The Human-Centric SMED (H-SMED) is an evolution of the classical methodology introduced by Shingo to manage setup process, which particularly suitable for companies where involves activities with high human content, that can be hardly transformed into external operations performed during machine uptime. H-SMED integrates Industry 4.0 tools, as MES Data Analysis, Lean Management and Ergonomics a...

By understanding the semantics of workflows and their data, grid middleware can provide data-centric services that are lacking in currently deployed process-centric grid middleware. We describe GridDB, a grid middleware system that provides data-centric services as well as one example service, computational steering.

This paper presents a modified digital image watermarking method based on nonnegative matrix factorization. Firstly, host image is factorized to the product of three nonnegative matrices. Then, the centric matrix is transferred to discrete cosine transform domain. Watermark is embedded in low frequency band of this matrix and next, the reverse of the transform is computed. Finally, watermarked ...
