Control of open and disaggregated transport networks using the Open Network Operating System (ONOS) [Invited]

Towards an Open, Disaggregated Network Operating System

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

ROS: an open-source Robot Operating System

This paper gives an overview of ROS, an opensource robot operating system. ROS is not an operating system in the traditional sense of process management and scheduling; rather, it provides a structured communications layer above the host operating systems of a heterogenous compute cluster. In this paper, we discuss how ROS relates to existing robot software frameworks, and briefly overview some...

Invited Commentary: OPEN Questions

The papers by Subar et al. (1) and Kipnis et al. (2) in this issue of the Journal provide a unique set of data and a useful contribution to nutritional epidemiology. The Observing Protein and Energy Nutrition (OPEN) Study they report on was based on a reasonable sample of participants, had a remarkably high completion rate, and is the largest known study to use doubly labeled water as the stand...

Open, Clocked and Multimodal Transport Networks

Lean Production is one of the current issues in logistics (Womack, 2004). Clocked production and transport effect an adjustment of the individual process steps. Today only large companies are able to raise enough transport volume for an individual transport solution and so assure the resulting advantages of decreasing storage costs and capital lockup. An individually clocked transport in small ...
