In this work we consider an industrial maintenance process control problem using cellular automata approach. The problem consists on finding an optimal control for the assignment and the displacement of agents in a spatial area to maintain the equipments in good working state. The approach by cellular automata is based on: an operating statistics for determining the attributes of equipments and...

In this paper, we study the problem of joint access control and spectrum resour...

The need of efficient implementation, safety and performance requires early validation in the design of computer control systems. The detailed timing and reachability analysis in the development process is particularly important if we design equipments or algorithms of high performance and availability. In this paper we present a case study related to the early validation of control systems mod...

The paper employs a case study methodology and uses performance-importance analysis to determine the information quality dimensions that affect the einnovation process. The selected case is a high technology organisation dealing with the design and manufacturing electronic equipments and tools used for medical test. The equipments designed by the organisation comprise components designed by oth...
