Although different technologies have different objectives for different context of applications, they could be integrated or converged to achieve the required objectives. One technology can complement the weakness of another and convergence of technologies will make the system more robust and ideal. The smart environment relies first and foremost on sensory data from the real world. Sensory data comes from multiple sensors of different distributed locations. To meet the functional requirement of the various applications, it will be necessary for sensor systems to leverage and incorporate the advances and strengths in adjacent technologies to offer smart services. In this paper we discuss 3 areas of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) related, convergent technologies (i.e. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Agents, and Grid and how they can work together with WSN. In addition, the challenges found in convergence and the future trends beyond convergence are also discussed.

This paper aims to investigate the fuel surcharge models that can be applied to the trucking industry in Korea. A fuel surcharge model is considered to compensate transportation costs as oil prices change. Unlike the ocean and air transportation industry, the fuel surcharge models in trucking companies have not yet been fully generalized. This results in strikes by the transportation service suppliers when oil prices increase rapidly. Therefore, this paper suggests a couple of fuel surcharge models to be used in the trucking industry in Korea.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a low computation power devices used to identify objects or subjects. Thus the low power devices suffer from major security issues, especially in the areas of privacy and authentication. Therefore, researchers tried to suggest lightweight cryptography protocols. This paper suggests an improvement for the lightweight mutual authentication proposed protocol using Shrinking Generator (SG) by Shemaili et al. since the protocol is vulnerable to a serious attack that can expose the tag data and compromise it. Also, the paper presents a scenario about securing the airport environment using the SG-Based protocol.

Increasing legislative and consumer pressures on manufacturers to improve sustainability necessitates that manufacturers consider the overall life cycle and not be scope restricted in creating products. Product strategies to improve sustainability have design implications as many of the decisions made during the design stage will then determine the environmental performance of the final product. Coordination across the supply chain is potentially beneficial as products with improved energy efficiency can be better realised. This paper examines traditional product provision and proposes a sustainable product design process using life cycle assessment (LCA) at key points, as these decision points can provide opportunities for environmental improvements of products. Case studies of consumer and industry products in the electronics sector are examined in terms of improving sustainability by reviewing product architecture and technology solutions. This paper proposes methods and analytical models to better understand sustainable design strategies for manufacturing firms and thus aid manufacturers during the earliest stages of product planning to consider alternative product development approaches which are more sustainable.

This paper proposes to utilize internet protocol version six (IPv6) or related format to uniquely identify not only things (objects) but also processes, relationships (syntax, semantics) and interfaces (sensors). Convergence of identification with information using the 128-bit IPv6 structure is possible because it offers 3.4x1038 unique instances to identify events. It is not necessary that all instances must be connected to the internet or routed or transmitted simply because an IP addressing format is suggested. This is a potential alphanumeric framework or the infrastructure of the structure of the platform which may be necessary for (a) identification to improve revenue potential from data routing (P2P packet tracking) for telecommunication industries, (b) use in healthcare and in biomedical sciences, (c) explore the scope of its use in the semantic web by transitioning URIs used in RDF, (d) manage applications involving thousands of mobile ad hoc sensors (MANET) that demand dynamic adaptive autoreconfiguration. This paper offers clues which may be useful to create a digital platform based on a globally accepted standard template (IPv6) to converge syntax and semantics with data, process and context to improve systems interoperability and transparency. The latter, if combined with intelligent tools, such as, application of artificial neural networks and predictive analytical techniques, such as, time-series econometric forecasting tools, may enhance operations management and supply chain logistics by enabling the estimation of risk, measurement of uncertainties and calculation of inefficiencies. These and other dynamic factors as well as outlier events are to be constantly mitigated in order to remain competitive and increase profit in a volatile global economy.

This paper is focused on an analysis of Elevating Transfer Vehicle (ETV) System installed in an existing air cargo terminal. The operation of ETV System is very similar to that of Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS), and the existence of multi-input and output (I/O) points in ETVs is assumed. The proximity value (PV) is defined for the procedure of storage assignment in ETVs with multi-I/O points. The validity and usefulness of the PV in the assignment procedure of automated storage are shown through the simulation study. For a multi-I/O point ETV, dynamic time based PVs are more efficient for the storage policy while the class-based storage policy works better for a single I/O point system. Although, this study focuses mainly on an efficient policy for an ETV system, the proposed rule for the operation of the system would work with an AS/RS as well.

The recent appear of new technologies in product identification along the supply chain, gives foot to a new way of addressing old integration problems in the implementation of models and systems. Research in new identification technologies comes hand in hand with the one being carried out towards a better integration between manufacturing and distribution. This last integration is being done by the use of optimization models for plant configurations, which takes into account operational and structural aspects of such systems in a manufacturing environment. This paper deals with some of the problems that appear in product identification along the production/supply chain as well as some of the techniques that are being used to tackle them. A new approach for facing different aspects of production, storage and distribution planning is discussed, and a feasible model is presented.

This paper presents a preventive maintenance model considering inspection for condition based maintenance. Preventive maintenance is a prevention of system breakdowns to failures with schedule of planned maintenance actions. This paper discusses the inspection of product item condition for product deterioration. We assume that there could be three types of maintenance actions after the inspection: minimal repair (as bad as old), imperfect repair (between of minimal and major repair) and perfect or major repair (as good as new). The purpose of this study is to present a condition based preventive maintenance model for the lifespan of sold product that could maximize the system availability by using Markov process. The presented results make it clear to verify that comparison of closed form analytical result and RELEX reliability commercial software result.
