With the advent of technology, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are being deployed for real-time path planning to provide support to evacuation teams. However, their dependency on expert human pilots for command and control limits their operational capacity to the line-of-sight range. In this paper, we utilize a Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithm to autonomously control multiple UAVs for area coverage. The objective is to identify serviceable paths for safe navigation of waterborne evacuation vehicles (WBVs) to reach critical location(s) during floods. The UAVs are tasked to capture the obstacle-related data and identify shallow water regions for unrestricted motion of the WBV(s). The data gathered by UAVs is used by the Minimum expansion A* (MEA*) algorithm for path planning to assist WBV(s). MEA* addresses the node expansion issue with the standard A* algorithm, by pruning the unserviceable nodes/locations based on the captured information, hence expediting the path planning process. The proposed approach, MEA*MADDPG, is compared with other prevalent techniques from the literature over simulated flood environments with moving obstacles. The results highlight the significance of the proposed model as it outperforms other techniques when compared over various performance metrics.","PeriodicalId":54856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141821871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the complexity of this process, advanced sensing is increasingly employed to facilitate system visibility, leading to a large amount of high-dimensional and complex-structured data. While deep learning brings attractive characteristics for data-driven process monitoring and quality prediction, it is currently limited in the ability to assimilate engineering knowledge and offer model interpretability for understanding process-quality relationships. In addition, due to spatiotemporal correlations in AM, a melt-pool anomaly observed during the manufacturing process is not always indicative of abnormal quality characteristics. There is a pressing need to go beyond pointwise analysis of melt pools and consider spatiotemporal effects for quality analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel feature learning framework guided by engineering knowledge for AM quality monitoring. First, engineering knowledge is integrated with deep learning to delineate various sources of process variations and extract melt-pool features that reflect quality-related relationships. Second, a 3D neighborhood model is designed to characterize spatiotemporal variations of melt pools based on their domain-informed features. The resulting 3D neighborhood profiles enable us to go beyond pointwise analysis of melt pools for capturing process-quality relationships. Finally, we built a regression model to predict internal density variations using 3D neighborhood profiles. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly outperforms traditional hand-crafted method and black-box learning in both the ability to provide quality-related features and predict internal density variations.","PeriodicalId":54856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141822325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this has not happened yet. Seeking for a sufficing explanation, this paper reviews the current literature and makes an attempt to cast light on the most significant recent developments in the field of NG-CPSs. The main assumptions of the authors are that research and education should appear in harmony in academic knowledge acquisition and distribution processes, and that academic education of NG-CPSs should be organized and conducted according to a defendable future vision. Combining the results of a broadly-based study of the literature with prognostic critical thinking and personal experiences, this review-based position paper first discusses the current socio-techno-scientific environment, the involved stakeholders, and the demands and two approaches of truly systems-oriented education. Then, it concentrates on the recognized limitations of mono- and interdisciplinary research, and on supradisciplinary approach and transdisciplinary knowledge generation for NG-CPSs.

These data are commonly distributed and stored in different business units or cooperative companies. Such data-rich environments increase the likelihood of cyber attacks, privacy breaches, and security violations. Also, this poses significant challenges on developing machine learning models on sensitive data that are distributed among different business units. To fill this gap, this paper presents a novel privacy-preserving framework to enable federated learning on siloed and encrypted data for smart manufacturing. Specifically, we leverage fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to allow for computation on ciphertexts and generate encrypted results which, when decrypted, match the results of mathematical operations performed on the plaintexts. Multi-layer encryption and privacy protection reduce the likelihood of data breaches while maintaining the prediction performance of machine learning models. Experimental results in real-world case studies show that the proposed framework yields superior performance to reduce the risk of cyber attacks and harness siloed data for smart manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":54856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141117916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To secure the geometric quality of the assembled products, variation simulation is performed to control compliance with the set geometric requirements. In non-rigid variation simulation, contact modeling is used to avoid the virtual penetration of the components in the adjacent areas, enhancing the simulation accuracy. For frictionless contact models, numerical errors and convergence issues due to the deformation behavior of the interacting surfaces are still limiting the computational efficiency of solving this optimization problem. The optimization problem associated with a contact model is often large-scale, and in practice, fast and robust methods for achieving convergence are required. Previous implementations of contact modeling for non-rigid variation simulation have been prominently based on the Iterative or Penalty Methods. In this paper, a quadratic programming approach has been introduced, based on the Lagrangian multiplier method, for robust contact modeling in non-rigid variation simulation, and the performance of the proposed approach has been compared to the previously applied Iterative and Interior Point Method. The methods have been compared on three industrial reference cases, and the convergence and time-efficiency of each method are compared. The results show that robust optimization of the quadratic program associated with the contact model is highly dependent on the reduced stiffness matrix condition. Furthermore, it has been shown that robust and efficient contact modeling in non-rigid variation simulation is achievable through the proposed quadratic programming method.","PeriodicalId":54856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141117851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, cooperative RAM suffers from the same defect generation challenges as conventional systems, necessitating improvements in the detection and prevention of flaws within fabricated components. Quality assurance can be further bolstered through the integration of AM models, which utilize sensor feedback to localize defects, vastly reducing false positives. This research explores defect localization through a novel dynamic defect model created from simulated sensing data. In particular, two cooperative robots are simulated to estimate defect parameters, while observing the workspace and accurately classifying different regions of the part, generating a Gaussian mixture map that identifies and assigns appropriate actions based on defect types and characteristics. The experimental result shows that implementation of the dynamic defect model and selective reevaluation achieved an effective defect detection accuracy of 99.9%, an improvement of 9.9% without localization. The proposed framework holds potential for application in domains that utilize high degrees of freedom machines and collaborative agents, offering scalability, improved fabrication speeds, and enhanced mechanical properties.","PeriodicalId":54856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140976637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

USVs are designed to undertake critical and extended missions, often in extreme conditions, without human intervention. This makes the USVs susceptible to equipment malfunction, which increases the probability of system failure during mission execution. In fact, in the absence of any crew onboard, system failure during a mission can create a great inconvenience for the concerned stakeholders, which compels them to design highly reliable USVs that must have integrated intelligent PHM systems onboard. To improve mission reliability and health management of USVs, researchers have been investigating and proposing PHM-based tools or frameworks that are claimed to operate in real time. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the existing literature on recent developments in PHM-related studies in the context of USVs. It covers a broad perspective of PHM on USVs, including system simulation, sensor data, data assimilation, data fusion, advancements in diagnosis and prognosis studies, and health management. After reviewing the literature, this study summarizes the lessons learned, identifies current gaps, and proposes a new system-level framework for developing a hybrid (offline-online) optimization-based PHM system for USVs in order to overcome some of the existing challenges.","PeriodicalId":54856,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140998279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A relational database is a useful tool to store such AM data in a key-value manner and streamline data retrieval. Users can specify the value of one AM variable or key and retrieve the corresponding record values of another key. This establishes the correlations between AM variables, and supports applications such as process planning. Nonetheless, such an operation is a “hard” query, which lacks reasoning capabilities and fails to provide useful information when required records are missing. It is urgent to develop a more powerful AM database to handle AM data better, which should support “soft” queries, be scalable to high-dimensional data, and maintain flexible query functionality among multiple keys. In this paper, we upgrade an AM database with probabilistic modeling and transformation-invariant feature learning, which is termed as a probabilistic AM database (PAMDB). The PAMDB allows the selection of any key as a query key, or even multiple keys as query keys, to retrieve the values of other keys, which is adapted to unseen, high-dimensional, and multi-modal AM data. Two case studies were conducted for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and vat photopolymerization (VP).
