In this paper, the problem of batch scheduling in a flexible flow shop environment is studied. It is assumed that machines in some stages are able to process a number of jobs simultaneously. The applications of this problem can be found in various industries including spring and wire manufacturing and in auto industry. A mixed integer programming formulation of the problem is presented and it i...

In this paper we present a modeling technique for security protocols using Abstract State Machines [BS03,Gur95] (ASMs). We describe how we model the different agents in the scenario, the attacker and the communication between them.

tendency to optimization in last decades has resulted in creating multi-product manufacturing systems. production planning in such systems is difficult, because optimal production volume that is calculated must be consistent with limitation of production system. hence, integration has been proposed to decide about these problems concurrently. main problem in integration is how we can relate pro...

rotating machines in particular induction electrical machines are important industry instruments. in manufacturing, electrical motors are exposed to many damages, and this causes stators and rotors not to work correctly. in this paper we addressed modal analysis and an intelligent method to detect motor load condition and also the stator faults such as turn-to-turn and coil-to-coil faults using...

In the printing industry, volatile organic compounds main sources are the uses of organic solvents, fountain solutions and cleaning agents. Nowadays, one circumstance which might confuse the exposure reality is that the majority of solvents which are often used have a faint odour. Therefore, the conditions at offset printing in regard to solvent exposure may seem acceptable to workers. Fortunat...
