The concept of virtual organization (VO) challenges the way industrial production systems are planned and managed. Basically, a VO is temporary alliance of enterprises that come together to share skills and resources in order to better respond to business opportunities and are enterprises whose cooperation is supported by computer network. At the same time, the importance of information and communication technology (ICT) has been growing and has caused the situation where ICT functional area profoundly affects the organizational performance. The current article focuses on the topic, how to align business goals and ICT activities in VO.

This work aims to optimize transportation processes in production by throwing objects between the working stations instead of transporting them on conveyed belts. One aspect of this new approach is the accurate prediction of interception positions of thrown objects with the catching robot. In a first step, this work analyzes the variation of the flight trajectories to specify the requirements for an appropriate catching-device. Several objects were thrown by a throwing-device and the range of their passages through a gate similar to the portal of the proposed gantry robot for object catching were measured. The second and main part of this work deals with calculating the objectpsilas position in flight and accurately predicting a point of interception with the catching robot. The proposed prediction model for interception positions bases on two inputs: the starting angles extracted from observations of a single camera and the speed of the object measured by two light barriers. The model is precise enough in respect to the size of the gripper of the catching robot.

With the rapid development of technology and improvement of national living standards, the application of AMR (automatic meter reading) by varieties of advanced network technologies has been acknowledged. In Europe, U.S.A. and other developed countries, AMR with RF (radio frequency) or PLC (power line carrier communication) has been widely used. However, the technology is rarely used in developing countries nowadays because residents building styles and network infrastructures are different. The emergence of NGN (next generation network), WiFi (wireless fidelity), WIMAX (worldwide interoperability for microwave access) and other advanced technologies provide new ways to help AMR to develop. Firstly, several kinds of current AMR communications and network patterns are described and the architecture of the remote meter reading suitable to next-generation network is put forward based on the full study of services layer in NGN. Secondly, three solutions for China according to the evolution and development of NGN are designed on the basis of analyzing specific situation of developing countries. The solutions are suitable for the new city residential areas, the old city residential areas and the vast rural areas respectively.

Many natural language dialog systems have been developed with relational database (RDB) as a machine-readable knowledge source. However, RDB has some problems for answering the questions which need complex domain-specific information. In addition to the typical problems of RDB such as dependency and redundancy problems, limitations of meaning representation and storing various domain knowledge problems also exist. To solve the problems of RDB, we adopted ontology concepts as a knowledge representation method. Ontology knowledge has some advantages about representing and querying information. In this paper, we developed ontology-based approach for information-seeking to improve traditional RDB-based natural language dialog systems. This is more flexible than RDB-based dialog system for answering to complex questions. To implement our system, we designed hand-crafted ontology schemas for an electronic program guide (EPG) application and we populated ontology instances from Web pages semi-automatically. We believe that our preliminary evaluations show the possibility of our new system.

The buffered sequential execution model (BSENI) for IEC 61499 function block applications is presented. Before the execution of the application the composite function blocks are flattened. The resulting application containing the basic and service interface function blocks is executed. The basic function blocks are put in the ready queue in the same order that they receive the input events, hence the word ldquosequentialrdquo in the name. Each basic function block keeps a queue of incoming events with their associated data, hence the word ldquobufferedrdquo in the name. Scheduling policy of the blocks is in the scheduling function while the execution policy of the received events is in the function block instance. The extended finite automata models suitable for formal verification of the proposed execution modelpsilas behavior are presented. The model may be analyzed using a discrete event systems tool called Supremica. The presented execution model is implemented in the Fuber runtime environment.

The virtual enterprises are models for distributed manufacturing where activities ranging from product design to actual production are carried out amongst geographically dispersed entities. Communication, collaboration and competition are some of the emerging issues in this form of production. To address these challenges in such distributed systems, we adopt the use of software agents, which are intelligent, collaborative, reactive and mobile entities. Although there is significant literature on implementation of virtual enterprises, there are fewer contributions that address flexibility and reliability of such systems. In this paper, we present formal model of agent-based supply chain management (SCM) in a virtual enterprise involved in product manufacturing. Our model is presented at different levels of abstraction and formalism. A decision tree is used to capture the logic of production planning based on the requirement specification. This is subsequently transformed to a declarative programming language for systempsilas instantiation. The pi-calculus notation is adopted for lower level modeling of the SCM. We propose a model which is useful for the development of flexible software systems and support of virtual enterprises and distributed production. Also, the proposed framework is formalized to enhance the reliability of system specifications.

The aim of this paper is to investigate a new calibrating approach to determine the coordinate transformation between the robot tool and the external axle worktable. The approach can be divided into three different steps. Firstly, the coordinate transformation between the robot wrist and the contact position sensor tool is calibrated. Secondly, the coordinates transformation between the robot tool and the external axle worktable is calibrated by the robot and the contact position sensor joint measurement system. Finally, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is adopted to optimize the key parameters to improve the system precision. From the presented approach, the robot system with external axle is calibrated successfully. The effectiveness of the presented approach is demonstrated via some experiments.

Calculating the Cartesian coordinate is the first step of image reconstruct based on primitive information from laser scanner. A novel 3D Depth-of-field information collection system in this article is consisted of tow 2D laser scanners and a servo-actuates rotating mirror assembly. The system has a much higher detecting precision than others which drive 2D laser scanner to rotate to get the 3rd dimension using motor. On the other hand the relationship between the 3D Cartesian coordination and the primitive information collected by the system is much more complicated than others because of the mirror assembly. Therefore traditional mathematical model which change polar coordinate to Cartesian coordinates can not be used to our system. In the article we build the solid geometry model of the laser beam between laser scanner and the detected object based on optical theory. Then a mathematical model for the transformations from primitive information to Cartesian coordinate is built according to the geometry model. The mathematical model has been tested in simulation on PC.

This paper describes a practical training course for engineering students on embedded systems that are based on electronic control units (ECU) that use the Freescale HCS12 microcontroller. An evaluation board was designed as a single platform for academic purposes and it was implemented with a Freescale HCS12 microcontroller, sensors, a motor, an LED module, and communication modules. Among many microcontrollers, the Freescale HCS12 was chosen because it is widely implemented as an ECU in the automotive industry. The automotive industry was the exclusive domain of mechanical engineers in the past, but after ECUs began to be incorporated in automobiles, more electronic engineers have been required. The 68CH11/12 microcontroller has been very popular in the academic environment and the Freescale HCS12 microcontroller is derived from it. In order to provide engineering students with practical experience with embedded systems that are widely used in industry, an embedded system course has been organized.
