The Industry 4.0 has led to a significant transformation in manufacturing and industrial processes, characterized by increased connectivity and widespread digitalization. This revolution is driven by the convergence of IT (informationtechnology) paradigms with OT (Operational technology) domains. Virtualization technology plays a crucial role in this integration, thanks to its characteristics of agility, scalability, and efficiency. This work investigates the virtualization of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and it is focused on the need for evaluating their performance. PLCs are essential components of industrial automation and are being virtualized to increase flexibility, reduce hardware dependencies, and enable seamless integration with IT infrastructures. This work proposes a methodology for evaluating the execution time of a benchmark program and the PLC real-time behavior. Experiments on a real use case demonstrate that the PLCs implemented in containers may be 50 times faster than the real ones in executing data elaboration, while no significant differences were observed in real-time communication. In any case, virtual PLCs are characterized by greater jitter with respect to real PLCs.

This paper studies recent developments in large language models' (LLM) abilities to pass assessments in introductory and intermediate Python programming courses at the postsecondary level. The emergence of ChatGPT resulted in heated debates of its potential uses (e.g., exercise generation, code explanation) as well as misuses in programming classes (e.g., cheating). Recent studies show that while the technology performs surprisingly well on diverse sets of assessment instruments employed in typical programming classes the performance is usually not sufficient to pass the courses. The release of GPT-4 largely emphasized notable improvements in the capabilities related to handling assessments originally designed for human test-takers. This study is the necessary analysis in the context of this ongoing transition towards mature generative AI systems. Specifically, we report the performance of GPT-4, comparing it to the previous generations of GPT models, on three Python courses with assessments ranging from simple multiple-choice questions (no code involved) to complex programming projects with code bases distributed into multiple files (599 exercises overall). Additionally, we analyze the assessments that were not handled well by GPT-4 to understand the current limitations of the model, as well as its capabilities to leverage feedback provided by an auto-grader. We found that the GPT models evolved from completely failing the typical programming class' assessments (the original GPT-3) to confidently passing the courses with no human involvement (GPT-4). While we identified certain limitations in GPT-4's handling of MCQs and coding exercises, the rate of improvement across the recent generations of GPT models strongly suggests their potential to handle almost any type of assessment widely used in higher education programming courses. These findings could be leveraged by educators and institutions to adapt the design of programming assessments as well as to fuel the nec
