In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the potential of decision support tools for crop production. Attempts to provide such tools in the past 10 years have met with limited success. There are many inherently useful, scientifically valid, model-based tools currently gathering dust due to a lack of farmer interest. This paper discusses reasons for failure and explores the possi...

One of the important stages in the implementation of a GIS is referred to preparation of data to be entered to the system. To produce spatial data for entering to GIS using photogrammetric techniques, common and current method is to utilize photogrammetric and GIS systems individually (off-line procedure). Preparing spatial data on the basis of the mentioned method has a lot of problems, such a...

The automation of B2B processes is currently a hot research topic. In particular, multi-agent systems have been used to address this arena, where agents can represent enterprises in an interaction environment, automating tasks such as contract negotiation and enactment. Contract monitoring tools are becoming more important as the level of automation of business relationships increase. When busi...

Due to the massive loss of leaves in parks and green spaces and big cities such as Isfahan and the lack of domestic production of leaf vacuum shredder machine for use in large green spaces of parks, the design and construction of the collecting and recycling by the system is need so the design of the vaccum section which is one of the main parts and includes entrance, channels and ducts and exh...

This paper discusses production systems design issues, applied to the production system layout of a manufacturer of lighting fittings and components. In this paper, production systems design software tools – Information Systems, Simulation and Computer Aided Design are integrated, exploring ways of dealing with data diversity and assuring valid and efficient production system layouts, taking ad...

water conveyance systems (wcss) are costly infrastructures in terms of materials, construction, maintenance and energy requirements. much attention has been given to the application of optimization methods to minimize the costs associated with such infrastructures. historically, traditional optimization techniques have been used, such as linear and non-linear programming. in this paper, applica...
