Separating I/O from Application Logic for Rule-Based Control Systems
Journal Title: Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services - Year 2011, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
One of the main reasons of using a rule-based approach to program control systems is that they can be formally verified. For such systems communication with the environment is often encoded within the knowledge base. Such inclusion may lead to issues with portability, extendibility, maintainability, and interoperability. The paper proposes a four layer architecture to solve these issues. A proof-of-concept RBS, targeted at control systems, and an example case are also given.

Application of a Fuzzy Inference System for the Optimization of Material Removal Rate and Multiple Surface Roughness Characteristics in the Machining of GFRP Polyester Composites
This paper presents a multi-objective extended optimization methodology applied in the machining of a randomly oriented GFRP rod. Design of Experiment (DOE) has been selected based on a L9 orthogonal array design with va...
Developing and Deploying Electronics Assembly Line Optimization Tools: A Motorola Case Study
The assignment of workloads to production equipment is one category of planning decision for an electronics assembly factory. In practice, line balancing requires not only selecting machines with sufficient placement acc...
Scheduling Problems with Learning and Ageing Effects: A Survey
In recent years, many papers concerning scheduling problems with simultaneous learning and ageing effects were published. In this paper, the state of the art of research concerning these problems is presented. In order t...
Stretching the Least Squares to Embed Loss Functions Tables
The method of least squares is extended to accommodate a class of loss functions specified in the form of function tables. Each function table is embedded into the standard quadratic loss function so that the nonlinear l...
Maximization of an Asymmetric Utility Function by the Least Squares
This note points out that a utility maximization procedure proposed in an earlier paper may be reduced to the least squares.The utility function is asymmetric in the sense that for each cue an ideal value and a permissib...
