State of the Art and Types of Product Configuration Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Product configuration systems are considered to be important enablers of the mass-customization strategy. They are the most successful applications of e-technologies and artificial intelligence in e-business, particularly in customer interaction. Product configuration systems support the acquisition of the customers’ requirements while automating the order-taking process, and they allow customers to configure their products by specifying their technical requirements. In this article, the state of the art is explained and the different product configuration systems are classified in a morphological box. The analysis of the criteria according to which configurators are designed thus far reveals a neglect of the front-end perspective. Therefore, necessary enhancements and development directions toward a comprehensive tool for customer interaction in mass customization are analyzed.

Resilient Configuration of Distribution System versus False Data Injection Attacks Against State Estimation
State estimation is used in power systems to estimate grid variables based on meter measurements. Unfortunately, power grids are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Reducing cyber-attacks against state estimation is necessary to ensure power system safe and reliable operation. False data injection (FDI) is a type of cyber-attack that tampers with measurements. This paper proposes network reconfigurati...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Hydraulic Fracturing for Enhanced Well Productivity: State of the Art Report
Hydraulic fracturing of horizontal wells is considered as the main reason for the phenomenal increase in production of oil and gas from marginal and unconventional reservoirs in North America. The process evolution started more than a decade ago and has resulted in ultra-low permeability reservoirs producing at close to the same rates as some of the very prolific reservoirs in the Middle East,...
متن کاملHow Operational Parameters and Membrane Characteristics Affect the Performance of Electrodialysis Reversal Desalination Systems: The State of the Art*
Operating parameters and membrane characteristics strongly affect the performance of electrodialysis reversal systems. The most impactful factors are applied voltage, flow rate, temperature, initial feed composition, and ion exchange membrane characteristics; the pH of the feed also has an effect, although to a lesser extent. To determine more precisely how all of these factors impact performan...
متن کاملEnzyme Immobilization: The State of Art in Biotechnology
The advantages of immobilized enzyme over its soluble counterpart arise from their improved stability andeasy separation from the reaction media, leading to decrease in production cost. Immobilization methodsrange from adsorption onto matrices, entrapment, cross-linking and covalent bonding to prefabricatedcarriers or activated supports. Changes in kinetic properties of immobi...
متن کاملComparison between four dissimilar solar panel configurations
Several studies on photovoltaic systems focused on how it operates and energy required in operating it. Little attention is paid on its configurations, modeling of mean time to system failure, availability, cost benefit and comparisons of parallel and series–parallel designs. In this research work, four system configurations were studied. Configuration I consists of two sub-components arranged ...
