Intelligent Computation in Manufacturing Engineering - CIRP ICME ‘20 Editorial

Forty Sixth CIRP Conference on Manufacturing Systems 2013 Editorial

Nowadays manufacturing companies are coerced to become more flexible to adapt their internal processes quickly and economically to the volatile external situations. In this paper, we develop a cost model with respect to the capacity envelope concept. Generic flexibility measures are used and described by numerous influence factors and constraints. Furthermore, the cost model will be demonstrate...

Guest Editorial Special Issue: Intelligent Engineering Techniques for Knowledge Bases

Knowledge bases are encountered in different AI areas such as configuration, planning, diagnosis, semantic web, game playing, and others. Very often the amount and arrangement of the elements in the knowledge base outstrips the capability of a knowledge engineer to survey them and to efficiently perform maintenance operations – a situation that triggers an enormous demand of extending and impro...
