Authors attempt to make connectivity among structure, reservoir and production data dimensions and their attributes through their common data instances. In other words, integration is done by mapping and modelling of conceptually (more logically) interpreted relationships among multidimensional inter-dependent data instances of structures (including reservoirs) and attributes through their similar data property instances (and or dissimilar) that are described from different fracture systems. As an example, data mining procedures, if can forecast and separate out the rock stress data patterns of shale-prone environments, so that driller or well planner can identify or plan in advance the types of fracture systems that are being drilled. The proposed methodology is robust and can resolve issues relevant to deviation and smart drilling in the fractured reservoir systems. Ontology based multidimensional data warehousing and mining can integrate and make connectivity among varying common and conceptualized relationships, associated with structure, reservoir and production data that describe their complexity in shale-gas environments. If the proposed methodology is successful, it can be applied in any basin not only for conventional reservoir ecosystems, but fractured including tight-gas and gas-hydrate systems worldwide.","PeriodicalId":378407,"journal":{"name":"2011 9th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129502518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This failure renders the casting invalid, with the subsequent cost increment. Modelling the foundry process as an expert knowledge cloud allows machine learning algorithms to foresee the value of a certain variable, in this case, the probability that a microshrin-kage appears within a casting. However, this approach needs to label every instance for generating the model that can classify the castings. In this paper, we present a new approach for detecting faulty castings inspired on anomaly detection methods. This approach represents correct castings as feature vectors of information extracted from the foundry process. Thereby, a casting is classified as correct or not correct by measuring its deviation to the representation of normality (i.e., correct castings). We show that this method achieves good accuracy rates to reduce the cost and testing time in foundry production.","PeriodicalId":378407,"journal":{"name":"2011 9th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128017399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method provides the IEC 61499 designer with an intuitive way of expressing system properties and also makes the verification result easier to map to the original design. We have implemented two different algorithms, a tableau based CTL model checker and a reachability analyzer, to support the verification of observers.

In that case, rescheduling as a self-adaption function of the system is necessary for generating a new schedule, regarding the current state of the production system. This rescheduling process is time critical and normally requires real time solutions. In this paper we present a rescheduling approach with offline self-learning and online self-decision-making abilities. It solves the rescheduling problem of flexible flow shops (FFS) with unrelated parallel machines. The optimality criterion is the makespan. The approach uses a centralized heuristic to guarantee the generation of active schedules. In addition, it integrates a decentralized knowledge-based decision making system in the heuristic. This decision making system can learn from previous scheduling problems and their schedules. Consequently, it uses the obtained knowledge to dynamically select the most appropriate dispatching rule for scheduling the production, depending on the current system state. Computational results show that the proposed approach is superior to only using one single dispatching rule constantly. Furthermore, due to its efficient runtime the approach is suitable for real time applications.","PeriodicalId":378407,"journal":{"name":"2011 9th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125491717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The characteristics of comic images were analyzed to determine the effect of digital watermarking on the line shapes. Modification of the shape edges by conventional watermarking methods can degrade image quality because the human eye is sensitive to the edges. The analysis revealed that slight changes in the black pixels in a comic image are barely perceived by the human eye when the image is displayed on a tablet PC. A method was then developed for embedding watermarks that minimizes modification of the white pixels compared to modification of the black ones. Experimental evaluation showed that this method improves the quality of watermarked grayscale comic images. Watermark robustness was almost the same as that with the conventional method in an assumed use case.","PeriodicalId":378407,"journal":{"name":"2011 9th IEEE International Conference on Industrial Informatics","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131936340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This growing process is environment-dependent: a cell receives signals from its surroundings, which significantly influence its activities. This results in a mature organism that is adapted to a complex environment in spite of the initial simplicity. This paper discusses a logistic execution system in which the self-organizing behavior is inspired by this natural process. The mechanisms for the self-organizing activities remain simple whereas the research focuses on providing a suitable environment to achieve and/or guarantee the desirable overall behavior and performance. The paper thus presents an approach for the engineering of self-organized systems. This approach however is only applicable when the world-of-interest involves the allocation and utilization of macroscopic physical resources (e.g. logistics, manufacturing, traffic).
