Computer-aided Weaving: From Numerical Data to Generative Textile

Contemporary computers are direct descendants of the Jackard’s loom – an industrial era machine that used punched cards as a way of calculating and representing numerical data to be subsequently transformed into weaving patterns (Essinger 2004) – and of Babbage’s Analytical Engine, which employed a variation of the same system to perform complex probabilistic calculations (Swade 1991). In that ...

Innovations in the Indigenous Textile Weaving Firms in Southwestern Nigeria

The study investigated technology innovations and factors influencing its upgrading in the indigenous textile weaving firms in southwestern Nigeria. Data for the survey was sourced from 300 small scale firms with 91% retrieval rate. The survey instruments which were questionnaire, interview and personal observation elicited information on the weaving process. Majority (89%) of the respondents r...

Inter - Company Supply Chains Integration via Mobile Agents

In this paper we show how we have applied, in a current project, mobile agent technology to an industrial process in the field of textile manufacturing. The project involves several companies, each of which is a Europe-wide representative of one of the key phases of the textile production process (e.g. spinning, weaving, dyeing, finishing and ready made clothing). The main contribution of this ...

The Principle of Relativity: From Ungar’s Gyrolanguage for Physics to Weaving Computation in Mathematics

‎This paper extends the scope of algebraic computation based on a non standard $times$ to ‎the more basic case of a non standard $+$‎, ‎where standard means associative ‎and commutative‎. ‎Two physically meaningful examples of a non standard $+$ are ‎provided by the observation of motion in Special Relativity‎, ‎from either ‎outside (3D) or inside (2D or more)‎, ‎We revisit the ``gyro''-theory ...
