This paper presents a scheduling model for computer music systems. We give an overview of planning and scheduling issues in computer-aided music creation and rendering, and propose strategies for executing actions and computations in music composition or performance contexts. Introduction It is well known that the notion of scheduling can imply different levels and complexity in planning tasks ...

Process understanding and process monitoring are of great importance in production order to control processes guarantee a high quality. Demanding customer requirements with an increasing number variants pose even greater challenge the quality processes, as this must be maintained at highest level event changes. In addition, new regulations standards require data recorded stored, especially manu...

Recently, discrete part manufacturing systems have encountered more impending requests for adaptability and flexibility in order to efficiently survive the increasing dynamics of manufacturing environment. Although featurebased computer-aided process planning plays a vital role in automating and integrating design and manufacturing for efficient production, its off-line properties prohibit the ...

Achieving an appropriate assembly sequence needs deep verification for its physical feasibility. For this purpose, industrial engineers use several assembly predicates; namely, liaison, geometric feasibility, stability and mechanical feasibility. However, testing an assembly sequence for these predicates requires huge assembly information. Extracting such assembly information from an assembled ...

Classification of engineering parts is very important activity especially in process planning. It is one of important methods utilised in group technology approach for computer aided process planning. The paper deals with methods of classification. Special attention is given to dynamic methods of part grouping as a new method of classification. The dynamic method especially extended possibility...

Although feature-based computer-aided process planning plays a vital role in automating and integrating design and manufacturing for ef®cient production, its off-line properties prohibit the shop ̄oor controllers from rapidly coping with unexpected production errors. The objective of the paper is to suggest a neural network-based dynamic planning model, by which the shop ̄oor controllers determin...

objectives : the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the marginal adaptation and fracture resistance of a zirconia-based all-ceramic restoration with two preparation designs. materials and methods: twenty-four mandibular premolars were randomly divided into two groups (n=12); the conventional group received a peripheral shoulder preparation and the modified group received a buccal sho...

A myriad of extirpative surgical protocols for the management of benign tumors of the jaws have been presented in the literature. Through significant advancements in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology and surgical instrumentation, today surgeons have at their disposal robust technology-driven techniques that are aimed at improving surgical outcomes. Our ...

modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. in light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of processing...

CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) in implant dentistry has broadened their application areas into treatment planning, implant placement and restorations. Due to the multitude and complexity of developing techniques, it is challenging to choose the optimal method for each patient. Therefore, this clinical report describes a method of restoring an edentulous maxilla by ...
