The Industrial Information Technology Handbook
The Industrial Information Technology Handbook focuses on existing and emerging industrial applications of IT, and on evolving trends that are driven by the needs of companies and by industry-led consortia and organizations. Emphasizing fast growing areas that have major impacts on industrial automation and enterprise integration, the Handbook covers topics such as industrial communication technology, sensors, and embedded systems. The book is organized into two parts. Part 1 presents material covering new and quickly evolving aspects of IT. Part 2 introduces cutting-edge areas of industrial IT. The Handbook presents material in the form of tutorials, surveys, and technology overviews, combining fundamentals and advanced issues, with articles grouped into sections for a cohesive and comprehensive presentation. The text contains 112 contributed reports by industry experts from government, companies at the forefront of development, and some of the most renowned academic and research institutions worldwide. Several of the reports on recent developments, actual deployments, and trends cover subject matter presented to the public for the first time.
Fruit of the Poisonous Vine
Murders, lies, and religion make for bad medicine when an influential corporate lawyer with a trunk filled with unregistered IVs of blood are discovered in the aftermath of gangland massacre. The investigation leads the Stonehaven Gang Related Task Force to Divinity Medical Center; a holistic hospital where alchemy, faith healing, and magic are practiced in conjunction with secular medicine. Secrets begin to unravel as Stonehaven's finest chart a course through legal courtrooms, necromantic inquiries, hospital politics, religious infighting, corporate intrigue and mob enforcers in the search for answers as to the relationship between the blood, a notorious CEO and a vigilante on the prowl for mobsters. The Stonehaven series is an adventure drama set in a modern day fantasy realm where magic and technology co-exist, and elves, ogres, and dwarves live side-by-side with humans in one of the largest cities in the world.
Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems for Manufacturing
The challenge faced in today’s manufacturing and business environments is the question of how to satisfy increasingly stringent customer requirements while managing growing system complexity. For example, customers expect high-quality, customizable, low-cost products that can be delivered quickly. The systems that deliver these expectations are by nature distributed, concurrent, and stochastic, and, as a result, increasingly difficult to manage. Unfortunately, the traditional hierarchical, strictly centralized approach to control used in these domains is characteristically inflexible, fragile, and difficult to maintain. These shortcomings have led to the development of a new class of manuf...
Emerging Solutions for Future Manufacturing Systems
Industries and particularly the manufacturing sector have been facing difficult challenges in a context of socio-economic turbulence characterized by complexity as well as the speed of change in causal interconnections in the socio-economic environment. In order to respond to these challenges companies are forced to seek new technological and organizational solutions. In this context two main characteristics emerge as key properties of a modern automation system – agility and distribution. Agility because systems need not only to be flexible in order to adjust to a number of a-priori defined scenarios, but rather must cope with unpredictability. Distribution in the sense that automation and business processes are becoming distributed and supported by collaborative networks. Emerging Solutions for Future Manufacturing Systems includes the papers selected for the BASYS’04 conference, which was held in Vienna, Austria in September 2004 and sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).
Industrial Applications of Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Industrial Applications of Holonic and Multi-Agent Systems, HoloMAS 2017, held in Lyon, France, in August 2017. The 19 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: scheduling; knowledge engineering; modeling, simulation and reconfiguration; energy systems;and MAS in various areas.
Information Management in Computer Integrated Manufacturing
This book presents a modern and attractive approach to computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) by stressing the crucial role of information management aspects. The 31 contributions contained constitute the final report on the EC Project TEMPUS No. 2609 aimed at establishing a new curriculum and regular education in the new field of information management in CIM at European universities. Much attention was paid to the style of writing and coverage of the important issues. Thus the book is particularly suited as a text for students and young scientists approaching CIM from different directions; at the same time, it is a comprehensive guide for industrial engineers in machine engineering, computer science, control engineering, artificial intelligence, production management, etc.
Proceedings of the 1994 Academy of Marketing Science (AMS) Annual Conference
This volume includes the full proceedings from the 1994 Academy of Marketing Science (AMS) Annual Conference held in Nashville, Tennessee. The research and presentations offered in this volume cover many aspects of marketing science including marketing strategy, consumer behavior, international marketing, marketing education, among others. Founded in 1971, the Academy of Marketing Science is an international organization dedicated to promoting timely explorations of phenomena related to the science of marketing in theory, research, and practice. Among its services to members and the community at large, the Academy offers conferences, congresses and symposia that attract delegates from around the world. Presentations from these events are published in this Proceedings series, which offers a comprehensive archive of volumes reflecting the evolution of the field. Volumes deliver cutting-edge research and insights, complimenting the Academy’s flagship journals, Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science (JAMS) and AMS Review. Volumes are edited by leading scholars and practitioners across a wide range of subject areas in marketing science.
