at a Glance

• SiLA’s mission is to establish international standards which create open connectivity between systems in lab automation

• SiLA is a non-profitorganization with a global footprint, founded in 2008







SiLA Vision

• Establish International Standards To Enable Open Connectivity In Lab Automation

• Base On Existing Standards, Only Define What’s Required To Fulfill Lab Automation Requirements

• Be Accessible, Straightforward, Stable, And Usable While Also Being Extensible

• Improve Data Integrity In Labs

• Promote Open Standards To Enable Lab Automation In A Cost Effective Way.





SiLA 2 Goals

• Accessibility: A developer looking at SiLA should have a success experience within minutes and in turn recommend to his supervisor to use SiLA for the next project (State-of-the-art technology base).

• Outstanding Concepts: The elegance of the concept will not only allow existing and new ways of interoperability but also convince users, instrument vendors and lab automation specialists.

• Community Process: Innovation will not be blocked but enabled by basing on SiLA concepts; different levels of standardization will allow rapid integration of new device types and evolution of existing ones.





What Makes SiLA 2 Different?

SiLA 2 is different compared to previous standard-ization approaches:

• Modular design

• Service oriented

• Based upon open standards and technologies, no license fees, no royalties, readily accessible

• Intelligent and elegant concepts

Smart Lab: Requirements

Today’s users expect:

• Seamless integration and operability between IT systems and instruments

• Zero configuration, no need for experts

• Intuitive Setup: “It just works!”





True Integration

• True Integration Requires Two Things:

• Communication → Communication Standards

• Data Exchange → Data Standards





True Integration

• A Communication Protocol Alone Leaves Us With Proprietary Data Structures. Data Ends Up In Silos.

• A Data (File) Format Alone Is Not Suitable For

Systems Where Components Need To Communicate. Copying Files Is Not Communication.

• → Both Are Needed For End-to-end Integration





True Integration

• True Integration Requires Two Things:

• Communication → Communication Standards

SiLA• Data Exchange → Data Standards

SiLA + AnIML





Benefit: Service Orientation

• Think of Entities In The Lab As Services:

• Instruments

• Workflow Execution

• Reporting / Presentation

• Storage

• Search

• LIMS / CDS/ LES / E-Notebook

• Services Interact In A Loosely-Coupled Manner.

SiLA 2 Feature Discovery

• Instruments and Services (“SiLA Servers”) describe their Features (→ i.e. capabilities)

• LIMS learns how to communicate & data structures

Separation of concerns led to splitting the SiLA 2

Specification in three parts:

• Part A:• “Overview, Concepts and Core Specification”

• Introduces the core concepts at a general level

• Part B:• “Mapping specification”

• Introduces the mapping of the concepts defined in Part A to the

base technology gRPC

• Implementation guide for developers

• Part C:• “Standard Features Index”

Structure of the Technical Specification

SiLA 2 Specification

• Future Proof due to selection of widely accepted and long-living Internet standards –see also next slides.

• Separation of concepts (Part A) from technology mapping (Part B)

• Stable core standard (Parts A and B)

• Core Feature Definitions (Part C)

• Flexible evolution and extension on Feature level





Feature Framework

• Features framework: Design guideline for specifying

and implementing Services (containing Commands,

Parameters, Properties) which is the basis for the SiLA

ontology / taxonomy.

• Features will be lightweight to maintain: We worked on

a improved community process for specifying,

maintaining and balloting.

• Features can be in a vendor specific or SiLA standard

“namespace”. Each standard Feature has a Maturity

Level. Features can therefore co-exist nicely.





Feature Maintenance





SiLA 2 – Technical Summary

• SiLA 2 is a “Micro Service Architecture”

• Based on HTTP/2 protocol, protobuf as payload (gRPC)

• Feature Definition Language (XML based)

• SiLA Data Types (on top of protobuf)

• Feature Discovery (based on “SiLA Service” Feature)

• SiLA Server Discovery (based on Zero Config)





SiLA 2 - Summary of Concepts

• Stable Core

• Ensures Interoperability

• “SiLA Speaks Science” (e.g. physical units, AnIML, …)

• Features

• Allow flexible evolution and extension of SiLA

• Feature Definition Language as “glue” between scientist and

programmer, replaces functional spec in a standardized format

• Feature Discovery to enable universal interoperability

• Discovery

• Enables zero config operation / user experience
