computer-integrated manufacturing (cim), technologies are presented as solutions tomanufacturing organizations, which need to perform well in all customer-related dimensionssimultaneously. in the literature, cim technologies providing such benefits as more frequentproduction changes, reduced inventory level, improved ability of producing complex parts with ahigh degree of accuracy and repeatabi...

To construct an expandable and adaptable dialog system which handles multiple tasks, we proposed a dialog system using a weighted finite-state transducer (WFST) in which users concept and system action tags are input and output of the transducer, respectively. To test the potential of the WFSTbased dialog management (DM) platform using statistical DM models, we constructed a dialog system using...

Objective: Instrument administration including accessibility control, schedule time for reservation, and periodical machine utilization are essential tasks high-end molecular laboratory. Such repetitive work can be automated using information technology.Material Methods: As a part of Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), the Research (RIMS) is an online application user-friendly plat...

Modern computer systems are often designed to play a multipurpose role. Therefore, they are capable of running a number of software components (software programs) simultaneously in parallel. These software components should share the system resources (e.g. processor and network) such that all of them run and finish their computations as expected. On the other hand, a number of software componen...

An adaptive resource reservation and handoff priority scheme, which jointly considers the characteristics from the physical, link and network layers, is proposed for a packet switching Multicode (MC)-CDMA cellular network supporting multimedia applications. A call admission region is derived for call admission control (CAC) and handoff management with the satisfaction of quality of service (QoS...

A preliminary study is presented that provides a framework to explore the communications requirements of wireless applications in generat with emphasis on multimedia applications. An estimate of bandwidth requirements for various basic common applications are given, from which network bandwidth requirements in different scenario can be evaluated. The delay and error characteristics for certain ...

High performance modular switch-based interconnection networks have become popular for both embedded computer systems and clusters of PCs/ workstations. However, these networks have typically no, or only limited, support for real-time communication. Applications like computerized visualization and multimedia streaming need support from the network to guarantee bandwidth and latency. In this the...

Energy-on-Demand home networking is a newly proposed paradigm, by which electric power is supplied to appliances and devices, in response to explicit requests. Energy-onDemand is especially effective when multiple power sources can be used in a house. In order to utilize the power from multiple sources, it is needed to get the best matching between power sources and powered devices. We focus on...

We design and implement an optical slot switching network for bulk content transfer. To realize the slot switching network, we employ the generalized multiprotocol label switching (GMPLS) extension protocol to reserve and release slots dynamically according to the application. We use optical switches as relay points in the slot switching network, and we employ a 10 ns highspeed Pb,La Zr,Ti O3 (...
