Interdependency in coordinating networked maintenance and modification operations

Operations and Maintenance 2

Large computer systems consist of many parts, only some of which contribute directly to the application for which the system was built. This collection of patterns describes several capabilities of a system that perform this background, supporting role. The roles of these patterns is to aid in application specific data, performance and health measurements, managing faults, and also managing the...

They would like to coordinate their operations so as to minimize overall cost. At the same time, they would like to keep information about their costs, constraints and preferences private, thus precluding conventional negotiation. We show how AI techniques, in particular Di...

A fixed and flexible maintenance operations planning optimization in a parallel batch machines manufacturing system

Scheduling has become an attractive area for artificial intelligence researchers. On other hand, in today's real-world manufacturing systems, the importance of an efficient maintenance schedule program cannot be ignored because it plays an important role in the success of manufacturing facilities. A maintenance program may be considered as the heath care of manufacturing machines and equipments...
