Context information helps an application decide on what to do in order to adapt to its user’s needs. To easily develop ubiquitous applications, there has been increased research in the design and development of frameworks called pervasive computing frameworks. Although these frameworks help application developers create ubiquitous applications easily, interoperability has been a problem because...

Verschiedene neue Anforderungen werden an die IT-Landschaft von Versorgern gestellt. Dabei steht vor allem die Integration der vorhandenen Systeme mittels Standards im Vordergrund. Dieser Beitrag stellt das Common Information Model CIM als domänenspezifischen Integrationsstandard vor und gibt einen Überblick über dessen technische Implikationen. Dabei liegt Fokus auf der nachrichten-basierten B...

This paper intents to describe the work of integration developed in the metalwork manufacturing cell of CCP (Centro de CIM do Porto). It focus the manufacturing cell philosophy, the structure of the cell controller, and the way integration was done using the MMS communication standard. The present work was developed at CCP as a part of the ESPRIT 5629 Project, conclued in October 1995.

We propose that a measurement of the number of protons and antiprotons in the hemisphere opposite a large transverse momentum proton can distinguish between two important models for large transverse momentum processes. The Parton Jet Model (PJM), where the underlying mechanism is assumed to be quark-quark scattering, is characterized by a surplus of protons over antiprotons in the jet opposite ...

Design of a decision-aiding model between subtractive manufacturing and 3Dprinting Tuan Minh Ryan Pham and Colton Harrison 3D-printing is becoming more and more widely used in industry. As this happens, manufacturers are becoming unsure of when to use this new technology and when to trudge on with subtractive (conventional) manufacturing processes. Subtractive manufacturing processes are well-e...

The properties inherent in Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT), create new opportunities for firms, and in particular small firms. The capability of these technologies to modify production specifications quickly and accurately means that firms can customise their products and attain economies of scope based on low volume and low cost production. While traditionally technology has been perce...

Das Konzept des Workflow-Management lässt sich auf unterschiedliche Ursprünge zurückführen. Zum einen kann Workflow-Management als Weiterentwicklung der Büroautomation in Richtung einer Prozessunterstützung des kaufmännisch-administrativen Bereiches verstanden werden. Zum anderen hat es seine Wurzeln im Konzept des Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) des Fertigungsbereiches, das sich bereit...

Present paper describes major RTD challenges and key technologies in order to respond to the demand for consumer oriented highly flexible and networked production systems. Shoe manufacturing is considered as a pilot sector, and a factory for the production of highly customized footwear is discussed as an example of agile and balanced production system, capable of integrating and cooperating wit...

This paper highlights the benefits within the Green Computing metrics measurement context from the MEASURE ITEA 3 project (Measuring Software Engineering) Project French cluster. It presents the Structured Metrics Meta-model (SMM) used as a standardized language and its implementation within the Softeam’s Modelio modelling and ICAM’s EMIT, a set of tools able to provide software power and energ...

Children’s Independent Mobility (CIM) is defined as a measure of the level of a child’s freedom to explore and move about his or her local neighbourhood without direct adult supervision (Hillman et al., 1990). An example of CIM is a child walking to school without an adult. Active transport or active commuting is generally defined as walking or cycling, and CIM is a sub-set of those who activel...
