Fixture design is crucial part of manufacturing process. Fixture design is a critical design activity process, in which automation plays an integral role in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD). This paper presents a literature review in computer aided fixture design (CAFD) in terms of automation and optimization techniques over the past decades. First, the...

Computer-aided process planning (CAPP) is an essential component in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Operation sequencing in CAPP is an essential activity. Each sequence of production operations which is produced in a process plan cannot be the best possible sequence every time in a changing production environment. As the complexity of the product incr...

Second language writing instruction has been greatly influenced by the growing importance of technology and the recent shift of paradigm from a cognitive to a social orientation in second language acquisition (Lantolf & Thorne, 2006). Therefore, the applications of computer assisted language learning and activity theory have been suggested as a promising framework for writing studies. The prese...

Multimedia interaction-based computer-aided translation (CAT) is an effective method for translating massive multimedia applications. It essential English learning tool college students with majors in technology. teachers need to properly guide their use CAT technology by improving the students’ capabilities via reasonable setting of courses, selection materials teaching, and implementation ass...

VINCI is a Natural Language Generation environment designed for use in computer-aided second language instruction. It dynamically generates multiple parallel trees representing an initial text, questions on this text, and expected answers, and either orthographic or phonetic output. Analyses of a learner’s answers to questions are used to diagnose comprehension and language skills and to adapti...
