In this study, the use of DoE for training metamodels in simulation-based optimisation of manufacturing systems is evaluated. The evaluation is done through a case study of a real manufacturing system. A simulation model of the system exist and the aim is to train an Artificial Neural Network as a metamodel of the system with as high accuracy as possible. Two training data sets generated using ...

We start with a big picture illustration of what role HNTES would play if deployed by those providers who offer both IP-routed and circuit services. In the example shown in Figure 1, the "DOE Lab I" network and ESnet are shown as offering both IP-routed and circuit services, while the "DOE Lab II," "Other provider" and "University" networks only offer IProuted services. This reflects current-da...

The effective method of a speckle suppression using one moving 2D diffractive optical elements based on the periodic Barker code sequence is developed. It was proved that method has the same optical parameters as method based on two 1D Barker code DOE stretched and moving in orthogonal directions. It is shown that DOE movement in special direction allows to use full numerical aperture of object...

Problem solving is a key activity for any innovative company. As the dialectical approach has shown its efficiency in problem solving, the starting point of our work is the use of contradiction in problem formulation stage. In this article, we analyse the possibility to use information brought by a Design of Experiments (DoE) to formulate a contradiction. Constraint Satisfaction Problem is empl...

This paper discusses the suitability of the Design of Experiments (DOE) methodology for storage performance tuning. The DOE estimates the main and interaction effects of three major storage factors viz, Cache Partition Size (CPS),LUN Strip Size (LSS) and Cache Segment Size (CSS) settings of an enterprise level storage system on the overall storage performance. Other factors influencing performa...

This paper attends to demonstrate the usefulness of Design of Experiments (DOE) method in magnetic refrigeration (MR) understanding and optimization. A numerical DOE is applied to a simple 1D finite difference model describing an Active Magnetic Regenerative Refrigeration (AMRR) system. The heat transfer fluid is water, the regenerator consists of stacked gadolinium plates and the model is base...
