This paper presents a computing architecture suitable for the information information management and the demanding calculations of the supply chain. A grid architecture is proposed for distributed computations for simulation studies, integrated software applications, process synthesis, and large-scale optimisation. The proposed network features numerous advantages over traditional, monolithic s...

This paper describes an agent-based architecture designed to provide automation support for users who perform information processing tasks using a collection of distributed and disparate software tools and on-line resources. The architecture extends previous work on agent-based software interoperability. The unique features of the information processing domain compared to distributed informatio...

in the software development process, testing is one of the most human intensive steps. many researchers try to automate test case generation to reduce the manual labor of this step. negative selection is a famous algorithm in the field of artificial immune system (ais) and many different applications has been developed using its idea. in this paper we have designed a new algorithm based on nega...

Traditional software architecture models, such as: Object-oriented, Service-oriented, Agent-oriented, have been confronting the challenges in more and more complex distributed computing situations, e.g. pervasive computing, Internet of things, smart-city, etc. Organization-oriented architecture model is proposed to attempt to improve the abstraction and design capability of software architectur...

In this paper we describe a collaborative environment created to support distributed evaluation of a complex system architecture. The approach couples an interactive architecture browser with collaborative walkthroughs of an evolving architectural representation. The collaborative architecture browser was created to facilitate involvement of project stakeholders from geographically dispersed, h...

This agent architecture represents a distributed software solution for creating, using, and displaying the information necessary to model an industrial workflow process. It is composed of a Process Components segment to handle serverrelated tasks, a Workflow Definer to provide the client a graphical user interface (GUI) to assemble activities, and a Worklist Manager to provide the client a GUI ...

Software continues to play an ever-increasing role throughout manufacturing systems, in many cases as the prime contributor to Overall Factory Effectiveness (OFE), as well as system reliability, capability, operational cost and ramp-up and reconfiguration cost. The integration of information technology in manufacturing is one of the most important drivers for productivity growth in the manufact...

This work was proposed as a Doctoral Thesis of Applied Computing Course at Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE) and is a ongoing work. The main purpose of SICSDA is to allow that satellites control can be done through the same set of machines, enabling the choice of which one of the satellites is desirable to be monitored in a determined piece of time. Another important fact i...

The emerging area of intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) research has shown rapid development in recent years and offers a great number of research challenges for distributed autonomous robotics systems. In this article, a prototype distributed architecture for autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle experimentation is presented which supports the development of intelligent capabilities and th...
