Scalable framework for blockchain-based shared manufacturing

Shared Manufacturing is a new mode of social manufacturing based on the principles of a sharing economy. This paper presents a scalable framework for blockchain-based Shared Manufacturing that preserves the transparency and immutability characteristics of transaction records, which is critical to building trust between entities in blockchain-based systems. We define a blockchain-based protocol for the service execution according to the design principles of the sharing economy. We present a scalable integration of blockchain technology into the concept of Shared Manufacturing by employing cross-chain solutions. We discuss existing cross chain technologies regarding the requirements of Shared Manufacturing and propose hybrid approach. We compare implementations of the proposed framework on two different blockchain networks: Ethereum public network and Xdai sidechain network. We conduct user-oriented test to explore the performance (cost and time) of the implementations in realistic situations in order to justify the use of the sidechain technology. Results indicate that the implementation on the sidechains provides greater scalability than the implementation on the public blockchain network.     

A Polynomial Algorithm for Computing Elementary Siphons in a Class of Petri Nets

A set of elementary siphons plays a key role in the development of deadlock prevention policies for automated manufacturing systems. This paper addresses the computation problem for elementary siphons in a subclass of Petri nets which are basic systems of simple sequential processes with resources (BS³PR) and can model many automated manufacturing systems. An algorithm for enumerating elementary siphons is established by the one‐to‐one relationship between maximal perfect resource‐transition circuits (MPCs) and strict minimal siphons. A set of MPCs is first computed, followed by a set of elementary siphons in a BS³PR. The presented algorithm is proved to have polynomial‐time complexity. An example is used to illustrate the algorithm.     

Group technology based adaptive cell formation using predator-prey genetic algorithm

In recent years, there has been a considerable growth of application of group technology in cellular manufacturing. This has led to investigation of the primary cell formation problem (CFP), both in classical and soft-computing domain. Compared to more well-known and analytical techniques like mathematical programming which have been used rigorously to solve CFPs, heuristic approaches have yet gained the same level of acceptance. In the last decade we have seen some fruitful attempts to use evolutionary techniques like genetic algorithm (GA) and Ant Colony Optimization to find solutions of the CFP. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of a fine grain variant of the predator-prey GA (PPGA) in CFPs. The algorithm has been adapted to emphasize local selection strategy and to maintain a reasonable balance between prey and predator population, while avoiding premature convergence. The results show that the algorithm is competitive in identifying machine-part clusters from the initial CFP matrix with significantly less number of iterations. The algorithm scaled efficiently for large size problems with competitive performance. Optimal cluster identification is then followed by removal of the bottleneck elements to give a final solution with minimum inter-cluster transition cost. The results give considerable impetus to study similar NP-complete combinatorial problems using fine-grain GAs in future.     

雷达模拟器目标威胁度评估方法研究

研究雷达模拟器目标威胁度的准确评估问题,是辅助操作手对空中目标进行打击的重要依据.威胁度普通雷达是难以探测的.由于目标的速度、距离等随机性强,具体数据难以确定.针对威胁度评估问题,多限于权重分析、聚类分析等方法,对难以确定的参数有较大依赖.为解决上述问题,提出应用效能指数的方法来确定未知目标对雷达阵地的威胁度,根据雷达能够获取的数据,得出判断矩阵,实现对雷达所测数据的分析,并评估目标的威胁度.上述方法可用于雷达模拟器,能够灵活地根据情况调整威胁度评估方法.实验结果表明,方法能够较好地在某些属性未知的情况下,可对目标威胁度进行准确评估,证明改进方法为威胁度评估提供了有效依据.
