Fixture design is crucial part of manufacturing process. Fixture design is a critical design activity process, in which automation plays an integral role in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD). This paper presents a literature review in computer aided fixture design (CAFD) in terms of automation and optimization techniques over the past decades. First, the...

In this research work, a wholesaler-retailer-customer supply chain model for a deteriorating item is considered, where the retailer's warehouse in the market place has a limited capacity. The retailer can rent an additional warehouse (rented warehouse) if needed, with a higher rent compared to the existing warehouse (own warehouse). The customers' demand of the item is linearly influenced by th...

The increasing demands for interactive response time from the users makes query performance one of the central problems of Data warehouse systems today. Performance is an important quality aspect of Data warehouse systems. Predicting the performance of Data warehouse systems during early design stages of their development is significant. Software Performance Engineering(SPE) promotes the idea t...

The fourth industrial revolution focuses on the digitization and automation of supply chains resulting in a significant transformation methods for goods production delivery systems. To enable this, automated warehousing is demanding unprecedented vehicle-to-vehicle vehicle-to-infrastructure communication rates reliability. 60 GHz frequency band can deliver multi-gigabit/second data to satisfy i...

The New Zealand Department of Social Welfare (DSW) has a large, well-established and successful corporate data warehouse. This warehouse first went into production in 1996. It has been continually enhanced since that time, and now services more than one government department. The hardware has been upgraded, the data quantity and sources have increased, and more vital information is being provid...

Data warehousing encompasses architectures, algorithms, and tools for bringing together selected data from multiple databases or other information sources into a single repository, called a data warehouse suitable for direct querying or analysis. In recent years data warehousing has become a prominent buzzword in the database industry, but attention from the database research community has been...

The input data for a data warehouse, coming from operational systems, are not immediately ready for loading into data warehouse. Cleaning and integration could be necessary. Moreover, the input data must be transformed and translated into a format more suitable for analytical purposes. This paper presents a generalised platform for population of data warehouses named Data Warehouse Population P...

overtaking a slow lead vehicle is a complex maneuver because of the variety of overtaking conditions and driver behavior. in this study, two novel prediction models for overtaking behavior are proposed. these models are derived based on multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (manfis). they are validated at microscopic level and are able to simulate and predict the future...

The effective analysis and understanding of huge amount of mobility data have been a hot research topic in the last few years. In this paper, we introduce Mob-Warehouse, a Trajectory Data Warehouse which goes a step further to the state of the art on mobility analysis since it models trajectories enriched with semantics. The unit of movement is the (spatio-temporal) point endowed with several s...
