Cost Function Modelling for Semi-automated SC, RTG and Automated and Semi-automated RMG Container Yard Operating Systems

This study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated Straddle Carrier (SC), Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) and automated Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) container yard operating cranes. It develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...

Patron Authentication, Biometrics, Automated Library

This paper discusses a new patron authentication approach in an automated and modern library based on the biometric recognition. The person working at the entrance or at the circulat ion desk of the library needs to either confirm or determine the identity of an individual requesting service in library. Presently, almost all of the libraries are using identity cards (ID card) for this purpose i...

Automated Inference of Software Library Usage Patterns

Modern software systems are increasingly dependent on third-party libraries. It is widely recognized that using mature and well-tested third-party libraries can improve developers’ productivity, reduce time-to-market, and produce more reliable software. Today’s open-source repositories provide a wide range of libraries that can be freely downloaded and used. However, as software libraries are d...
