Organization of Production Processes through the Multi-Service Method by Performing some Identical Operations of the same Duration and Structure
2013
Organisation of production processes, by means of multi service method refers to the performance of attributions within a working system, using simultaneously or successively more inputs or more items in a single means of production, by one or more employees. In the specifically chosen case, in order to outline the advantages that shall be obtained after implementing the multi service method, we want to illustrate a situation where there are the execution conditions of certain identical operations, with the same duration and structure, in which case the running time of the performer and the means of production will be identical. Serving multiple machines finds application in all industrial …
The integration of information technologies in the knowledge based organizations
2016
Relations between the users' expertise, complexity of tasks to be solved by knowledge-based organizations and mission of smart information systems, is a multi-dimensional structure that should provide the necessary conceptual framework of sustainable integrated smart development. The users of smart information systems face a variety of problems, such as: system access, data recovery, identifying and retrieving a specific document and its contents, and difficulties associated with understanding and interpreting of the used system on stages and methods following to be used, respectively problems on understanding the meaning of information provided. Using smart information systems and smart da…
Elaboration of a Critical Paradigm for Interpreting Modern Architecture: The Almost Intangible Essence of Luigi Moretti's Casa del Balilla at Trecate
2021
Modern architecture is not, from a lexical point of view, uniquely definable. The heterogeneity of the twentieth century heritage is therefore a collective wealth that should be protected from the risk of falling into oblivion. In order to avoid this, it could prove fundamental to establish a process of the knowledge of these assets. This should not, however, result in a simple and passive recording of architectural facts: a deep understanding of the complexity of modern architecture, which has as its objective the protection of buildings, could be obtained, for example, through a real and proper decoding of signs, conducted by a critical use of the metalanguage most congenial to the archit…
Optimal Adaptive Inspection Planning Process in Service of Fatigued Aircraft Structures
2009
In this paper, a control theory is used for planning inspections in service of fatigue-sensitive aircraft structure components under crack propagation. One of the most important features of control theory is its great generality, enabling one to analyze diverse systems within one unified framework. A key idea, which has emerged from this study, is the necessity of viewing the process of planning in-service inspections as an adaptive control process. Adaptation means the ability of self-modification and self-adjustment in accordance with varying conditions of environment. The adaptive control of inspection planning process in service of fatigued aircraft structures differs from ordinary stoc…
Dialog Structure Automatic Modeling
2010
This paper presents the approach implemented as part of a conversational bot named WIH (Word Intelligent Handler). It has a complex architecture with several components. Some of them are the ER-memory, EP-memory and other minor modules that provide the prototype of good modeling of Spanish sentences. They constitute the knowledge-representation mechanism that is used by WIH to build automatic answers during dialogs with humans. In this paper a small description of these components and some of its interaction is given, along with test cases and a statistical analysis of the results obtained. It is shown here that WIH prototype can adapt its behavior and learning rate of its internal working …
Attraversare
2016
L'articolo propone alcune riflessioni sul concetto di "attraversamento dell'architettura" tramite l'implicazione delle arti visuali e del teatro danza. In particolare, è stata approfondito tale concetto realizzando un "attraversamento" della concatenazione spaziale di Palazzo Riso, Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Palermo, filtrando lo spazio con la scansione temporale della danza. La performance di teatro danza prende avvio in un precedente momento architettonico, cioè nella Piazza Bologni, che costituisce una delle due estremità del percorso teatrale-spaziale. La piazza costituisce il momento della riflessione, dall'esterno verso l’interno, di una serie di avvenimenti attraverso i quali pren…
Domain Expert Platform for Goal-Oriented Dialog Collection
2021
Today, most dialogue systems are fully or partly built using neural network architectures. A crucial prerequisite for the creation of a goal-oriented neural network dialogue system is a dataset that represents typical dialogue scenarios and includes various semantic annotations, e.g. intents, slots and dialogue actions, that are necessary for training a particular neural network architecture. In this demonstration paper, we present an easy to use interface and its back-end which is oriented to domain experts for the collection of goal-oriented dialogue samples. The platform not only allows to collect or write sample dialogues in a structured way, but also provides a means for simple annotat…
Using Hierarchies to Adapt Domain Analysis to Software Development
2001
Software development strives toward increasing the amount and quality of the software and at the same time decreasing the costs and development time. One approach to achieve these diverse goals is the systematic software reuse (Biggerstaff and Richter, 1987). In the reuse-oriented software development the key success factor is domain analysis (DA) (Arango, 1989; Lam and McDermid, 1997; Prieto-Diaz, 1994). DA is a process through which information used in software development is identified, captured, and organized with the purpose of making it reusable when creating new systems (Prieto-Diaz, 1990). While the traditional development methods (e.g., Jaaksi et al.,1999; Jacobson et al., 1999) fo…
Effects of reduced irradiance on hydraulic architecture and water relations of two olive clones with different growth potentials
2009
Abstract The hydraulic architecture and water relations of two olive genotypes, ‘Leccino Dwarf’ (LD) and ‘Leccino Minerva’ (LM) growing at two irradiance levels i.e. full sunlight irradiance (HI) and 50% sunlight irradiance (LI) were studied. The two clones showed similar plant hydraulic conductances (Kplant) and similar conductance of roots and leaves (Kroot and Kleaf) when growing at equal irradiance levels. However, both Kplant and Kroot were significantly lower in LI plants than in HI ones. On the contrary, Kleaf was unaffected by the light regime. One-year-old twigs of LI plants produced longer xylem conduits but lower average diameter of conduits and less conduits per unit xylem cross…
An architecture for automatic gesture analysis
2000
The field of human-computer interaction has been widely investigated in the last years, resulting in a variety of systems used in different application fields like virtual reality simulation environments, software user interfaces, and digital library systems.A very crucial part of all these systems is the input module which is devoted to recognize the human operator in terms of tracking and/or recognition of human face, arms position, hand gestures, and so on.In this work a software architecture is presented, for the automatic recognition of human arms poses. Our research has been carried on in the robotics framework. A mobile robot that has to find its path to the goal in a partially struc…
