Customization aims to improve the performance of pure object-oriented languages by compiling multiple copies of a source method, each of them specialized for a certain revceiver type. Like other code duplication techniques, it gains performance by trading code space for better speed. Unfortunately, customization can significantly increase code space, especially for larger programs. We show that...

Mass-customization refers to the ability “to customize products quickly for individual customers or for niche markets at a cost, efficiency and speed close to those of mass production, relying on limited forecast...

Abstract New technology such as 3D printing, robotic manufacturing, and the Internet of things can shorten production time mass customization (MC) products, enhance self-design fun consumers, improve channel integration connectivity. In this study, we examine impact MC waiting from purchase products on supply chain integration. We consider a consisting one manufacturer, retailer, customizer. Th...

Although software mass customization offers the potential for order-of-magnitude improvements in software engineering performance, the up-front cost, level of effort, assumed risk, and latency required to make the transition to software mass customization are a prohibitive adoption barrier for many organizations that could otherwise benefit. BigLever Software has developed a software mass custo...
