: Modeling and Implementation The expansion of computer networks has at the same time given impetus to the distance learning environments. Elearning systems are also advanced and more efficient. However, these platforms offer such complex teaching functionalities that designers find themselves poorly equipped to succeed in their engineering processes. This article presents a tool that makes it easier for designers to produce educational content according to the CompetencyBased Approach (CBA). We propose an implementation of the CBA after its modeling via ontology. Our module can be grafted to any author system oriented pedagogy based skills. We have advocated for Service for Oriented Architecture as a software solution to model our business process that consists of a set of interconnected services that are modeled and implemented. The proposed system is the result of a coordination of, services, incorporating the order of competences explained by a distance education, which integrates and interacts according to an orchestration plan.

Towards useroriented programming of skillbased Automation Systems using a domainspecific MetaModeling Approach Upcoming trends in manufacturing focus on flexible configuration of products up to lotsize one. This mass customization raises a need of flexible manufacturing and production systems that should react on fast changing market demands. As a result, it is getting more and more important to model all needed assets or skills in an useroriented and configurable manner. Assets can represent any type of data or skill information needed in a manufacturing domain. Data information could be for example shown to a human worker (e.g. work instructions, images, videos or animations) or could be required by robots (e.g. coordinates, velocities). Skill information represent any type of executable functionality provided by a device. This paper shows a generic approach to model needed context information of (collaborative) manufacturing tasks. This approach supports skillbased engineering enabling the usage of various components from different vendors. In addition, this work presents a domainspecific modeling approach of skills including the definition and validation of custom modeling rules.
