Harmonizing Driver and Automation

Fixture Design Automation and Optimization Techniques: Review and Future Trends

Fixture design is crucial part of manufacturing process. Fixture design is a critical design activity process, in which automation plays an integral role in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD). This paper presents a literature review in computer aided fixture design (CAFD) in terms of automation and optimization techniques over the past decades. First, the...

Indirect Shared Control of Highly Automated Vehicles for Cooperative Driving between Driver and Automation

It is widely acknowledged that drivers should remain in the control loop of automated vehicles before they completely meet real-world operational conditions. This paper introduces an ‘indirect shared control’ scheme for steer-bywire vehicles, which allows the vehicle control authority to be continuously shared between the driver and automation through unphysical cooperation. This paper first ba...

Detecting, Expressing, and Harmonizing Autonomy in

We discuss the importance of expression and understanding of autonomy among social agents. We present steps in design of systems that facilitate automatic detection and expression of interagent autonomy.

Relational Database ManagementSystems : Harmonizing SQL and SGMLG

Combined text and relational database support is increasingly recognized as an emerging need of industry, spanning applications requiring text elds as parts of their data (e.g., for customer support) to those augmenting primary text resources by conventional relational data (e.g., for publication control). In this paper, we propose extensions to SQL that provide exible and eecient access to str...
