The field of haptic interaction is inherently multidisciplinary and adopts knowledge from many areas, including robotics, experimental psychology, biology, computer science, systems and control, and others. It is an important first step in research reviewing overall areas of hap-tic related researches, as well as reviewing the specific area of focus. For this purpose, it is important to ensure objective research direction based on the clear and enlightening analysis of the research trends in this field. This study aims to identify the relationship among overall areas of haptic related researches using a network analysis technique. We collected keywords of haptic related researches from several journals and used those as an input for conducting network analysis. Then, we also classified the areas of haptic researches by analyzing the relationship among keywords. From the network analysis, we found that haptic related researches could be classified into two areas; (1) Technology perspectives related to the application of haptic technology and (2) User perspectives related to the perception of haptic sensation. The keyword structure generated from this study is expected to provide basic knowledge on the trend and current status of researches in human haptic inter-action.

The swift economic change in contemporary experience has seen successful organisations seek to connect more rapidly and more effectively with others in the creation of new knowledge. The last decade has seen a growing interest in online networks as a formal and informal schema for transferring and generating knowledge within product development. These networks are rooted in the nature of knowledge creation as a socially embedded process. Collaborative technologies have been widely accepted and adopted as platforms facilitating innovation in the interactions of contemporary networks, and this paper seeks to develop an evaluation schema and employ it to examine how such interaction is facilitated through the medium of Web 2.0 technologies in an engineering network. The contribution of this research to theory and innovation technology practice will be to further the understanding of the impact of Web 2.0 technologies on engineering innovation networks.

This paper addresses a reliable facility location problem in which the possibility of facility disruption is considered. There are two types of candidate sites which differ from the reliability aspects. A combination of cooperative and backup coverage concepts are considered. It is assumed that customers can be covered by a combination of reliable and unreliable emergency centers in their primal coverage. Backup coverage is also considered for demands in which primal coverage is provided by unreliable centers. The proposed model aims to minimize the total costs, including fixed and expected transportation costs. The nonlinear formulation is resulted and is linearized by the necessary constraints. In addition, the abovementioned problem is solved by the GAMS optimization software, using a number of generated examples in order to demonstrate the performance of the model.

Lately, a range of applications of the LBS(Location Based Service) is being extended to indoor position estimation. This investment is caused by a huge expectation about the bright prospect of indoor LBS market, including mobile advertisement. Indoor position estimation is now being studied with various methods. Among them, the central field of indoor estimation method by using smart-mobile sensors. However, this method has its limitation within an urban environment because of sensing obstructions. To overcome the limitation of the IMU-based method, we determined the need of a combination of the IMU-based method, an infra-based estimation method and a hybrid design. So, we will use hybrid IMU-based method and a wireless infra method.(WPS).

This paper aims to design a model of integrated scheduling and automated controlling for a surface treatment process in an aircraft manufacturing company, where in this case aircraft parts are dyed into chemical liquid to be corrosion-proof. In the existing plant, parts dyeing processes (moving the crane and monitoring the tanks temperature) are done manually. Integrated scheduling and automation control system is proposed to improve planning, control and safety issues in the dyeing process. The scheduling system is developed using fuzzy logic algorithm to minimize makespan and the automation system is designed based on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). A case study has shown that the simulation of proposed model can result in reducing makespan of about 51,3 % and the schedule can be implemented automatically in the surface treatment prototype.

This study explores information technology (IT) readiness on E-commerce adoption of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in South-East Asia. Some studies point out that the SME take more advantages of E-commerce than large companies. However, due to limited resource for SME, E-commerce adoption should be treated in different business strategy. SMEs need to consider some factors and measure E-readiness before adopting E-commerce into their business. This paper utilizes an AHP method to evaluate IT readiness priority which critical to support the adoption of E-commerce. Using extended Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) E-readiness Assessment, this study aims to explore the consideration on E-commerce adoption and what should be prioritized by 17 CEOs of SMEs in South-East Asia.

This paper intends to design an Analytic Network Process model to assists managers of different pharmaceutical supply chain entities in identifying and prioritize the management practices they use or should use to achieve a competitive position in the market. The model involves interactions between various criteria for management practice selection. To this purpose a set of clusters and elements related to a Portuguese pharmaceutical supply chain are identified to compose the model and pairwise compared with respect to a given factor. The results obtained from the proposed model show that the most suitable management practice for the pharmaceutical supply chain studied is “Just In Time” if the lean supply chain management paradigm was implemented and “Promoting visibility throughout the supply chain” if was the agile paradigm. Concerning the key performance measures, “On-Time-In-Full delivery” and “Inventory value” are selected respectively for lean and agile supply chain management.

Pre-cast concrete components are commonly used for columns, beams, floors, walls and other structural elements in buildings. In general, several quality control assessments must be performed during the production of pre-cast concrete elements. Further, the quality of any cast product depends on material selection, equipment used and workmanship. The quality of surface finish is one feature which gives an immediate visual impact. In order to minimize life cycle costing for the structure, it is vital to have durable material and formed surfaces with few surface detects (i.e. honeycombing, air void surfaces, etc.). Surfaces of acceptable quality and accuracy are difficult to achieve and depend on functional and aesthetic requirements. However, the end user of pre-cast elements expects a high quality surface finish with minimum defects. It is a great challenge to reduce the occurrence of such surface defects during the production of the elements. This manuscript identifies factors affecting the surface finish of pre-cast elements. It also describes the possibility of using an engineering robust design approach to improve the surface finish of pre-cast elements and explains the experimentation approach.
