  • In this paper, we show an application of constraint logic programming to the operation scheduling on machines in a job shop. Constraint logic programming is a new genre of programming technique combining the declarative aspect of logic programming with the efficiency of constraint manipulation and solving mechanisms. Due to the latter feature, combinatorial search problems like scheduling may be resolved efficiently. In this study, the jobs that consist of a set of related operations are supposed to be constrained by precedence and resource availability. We also explore how the constraint solving mechanisms can be defined over a scheduling domain. Thus the scheduling approach presented here has two benefits: the flexibility that can be expected from an artificial intelligence tool by simplifying greatly the problem; and the efficiency that stems from the capability of constraint logic programming to manipulate constraints to prune the search space in an a priori manner.

  • An intrusion can be defined as any set of actors that attempt to compromise the integrity, confidentiality and availability of computer resource and destroy the security policy of computer system. The Intrusion Detection System that detects the intrusion consists of data collection, data reduction, analysis and detection, and report and response. It is important for feature selection to detect the intrusion efficiently after collecting the large set of data of Intrusion Detection System. In this paper, the feature selection method using Genetic Algorithm and Decision Tree is proposed. Also the method is verified by the simulation with KDD data.

  • Many innovative management processes, which are also termed as best practices or value improving practice, have been proven to successfully improve the value of capital facility projects. With a lack of any guidance on how to implement the most suitable value management process for a particular project, the objective of this paper is to facilitate the VMP implementation. A CII (Construction Industry Institute)'s recent study, titled as 'Development of the Value Management Toolkit,' encompasses a comprehensive structure of value management and provides a new methodology in optimizing the implementation of the value management processes in order to leverage the unique project circumstances, such as project objectives, resource availability, and site limitations, etc. As a pioneering study, the findings contribute to the expedition of implementing value management processes in the industry and maximize the potential benefits in applying the most benefiical value management process for a particular capital facility project.

  • Data on available feed resources, feeding practices and nutrient adequacy of rations under small farm conditions in Sri Lanka were obtained in a baseline survey involving 104 pig farms. The results showed that a wide range of non-conventional feedstuffs are used for pig feeding under typical small farm conditions and that dietary protein quality is a major factor limiting productivity. Following the survey, two on-farm trials were conducted to evaluate cheaper, alternative feeding strategies. In trial 1, a test diet was formulated using several non-conventional feedstuffs and compared with a commercial feed that is normally fed in the farms. In trial 2, the possibility of improving growth rates by amino acid supplementation was evaluated. The results demonstrated that feed costs can be considerably lowered through these packages. Some problems inherent to on-farm livestock trials are highlighted.

  • Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are self-organized networks that typically consist of thousands of low-cost, low-powered sensor nodes. The reliability and availability of WSNs can be affected by faults, including those from radio interference, battery exhaustion, hardware and software failures, communication link errors, malicious attacks, and so on. Thus, we propose a novel multi-agent fault tolerant system for wireless sensor networks. Since a major requirement of WSNs is to reduce energy consumption, we use multi-agent and mobile agent configurations to manage WSNs that provide energy-efficient services. Mobile agent architecture have inherent advantages in that they provide energy awareness, scalability, reliability, and extensibility. Our multi-agent system consists of a resource manager, a fault tolerance manager and a load balancing manager, and we also propose fault-tolerant protocols that use multi-agent and mobile agent setups.

  • In the last decade, rapid developments in molecular biotechnology and of genomic tools have enabled the creation of dense linkage maps across whole genomes of human, plant and animals. Successful development and implementation of interval mapping methodologies have allowed detection of the quantitative trait loci (QTL) responsible for economically important traits in experimental and commercial livestock populations. The candidate gene approach can be used in any general population with the availability of a large resource of candidate genes from the human or rodent genomes using comparative maps, and the validated candidate genes can be directly applied to commercial breeds. For the QTL detected from primary genome scans, two incipient fine mapping approaches are applied by generating new recombinants over several generations or utilizing historical recombinants with identity-by-descent (IBD) and linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping. The high resolution definition of QTL position from fine mapping will allow the more efficient implementation of breeding programs such as marker-assisted selection (MAS) or marker-assisted introgression (MAI), and will provide a route toward cloning the QTL.

  • Purpose - This work aims to study the existing management process and methods of statistical evaluation of personnel mobility management, and propose improvement measures. This is particularly relevant in today's market economy because proper organization of personnel movement affects the availability and effective utilization of human resources in enterprises. Hence, it influences the volume, timely execution of work, equipment efficiency, and consequently the volume of production, its cost, profit, and other economic indicators. Research design, data, and methodology - We investigate the indicators that measure staff mobility, and their dependent consequences. Further, it analyses the factors influencing high staff turnover, which is a main indicator of staff mobility. Results - Measures for staff mobility development and prevention of turnover are proposed. Micom Systems is a sample case that has developed special programs to reduce staff turnover. Conclusions - Staff mobility leads to additional costs, significant loss of working time, and increase in defects. However, the advantages of staff mobility outweigh these negative factors. The role of staff mobility in a market economy cannot be overestimated.

  • Due to the widespread availability of the internet, large-scale and dynamic distributed projects in industry are becoming popular. We present a distributed, collaborative, and adaptive control approach for decentralized multiple projects, which is one of representative project environments in modern e-enterprises. In this paper we deal with short term scheduling and rescheduling of resources, which are shared by multiple projects. We in specific, address the dynamic nature of the situation. We model this as a dynamic economy, where the multiple local markets are established and cleared over time trading resource time slots(goods). Local markets are modeled using a combinatorial auction mechanism. Due to the dynamic and distributed nature of economy, through our approach we can achieve higher levels of flexibility, scalability and adaptability.
