This book explores an emerging demand related to digital transformation to design a strategic and sound roadmap leading from I3.0 to the appropriate maturity level of I4.0. The roadmap results from a system design process, moving from a product-dominant stage to a service-dominant proposition. Therefore, this book questions the efficiency of conventional design methods for this purpose, proposing their replacement for other goal-oriented methods, especially in the early steps, where strategic decisions are required. The proposed approach comprises Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) and Goal-oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) in a design cycle centered on digital documentation, an essential issue in modern design. This book intends to bring researchers and practitioners together toward a joint approach where formal methods can fit practical problems, and practical problems generate insights that can be useful, especially in the requirements modeling stage.

This book aims to inspire readers and designers to build successful collaborations in personal and professional environments. Systems, including human participants, must collaborate effectively to integrate their strengths. We explore how, in the age of AI, robotics, and intelligent agents, we can design systems that enhance our lives rather than confuse or endanger us. Developments in collaborative control theory (CCT) and e-work systems have led to "collaboratives" in education, production, business, services, medical imaging, smartphones, gaming, human-robot assembly, supply chains, and GPS navigation. Collaboratives share activities, responsibilities, and resources. How can we ensure their success and benefits? Beyond human-automation interactions, collaborative automation impacts dynamics among humans, robots, and enterprises. Over 40 years of research have led to 14 principles for effective collaboration, along with protocols, algorithms, and platforms.

1 486 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Mismatch or best match? This book demonstrates that best matching of individual entities to each other is essential to ensure smooth conduct and successful competitiveness in any distributed system, natural and artificial. Interactions must be optimized through best matching in planning and scheduling, enterprise network design, transportation and construction planning, recruitment, problem solving, selective assembly, team formation, sensor network design, and more. Fundamentals of best matching in distributed and collaborative systems are explained by providing:§ Methodical analysis of various multidimensional best matching processes § Comprehensive taxonomy, comparing different best matching problems and processes§ Systematic identification of systems’ hierarchy, nature of interactions, and distribution of decision-making and control functions § Practical formulation of solutions based on a library of best matching algorithms and protocols, ready for direct applications and apps development.Designed for both academics and practitioners, oriented to systems engineers and applied operations researchers, diverse types of best matching processes are explained in production, manufacturing, business and service, based on a new reference model developed at Purdue University PRISM Center: “The PRISM Taxonomy of Best Matching”. The book concludes with major challenges and guidelines for future basic and applied research in the area of best matching.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This is a book about how management and control decisions are made by persons who collaborate and possibly use the support of an information system. The decision is the result of human conscious activities aiming at choosing a course of action for attaining a certain objective (or a set of objectives). The act of collaboration implies that several entities who work together and share responsibilities to jointly plan, implement and evaluate a program of activities to achieve the common goals. The book is intended to present a balanced view of the domain to include both well-established concepts and a selection of new results in the domains of methods and key technologies. It is meant to answer several questions, such as: a) “How are evolving the business models towards the ever more collaborative schemes?”; b) “What is the role of the decision-maker in the new context?” c) “What are the basic attributes and trends in the domain of decision-supporting information systems?”; d) “Which are the basic methods to aggregate the individual preferences?” e)“What is the impact of modern information and communication technologies on the design and usage of decision support systems for groups of people?”.

Resilience by Teaming in Supply Chains and Networks
Inbunden, Engelska, 2017
1 066 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Real-world supply chains and networks are inherently complex, formed by a large number of self-governing interconnected agents which dynamically update their behavior rules and connections based on context and environment changes. Oftentimes, these complex systems fail, almost inexplicably, due to unforeseen events leading to disruption. Exploration and research of the mechanisms behind the failure of supply chains and networks have revealed that those capable of surviving are not only robust, but resilient. The purpose of this book is to explain the meaning of resilience and its design in the broad context, and with a focus on the design and management of supply chains and supply networks. Written by Dr. Reyes Levalle, an experienced supply chains designer and supply networks engineer, the book is intended for beginners and advanced professionals, students, designers, policy makers, and managers. It is a pioneering effort to base resilience engineering and management on CCT, the collaborative control theory and tools.
