Many logistic problems arising in supply chain management, distribution and inventory management call for the integration of different components of the production/distribution system which have to be coordinated in such a way that a common objective, which can be the cost minimization or the revenue maximization, is optimized. Thus, in order to find the best management policy, one should be ab...

We study the problem of data integration from sources that contain probabilistic uncertain information. Data is modeled by possible-worlds with probability distribution, compactly represented in the probabilistic relation model. Integration is achieved efficiently using the extended probabilistic relation model. We study the problem of determining the probability distribution of the integration...

Intelligent manufacturing under Industry 4.0 assimilates sophisticated technologies and artificial intelligence for sustainable production outcomes. Blockchain paradigms are coined with concurrent well-monitored flawless production. This article introduces Sustainable Production concerned External Demands (SP-ED). method is more specific about energy the distribution outage-less supply. First, ...

The major part of environments for parallel programming in distributed systems either neglects load distribution support or realizes load distribution by the trivial task farming paradigm. This paper presents new language concepts for the support of application integrated load distribution. In addition to the task farming approach, the system can also dynamically migrate objects. Active objects...
