When microscopy image data are stored and processed, the corresponding workflow is typically carried out by treating storing and processing separately. In many laboratories, it is common to store data on one computing system and process data on another system. This separation of storing and processing data has a negative impact on the traceability of results, and thus on reproducibility, as information...
A trip to the BMW Group’s Leipzig plant led to the perhaps counterintuitive realization that software development isn’t a linear manufacturing process.
As an emerging approach to support fast delivery of software features with reliable quality, DevOps attracts more and more practitioners and shows the potential to become one of the mainstream approach for software development and operation. Many universities begin to offer DevOps related courses to the students majored in software engineering and computer science. However, as a critical part of a...
With the rapid increase in data and its complexity of configuration and deployment bring a new challenge to the research community. In this scenario, automatic Hadoop cluster deployment and management tool provide a new horizon which plays a vital role in resource and packet management in distributed environment. This paper describes a low-cost Automatic Hadoop Cluster Deployment and Management tool...
The aim of this paper is to introduce a semantic methodology using ontology in order to improve results of data mining in judicial decisions database. An intelligent and automatic method to search for sentences in lawsuits related to the one in trial is presented. A judicial ontology is built with and without rules from experts. The method can provide judiciary celerity, seeking to solve the yearning...
Cyber-physical agnosticism (CPA) is a property of software in cyber-physical systems (CPS) to withstand various disturbances and keep maintaining the required behaviour of the physical process. With the increased research on the use of internet of things (IoT) in industrial automation (IoT-A), there is a need for robust distributed automation control systems that can take into account some overheads...
Today's industry increasingly requires flexibility and adaptability in the development of automation control software, especially for automated production systems (aPS) including an automated material flow system (aMFS). To meet these demands, the development of the automation control software and the modification during the operation of the aMFS has to become as easy as possible without taking a...
The issues of energy efficiency and energy balance in industrial enterprises are considered. Particular attention is paid to automatic control systems for heat supply in order to achieve energy savings. The experience of development, operation and maintenance phase of monitoring, analysis and control systems at heat supply facilities of enterprises in Vladivostok is given.
Test Automation Platform©1 (TAP) is a software system that developers can use to test their own hardware or software (or combinations of both). Developers create TAP test plans by combining and configuring individual test steps in a GUI. Developers can also develop their own test steps with .NET to better suit their needs. Since (manual) programming is always prone to errors, TAP users need...
Rising cost pressure and increasing engineering efforts reach the automation departments of machinery and plant engineering industry, in this case the rolling mill manufacturer. A suitable way to overcome this challenges is to adapt concepts and procedures from the software engineering domain. To support this process, the authors present the requirements for the next generation automation solution...
The water tank system is widely used for demonstration purposes in control engineering. This paper describes a training system for process automation, an ideal way to teach and learn about important aspects of automation. We present the implementation of a micro plant incorporating intelligent instruments. We also describe a set of teaching tools to facilitate the learning of concepts related to linear...
This paper presents the use of a new concept: Internet of Things (IoT), applied to the fermentation process of Cocoa at the Piura's mountain range. A prototype was designed and built with sensors that record the variables of temperature, oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process and send this information to the Internet. Finally a system has been developed that receives this information, visualizes...
With the advance of mobile technologies, virtual reality (VR) is coming to every corner of our life. The technology presents a major opportunity for retailers as they lure fickle shoppers to visit their virtual stores, particularly since modern consumers have shifted more of their buying habits online. Currently, merchants face the challenge to weed out malicious software from legitimate users to...
The domain of Automatic Program Repair (APR) had many research contributions in recent years. So far, most approaches target fixing generic bugs in programs (e.g., off-by-one errors). Nevertheless, recent studies reveal that about 50% of real bugs require API-specific fixes (e.g., adding missing API method calls or correcting method ordering), for which existing APR approaches are not designed. In...
The need to improve the quality of management at minimum costs, the complexity of the structure of the management object, the functions performed by it, leads to an increase in uncertainties that need to be taken into account. Application of typification and unification will allow to reduce the cost of production of new products, to increase the level of automation of productions.
The results of creation of electronic educational and methodological complexes of disciplines for training specialists in the field of technical systems automation control are considered. Electronic educational and methodical complexes were created in the e-learning system developed under the guidance of the authors of this report. An analysis is given of the experience of using the created electronic...
In the context of Industry 4.0, constantly evolving shop floors generate the need for a highly adaptive and autonomous automation system with lean maintenance, minimum downtime, maximum reliability, and resilience. Future Manufacturing Execution Systems (MESs) will be more complex and dynamic as well as distributed physically and logically. This makes it very difficult, if not impossible, for the...
Shorter innovation cycles along with the demand for individualized, high-quality products pose high challenges on today's automated material flow systems. These systems, suitable for producing bulk goods, but inflexible in case of product changes, need to react flexibly to unplanned configurations. Especially in the software domain retroactive adaptations are tedious work and prone to errors. By deploying...
At given article implemented analysis of basic approaches to realization of automation of control by enterprise finances. According to results of analysis and consideration of new approaches to successful processing of management by funds flow, proposed development of new intellectual information system of finance management. The purpose of which is to present to user only necessary information —...
