Some previous studies have been made in order to integrate several dimensions of design: product design, manufacturing process design and supply chain design especially integrated in pairs. Few of these studies were interested in the integration of the three dimensions at once and together. The purpose of this paper is to achieve a state of the art about all type of integration, the three Dimensional Integration of Design 3-DID: goals, importance, propositions and limits. A taxonomy of the main three dimensions is explored.

A key functionality in military logistics is the concept of sense and respond logistics to provide asset visibility, rapid response, and advanced agility tailored to all military decision levels: strategic, operational, and tactical. Future military forces do require a near-real-time in-transit and total visibility of assets, personnel, and vital supplies. The implementation of an end-to-end asset visibility (AV) model enabled by novel tracking and monitoring technologies, is essential toward reaching the desired goal. This paper proposes an integrated model for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) supply network suitable for asset visibility tracking and monitoring. It presents a high level design framework for end-to-end visibility and up to date asset information. It also discusses novel emergent technology, such as Next-Generation Wireless Communication (NGWC) mesh networking protocol (combined to active RFID) and RuBee, and its emerging challenges to successfully track CAF assets and provide in-theatre and in-transit visibility. NGWC technology provides an ultra-low power wireless protocol to collect and route logistics data to information systems which could be very effective in closing in-theatre and in-transit asset visibility gaps.

Controlling the vehicle traffic in large networks remains an important challenge in urban environments and transportation systems. Autonomous vehicles are today considered as a promising approach to deal with traffic control. In this paper, we propose a synchronization-based intersection control mechanism to allow the autonomous vehicle-agents to cross without stopping, i.e., in order to avoid congestions (delays) and energy loss. We decentralize the problem by managing the traffic of each intersection independently from others. We define control agents which are able to synchronize the multiple flows of vehicles in each intersection, by alternating vehicles from both directions. We present experimental results in simulation, which allow to evaluate the approach and to compare it with a traffic light strategy. These results show the important gain in terms of time and energy at an intersection and in a network.
