Mechanical defects of a vehicle driving system can be dangerous on the road. Diagnostic systems, which monitor operations of electric and electronic elements and devices of vehicles, are continuously developed and improved, while defects of mechanical systems are still not managed properly. This article proposes supplementing existing on-board diagnostics with a system of diagnosing selected de...

Cloud manufacturing is a new paradigm which has been under study since 2010 and a vast body of research has been conducted on this topic. Among them, service composition problems are of utmost importance. However, most studies only focused on private clouds meaning the objective function is defined for just one component of the supply chain. This paper attempts to consider service composition p...

In this paper a model for updates on belief sets and retractions thereof is introduced using the standard format of Adaptive Logics. The core of the update retraction procedure is represented by abnormal expressions derivable in the language: they express updates with information contradicting previously derived contents. The adaptive strategy aims at restricting the validity of these formulas ...
