Data model, planning restrictions, and objectives related to manufacturing planning and control (MPC) strongly depend on the given production process and workshop. In our opinion, these individual properties are the reason, why standard software fails to properly support decisions in MPC. In this paper, we introduce a platform, which enables a configuration process to create affordable individu...

Feature models are widely used to model software product-line (SPL) variability. SPL variants are configured by selecting feature sets that satisfy feature model constraints. Configuration of large feature models involve multiple stages and participants, which makes it hard to avoid conflicts and errors. New techniques are therefore needed to debug invalid configurations and derive the minimal ...

The increasing complexity and cost of softwareintensive systems has led developers to seek ways of reusing software components across development projects. One approach to increasing software reusability is to develop a Software Product-line (SPL), which is a software architecture that can be reconfigured and reused across projects. Rather than developing software from scratch for a new project...

The effect of alkyl substituents on the C-phenyl and/or the N-Phenyl ring of benzophenylhydroxamic acid on their molecular structure and hydrogen bonding has been investigated. The predominant configuration in CHCl3 is determined by steric and electronic effects. Substituents on the C-phenyl ring favor the cis configuration, while substituents in the N-phenyl ring favor a trans c...

For more than 30 years, knowledge-based product configuration systems have been successfully applied in many industrial domains. Correspondingly, a large number of advanced techniques and algorithms have been developed in academia and industry to support different aspects of configuration reasoning. While traditional research in the field focused on the configuration of physical artefacts, reco...

Thomassen characterized some 1-plane embedding as the forbidden configuration such that a given 1-plane embedding of a graph is drawable in straight-lines if and only if it does not contain the configuration [C. Thomassen, Rectilinear drawings of graphs, J. Graph Theory, 10(3), 335-341, 1988]. In this paper, we characterize some 1-plane embedding as the forbidden configuration such that a given...

An n3-configuration in the real projective plane is a configuration consisting of n points and n lines such that every point is on three lines and every line contains three points. Determining sets are used to construct drawings of arbitrary n3-configurations in the plane, such that one line is represented as a circle. It is proved that the required determining set always exists, and that such ...
