This paper considers the Tchebychev distance for a facility location problem with a probabilistic line barrier in the plane. In particular, we develop a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for this problem that minimizes the total Tchebychev distance between a new facility and the existing facilities. A numerical example is solved to show the validity of the developed model. Becau...

Computer graphics animation systems provide the ability to integrate on-site engineers’ expertise into design systems as well as construction management processes. Computer graphics animation improves coordination and communication among engineering, construction and client organizations. The expedited communication leads to a substantial improvement of quality and productivity in the AEC indus...

This research is collaborative investigation with the general-purpose motor manufacturer. To review construction method in production process, we applied the parameter design method of quality engineering and tried to approach the optimization of construction method. Conventionally, press-fitting method has been adopted in process of fitting rotor core and shaft which is main component of motor...

We consider a single-facility location problem, where agents are positioned on the real line and partitioned into multiple disjoint districts. The goal is to choose (where public facility be built) so as minimize total distance of from it. This process distributed: positions in each district first aggregated representative for district, then one representatives chosen location. indirect access ...

Equipment selection is a key factor in modern construction industry. As it is a complex factor, current models offered by literatures fail to provide adequate solutions for major issues like systematic evaluation of soft factors and weighting of soft benefits in comparison with costs. This paper aims at making a comparative study between GA and AHP by utilising MATLAB as a tool. It is a conveni...

We present a case study on automatic synthesis of control software from formal speciications for an industrial automation control system. Our aim is to compare the eeectiveness (i.e. design eeort and controller quality) of automatic controller synthesis from closed loop formal speciications with that of manual controller design followed by automatic veriication. The system to be controlled (pla...
