This paper reports on our current eeort for applying probabilistic path planning techniques to logistics and operation in huge industrial installations (e.g., power plants). We show how the speciic domain constraints impose a dedicated software architecture to take advantage of the generality of probabilistic approaches. In addition, such an architecture should be compatible with existing CAD s...

Business administration and information systems research invent new terms and concepts not only to denote new phenomena but also to convey a new perspective on problems that are known in principle. The concept of information logistics links the functions of business logistics and information management. It focuses on vertical coordination within firms and horizontal coordination within and beyo...

Planning is vital to a wide range of domains, including robotics, military strategy, logistics, itinerary generation and more, that both humans and computers find difficult. Collaborative planning holds the promise of greatly improving performance on these tasks by leveraging the strengths of both humans and automated planners. However, this requires formalizing the problem domain and input, wh...

Abstract With the rapid development of e-commerce market, traditional logistics and warehousing methods are far from meeting needs industry. Logistics robots have great potential in area intelligent warehousing. Inspired by this, this paper introduces path planning principle A* algorithm application to find field robots. The is select grid with least cost for each step starting point until end ...

The definition of reliability may not be readily applicable for repairable systems. Our recent work has shown that multiple metrics are needed to fully account for the performance of a repairable system under uncertainty. Optimal tradeoffs among a minimal set of metrics can be used in the design and maintenance of these systems. A minimal set of metrics provides the most information about the s...
