We present an approach towards automatic component assembly based on aspect-oriented generative domain modeling. It involves the lifecycle covering the component specification generation, and subsequent assembly of implementation components to produce the final software system. Aspect-oriented techniques are applied to capture the crosscutting concerns that emerge during the assembly process. S...

We analyze a dual resource constrained (DRC) job shop in which both machines and workers are limited, and we seek to minimize Lmax, the maximum job lateness. An allocation of workers to machine groups is required to generate a schedule, and determining a schedule that minimizes Lmax is NP-hard. This chapter details a probabilistic method for evaluating the quality of a specific (but arbitrary) ...

BACKGROUND 1996 will see the introduction of summative assessment of general practitioner registrars (trainees). One part of this assessment is the written submission of practical work. In the west of Scotland, audit projects have been chosen as the format for practical work. A valid and reliable marking schedule for such projects is needed. AIM A study was undertaken to develop a criterion-r...

This paper proposed a parallel automated assembly line system to produce multiple products having multiple autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs). Several assembly lines are configured to produce multiple products in which the technologies of machines are shared among the assembly lines when required. The transportation between the stations in an assembly line (intra assembly line) and among station...

An assemble-to-order policy delays the final assembly operations of a product until a customer order is received. The quality of the final product is determined by the quality of the assembly operations. The datamining approach presented in this paper uses information extracted from production history to determine the sequence of assemblies that minimize the risk of producing faulty products. T...

This article presents a literature review within the area of Human-Automation-Interaction in order to find trends and central factors in recent HAI research. These factors will then be used in order to suggest a cognitive automation strategy for final assembly. Trends within final assembly is towards take individual aspects into account, choose an appropriate level of automation and investigate...

An important element of the cost of distance is time taken in delivering final and intermediate goods. We argue that time costs are qualitatively different from direct monetary costs such as freight charges. The difference arises because of uncertainty. Unsynchronised deliveries can disrupt production, and delivery time can force producers to order components before demand and cost uncertaintie...

We propose an iterative approach to constructing regular shapes by self-assembly. Unlike previous approaches, which construct a shape in one go, our approach constructs a final shape by alternating the steps of assembling and disassembling, increasing the size of the shape iteratively. This approach is embedded into an extended hexagonal tile assembly system, with dynamic strength transformatio...
