Automation of technological processes in mechanical engineering

An Approach to Technological Processes Automation using Technological Coalitions Based on Discrete Event Models

Simulation of Technological Processes of Civil Engineering Companies

Method of simulation of technological processes of civil engineering companies allows evaluate quality of the organizational variants by multicriterial estimation methods (Zavadskas et al., 1995). Simulation methods allow to design a rational work programme according to the financial, technological and organizational parameters. It is quite understandable that simulation of work programmes of c...

Technological Developments in Education and Automation

This study employs the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique, an efficiency model, to measure public schools in Thailand. Data came from 455 public upper secondary schools in Northern Thailand. The results reveal that the schools mostly operate inefficiently. To ascertain the efficiency measures, sensitivity analysis reveals the robustness of the resulting efficiency measures on efficiency....

Test-Driven Automation: Adopting Test-First Development to Improve Automation Systems Engineering Processes

Software provides an increasing part of the added value of modern automation systems and thus becomes more complex. System requirements may change even late in the development process, lead to ad-hoc modifications of the product and require systematic (and automated) testing approaches. However, unit tests for automation software have to consider the interaction with hardware components, are of...

Nanoscale particles in technological processes of beneficiation

BACKGROUND Cavitation is a rather common and important effect in the processes of destruction of nano- and microscale particles in natural and technological processes. A possible cavitation disintegration of polymineral nano- and microparticles, which are placed into a liquid, as a result of the interaction of the particles with collapsed cavitation bubbles is considered. The emphasis is put on...
