Normally the operator’s interaction with Supervisory Systems developed for an industrial automated process is a manual process, which depends on the operator’s skills and the constant operation’s attention. This work presents the development, application and tests of the expert system denominated SISES “Sistema de Integração de Sistemas Especialistas e Supervisórios”, that means System of Integ...

While the goal of verification is to check whether a model of the system under consideration has a desired property, supervisory control achieves correctness by adding a so-called supervisor that prevents the occurrence of incorrect behaviors to the original system. Supervisory control methods are appealing because they can be much more tractable than the corresponding verification problems. He...

Supervisory control of the mobile robot navigation system has critical importance. The supervisory control software development of mobile robot navigation can be performed in an unknown environment or for controlled robots in a known environment. Finite automata and graph theory are functional tools in modeling the robot navigation system through discrete environment. This research has emphasis...

The authors examined the effects of supervisory guidance (providing instruction to employees) and behavioral integrity (a pattern of word-deed alignment) on employee organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and deviant behavior. Results revealed a pattern of Supervisory Guidance x Behavioral Integrity interaction effects, such that relationships between guidance and outcome variables were depe...

Because of their nondeterministic nature of behaviour, the supervisory control of manufacturing systems must be carried out in closed loop. This trait greatly increases the size and complexity of the Discrete-Event System (DES)-based supervisorycontrollers of manufacturing systems. In an attempt t o cope with this complexity, a Hybrid Supervisory Controller HSC) i s proposed. It splits pervisor...

In a new era, the organizational climate has built as the norms, values, beliefs, traditions, and ceremonies where people work together to solve problems and face challenges. This study was to determine whether there is a relationship between each of the three dimensions of organizational climate (supervisory support, autonomy, and goal direction) and Organizational Citizenship Behavior-Individ...

Although scholars have long acknowledged the importance of having effective networks in business, little is known about role women’s professional status effectiveness their networks. Drawing on gender-status beliefs theory, we examine how a woman’s affects levels trust information that she shares with members her network. We hypothesize network are likely to mistrust from women because mismatch...

This article examines the unique risks associated with Islamic financial institutions and the secular state’s reticence to directly regulate their religious dimension. It argues that the state’s method of regulating the Islamic financial industry ignores special reputational risks associated with the religious and cultural distinctiveness of Islamic banks. The Financial Services Authority (FSA)...
