Mass customization results in proliferation of products and the corresponding routings. It thus necessitates a coordination issue regarding product and process variety. In addition to coping with product and process variety individually, the linchpin of variety coordination lies in the mapping relationships between the product and process domains. Due to the unstructured nature inherent in prod...

The paper at hand presents a research prototype for using a metamodelling tool in the context of business process modelling. The prototype has been part of an e-commerce-related project and implements the mapping of business process models to workflow schemata. A meta-modelling tool has been used for implementing a modelling tool and the mapping. The analysis of the mapping is based on finding ...

Mapping virtual process topology to physical processor topology is one of the most important issues in parallel computing. The mapping problem for switch-based cluster systems of irregular topology is very complicated due to the connection irregularity and routing complexity. This paper proposes two mapping schemes for irregular cluster systems, which try to map the nearest neighbors in the pro...

The semantic web envisions the Internet as a globally linked database, one that supports data interoperability and machine readable semantics. The “back-bone” of the semantic web is structural representations of domains of knowledge in the form of ontologies. A critical prerequisite to supporting this global information exchange is that mappings must exist between domain related ontologies. The...

expensive to provide these maps  with field measurements  therefore  it is better to use new methods. this study provides a lithological and alteration mapping units with dominant minerals based on hyperspectral images of eo1-hyperion satellite. to do so, two different zones  were  investigated:  the  cuprite-nevada  and  mozahem  volcano  in  iran  which  have suitable conditions for our study...

We study (stationary) Laplacian transport by the Dirichlet-to-Neumann formalism. Our results concerns a formal solution of the geometrical inverse problem for localisation and reconstruction of the form of absorbing domains. Here we restrict our analysis to the oneand two-dimension cases. We show that the last case can be studied by the conformal mapping technique. To illustrate it we scrutiniz...

â â â  in the last years, have been accelerated increased the damages of landslides by natural and anthropogenic factors. one of the main solutions to decrease landslide hazards is avoid from prone areas. for this purpose, it is necessary to prepare the landslide susceptibility map. in this research, after field studies in the ilam dam basin, nine factors including slope gradient, aspect, eleva...

Concept Mapping is a method for externalizing and reflecting knowledge about real world phenomena. In cooperative settings, concept maps can also be used to aid cooperative learning activities and the development of a common understanding about the mapping subject. This process imposes requirements on tool support that have hardly been addressed in existing concept mapping tools. We present a t...

It seems like a battle for ‘space’ has broken out in the Netherlands. Since the fifth National Policy Document on Spatial Planning has just been delivered, the topic spatial planning is high on the agenda of many governmental departments, special interest groups and research institutions. In the many discussions on the national policy document, a common call is the need for more interactive spa...

An analogy can be viewed as a device for conveying that two domains share significant relational structure even though they may not share surface similarity . The value of an analogy lies in its ability to give a causal or explanatory coherence to a new domain through the transference of a mutually-constraining set of relations . In Gentner's (1980, 1982, 1983) structure-mapping theory, this is...
