Manufacturing Execution Systems - MES
The production plants of today develop into modern service centers. Economic efficiency of modern added value is not a property of products alone but of the process. Decisive potential in business now is a question of process capability, rather than production capability. Process capability in business requires real-time systems for optimization. Business-IT needs to be developed from telecommunications and ERP to real time services, which are not offered by the prevailing ERP systems. Today, only modern Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) offer real-time applications. They generate current as well as historic mappings of production facilities and thus they can be used as basis for optimizations. It is important to map the supply chain in real time. Increasing complexity in production requires an integrated view of the production and service facilities: detailed scheduling, status collection, quality, performance analysis, tracing of material and so on have to be recorded and displayed in an integrated way.
Managed Software Evolution
This book presents the outcomes of the “Design for Future – Managed Software Evolution” .The different lifecycles of software and hardware platforms lead to interoperability problems in such systems. Instead of separating the development, adaptation and evolution of software and its platforms, as well as aspects like operation, monitoring and maintenance, they should all be integrated into one overarching process. Accordingly, the book is split into three major parts, the first of which includes an introduction to the nature of software evolution, followed by an overview of the specific challenges and a general introduction to the case studies used in the project. The second part of the book consists of the main chapters on knowledge carrying software, and cover tacit knowledge in software evolution, continuous design decision support, model-based round-trip engineering for software product lines, performance analysis strategies, maintaining security in software evolution, learning from evolution for evolution, and formal verification of evolutionary changes. In turn, the last part of the book presents key findings and spin-offs. The individual chapters there describe various case studies, along with their benefits, deliverables and the respective lessons learned. An overview of future research topics rounds out the coverage.
Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing ; 20th International Workshop, LCPC 2007, Urbana, IL, USA, October 11-13, 2007, Revised Selected Papers
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 20th International Workshop on Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing, LCPC 2007, held in Urbana, IL, USA, in October 2007.The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on reliability, languages, parallel compiler technology, libraries, run-time systems and performance analysis, and general compiler techniques.
Kanban-Controlled Manufacturing Systems
Kanban control systems bear a great potential to significantly improve operations. A company may reap the full benefits of kanban control only after determining an optimal or near-optimal system configuration. To do that, methods are needed to evaluate the performance and operating costs of individual system configurations. We propose an innovative construction-kit approach that enables us to build stochastic analytical models of a large class of single- and multi-product kanban systems. The presented construction-kit approach may be extended and augmented in various directions
Building performance analysis
presents a comprehensive and systematic overview of the subject. It provides a working definition of building performance, and an in-depth discussion of the role building performance plays throughout the building life cycle. The book also explores the perspectives of various stakeholders, the functions of buildings, performance requirements, performance quantification (both predicted and measured), criteria for success, and the challenges of using performance analysis in practice. Assembles the current body of knowledge on building performance analysis in one unique resource Offers deep insights into the complexity of using building performance analysis throughout the entire building life cycle, including design, operation and management Contributes an emergent theory of building performance and its analysis
Automated technology for verification and analysis ; 5th International Symposium, ATVA 2007 Tokyo, Japan, October 22-25, 2007 Proceedings
This book presented theoretical methods to achieve correct software or hardware systems, including both functional and non functional aspects
Automated technology for verification and analysis ; 4th International Symposium, ATVA 2006, Beijing, China, October 23-26, 2006, Proceedings
The Automated Technology for Veri?cation and Analysis (ATVA) international symposium series was initiated in 2003, The main topics of the symposium include th- ries useful for providing designers with automated support for obtaining correct software or hardware systems, as well as the implementation of such theories in tools or their application. In the end, 35 papers were selected for inclusion in the program. ATVA 2006 had three keynote speeches given respectively by Thomas Ball, Jin Yang, and Mihalis Yannakakis. The main symposium was preceded by a tutorial day, consisting of three two-hourlectures given by the keynotespeakers.
Architecting Systems with Trustworthy Components ; International Seminar, Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, December 12-17, 2004. Revised Selected Papers
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the International Dagstuhl-Seminar on Architecting Systems with Trustworthy Components, held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in December 2004. The 10 revised full papers presented together with 5 invited papers contributed by outstanding researchers were carefully selected and included in the book reflecting ongoing impovement from the seminar. Core problems addressed by the seminar are measurement and normalization of non-functional properties, modular reasoning over non-functional properties, capture of component requirements in interfaces and protocols, interference and synergy of top-down and bottom-up aspects, duality of componentization and architecture, system properties, and opportunities for correctness by construction/static checking.
Analyzing computer system performance with Perl::PDQ
Analyzing computer system performance is often regarded by most system administrators, IT professionals and software engineers as a black art that is too time consuming to learn and apply. Finally, this book by acclaimed performance analyst Dr. Neil Gunther makes this subject understandable and applicable through programmatic examples. The means to this end is the open-source performance analyzer Pretty Damn Quick (PDQ) written in Perl As the epigraph in this book points out, Common sense is the pitfall of performance analysis. The performance analysis framework that replaces common sense is revealed in the first few chapters of Part I. The important queueing concepts embedded in PDQ are explained in a very simple style that does not require any knowledge of formal probability theory. Part II begins with a full specification of how to set up and use PDQ replete with examples written in Perl. Subsequent chapters present applications of PDQ to the performance analysis of multicomputer architectures, benchmark results, client/server scalability, and Web-based applications.
A Practical Programming Model for the Multi-Core Era ; 3rd International Workshop on OpenMP, IWOMP 2007, Beijing, China, June 3-7, 2007 Proceedings
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the Third International Workshop on OpenMP, IWOMP 2007, held in Beijing, China, in June 2007.The 14 revised full papers and 8 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 submissions. The papers address all topics related to OpenMP, such as OpenMP performance analysis and modeling, OpenMP performance and correctness tools and proposed OpenMP extensions, as well as applications in various domains, e.g., scientific computation, video games, computer graphics, multimedia, information retrieval, optimization, text processing, data mining, finance, signal and image processing, and numerical solvers.
