Purpose This paper proposes a real-time knowledge support framework for the development of an RFID-multi-agent based process knowledge-based system which has the ability to solve dynamic logistics process management problems. Design/methodology/approach The proposed system is developed with " real-time process management " capability which automatically identifies current process status, perfor...

As big data analytics have become an important driver for ICT development, a large variety of approaches that apply these advanced technologies on a wide spectrum of applications has been introduced. In this paper we argue on the need of a multi-engine environment that will exploit the largely different models, cost and quality of the existing analytics engines. Such an environment further requ...

A new hybrid system of a tracked bulldozer is designed, which primarily consists of an engine-generator set, a battery pack, and a supercapacitor. According to the power requirements of typical working conditions and the output feature of three power sources, a fuzzy control and wavelet transform-based energy management strategy is proposed. Models of the hybrid system are built in Matlab/Simul...

Application of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in diesel engines has always been important, especially in the field of automotive engineering. This is due to easy accessibility, better mixing quality and good combustion characteristics of the CNG fuel. In this study the application of CNG fuel along with diesel oil in a heavy duty direct-injection automotive diesel engine is experimentally investi...

In this research work, the proposed model using Orchestration Engine for Supply Chain Management supports supply chain consists of all parties involved, directly or indirectly, in fulfilli...

The users of a content repository express the semantics they have in mind while defining the content items and their properties, and forming them into a particular hierarchy. However, this valuable semantics is not formally expressed, and hence cannot be used to discover meaningful relationships among the content items in an automated way. Although the need is apparent, there are several challe...

In the past few years there has been an increasing interest in distributed workflow management technology for the requirement of supporting business process in modern corporations. As the process in large enterprise tends to be across many branches which are distributed over a wide geographic area and have their own IT infrastructures, the current workflow management systems do not have suffici...
