The qualities of the products produced by injection molding are strongly influenced by the process variables of the injection molding machine set by the engineer. It is very difficult to predict the qualities of the injection molded product considering the stochastic nature of the manufacturing process, since the processing conditions have a complex impact on the quality of the injection molded product. It is recognized that the artificial neural network(ANN) is capable of mapping the intricate relationship between the input and output variables very accurately, therefore, many studies are being conducted to predict the relationship between the results of the product and the process variables using ANN. However in the condition of a small number of data sets, the predicting performance and robustness of the ANN model could be reduced due to too many input variables. In the present study, the ANN model that predicts the length of the injection molded product for multiple combinations of process variables was developed. And the accuracy of each ANN model was compared for 8 process variables and 4 important process inputs that were determined by the feature selection. Based on the comparison, it was verified that the performance of the ANN model increased when only 4 important variables were applied.

A geometrical description method is proposed to represent the process of the forward selection and backward elimination methods among many variable selection methods for multiple regression models. This graphical method shows the process of the forward selection and backward elimination on the first and second quadrants, respectively, of half circle with a unit radius. At each step, the SSR is represented by the norm of vector and the extra SSR or partial determinant coefficient is represented by the angle between two vectors. Some lines are dotted when the partial F test results are statistically significant, so that statistical analysis could be explored. This geometrical description can be obtained the final regression models based on the forward selection and backward elimination methods. And the goodness-of-fit for the model could be explored.

As consumer's desire becomes various, agility of mold manufacturing is most important factor for competence of manufacturer. In common works to use commercial CAM system to generate tool path, some decision making process is required to produce optimal result of CAM systems, The paper proposes a methodology for computer-assisted tool selection procedures for various cutting type, such as rough, semi-rough and finish cuts. The system provides assist-tool-items for machining of design model part of injection meld die by analyzing sliced CAD model of die cavity and core. Also, the generating NC-code of the tool size is used to calculate machining time. The system is developed with commercial CAM using API. This module will be used for optimization of tool selection and planning process.

Regression testing is a very costly process performed primarily as a software maintenance activity. It is the process of retesting the modified parts of the software and ensuring that no new errors have been introduced into previously tested source code due to these modifications. A regression test selection technique selects an appropriate number of test cases from a test suite that might expose a fault in the modified program. In this paper, we propose both a regression test selection and prioritization technique. We implemented our regression test selection technique and demonstrated in two case studies that our technique is effective regarding selecting and prioritizing test cases. The results show that our technique may significantly reduce the number of test cases and thus the cost and resources for performing regression testing on modified software.

The Diagnostic Unit of CLINAID can infer working diagnoses for general diseases from the information provided by a user. This user-provided information in the form of signs and symptoms, however, is usually not sufficient to make a final decision on a working diagnosis. In order for the Diagnostic Unit to reach a diagnostic conclusion, it needs to select suitable clinical investigations for the patients. Because different investigations can be selected for the same patient, we need a process that can optimize the selection procedure employed by the Diagnostic Unit. This process, called a selection algorithm, must work with the fuzzy relational method because CLINAID uses fuzzy relational structures extensively for its knowledge bases and inference mechanism. In this paper we present steps of the selection algorithm along with simulation results on this algorithm using fuzzy relational products, both harsh product and mean product. The computation results of applying several different fuzzy implication operators are compared and analyzed.

Nowadays, many organizations more increasingly show their interests in developing informations systems through not only in-house development but outsourcing. Selecting a proper information system developer, however, is not easy task partly due to the absence of evaluation criteria pertinent to explain the pros and cons of information system developers considered. Further, much care should be taken of choosing an appropriate decision method applicable to semi-structured or strategical decision making problems such as selection of information system developer even though evaluation criteria are well provided. The purpose of this paper is to provide for the selection process, ranging from identification of problem structure to solution method, of information system developer with the use of Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP).

In process planning for 3D pocket machining, the critical issues for the optimal process planning are the generation of cutting layers and the tool selection for each cutting layers as well as the other factors such as the determination of machining types, tool path, etc. This paper describes the optimal tool selection on a single cutting layer for 2D pocket machining, the generation of cutting layers for 3D pocket machining, the determination of the thickness of each cutting layers, the determination of the tool combinations for each cutting layers and also the development of an algorithm for determining the machining sequence which reduces the number of tool exchanges, which are based on the backward approach. The branch and bound method is applied to select the optimal tools for each cutting layer, and an algorithmic procedure is developed to determine the machining sequence consisting of the pairs of the cutting layers and cutting tools to be used in the same operation.

This paper is concerned with the economic selection of both the lower limit and the process mean for a continuous production process. Consider a production process where items are produced continuously. All of the items are subject to acceptance inspection. The items for which the measured values of the quality characteristic are larger than the lower limit are accepted, and those smaller than the lower limit are rejected and excluded from shipment. The process mean may be set higher to reduce the costs incurred by imperfect quality. Using a higher process mean, however, results in a higher production cost when production cost is an increasing function of the quality characteristic. Assuming that the quality characteristic is normally distributed with known variability, cost models are constructed which involve production cost, cost incurred by imperfect quality, rejection cost, and inspection cost. Methods of finding optimal values of the lower limit and the process mean are presented and numerical examples are given.

In addition, this paper proposes comprehensive approach for solving mobile banking technology platform selection problem. To serve the purpose, this paper uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to select best mobile banking technology platform for not only in functionality aspect, but also in organizational aspect. We expect that the results of this study will be useful for banks who have intention to select mobile banking technology platform in the future.

A three-step screening process is presented in this article for selection of consistent earthquake records in which number of suitable ground motions is quickly screened and reduced to a handful number. Records that remain at the end of this screening process considerably reduce the dispersion of structural responses. Then, an effective method is presented for spectral matching and modification of the selected records. Dispersion of structural responses is explored using different statistical measures for each scaling procedure. It is shown that the Uniform Design Method, presented in this study for scaling of earthquake records, results in most cases in the least dispersion measure.
