This document discusses optimizing facility layout through simulation. It begins by introducing the research goals, which include developing a simulation model of a manufacturing system using Arena software, analyzing system behavior under different conditions, identifying problems, and suggesting improvements. The document then provides details on the data collection and analysis methods used to build an accurate simulation model. Primary, secondary, and tertiary data were gathered on factors like processing times and resource availability. The document explains how Arena was used to create a model of the manufacturing system and analyze key performance indicators. The overall aim was to evaluate different layout options and identify ways to optimize efficiency and productivity.
Improving layout and workload of manufacturing system using Delmia Quest simu...AM Publications
This paper describes a case study of analysis and optimization of the facility layout in a manufacturing cell
using a systematic search method and a Quest computer simulation model with graphical representation of the
manufacturing processes. The simulation model objective was to obtain Layout design to achieve a high productivity in the
flexible manufacturing system (FMS), to determine bottleneck locations and what the optimal batch size should be. The
Quest software proved to be a powerful tool in assessing what changes should be made to a manufacturing cell before
incurring manufacturing improvements and/or performing actual capital investments. The aim of this study is to get
an understanding of the cell and its behaviour regarding production and to use the simulation software to change,
analyse and improve the cell.
Virtual Commissioning of Small to Medium Scale Industry Using the Concepts of...IJERA Editor
Small scale industries produce certain products depending on the type of industry they have established. If these small scale industries decide to become medium scale certain changes have to be incorporated in plant layout to meet certain requirements. Certain changes include change in layout design, introducing new machines and equipments in the industry in order to produce new component .To implement these changes in the company we have to get information regarding the new component the company would produce based on this information we have design new plant layout. The purpose of this project is to plan a suitable plant layout which could meet company requirement. To design a new plant layout we are using Delmia as the simulation software. DELMIA Production System Simulation allows the process planner to validate the manufacturing system dynamically. Product flow and operation time, as well as scheduled maintenance and random equipment failure events, are simulated to help the planner understand how they will impact the system’s capacity. Process planners can determine if changes to the system are needed to achieve the desired production demands.

Software plays a critical role in businesses, governments, and societies. To improve
performance and quality of the software are important goals of software engineering. Mining
data has recently emerged as a promising means to meet this goal due to two main trends:
The increasing abundance of such data and its demonstrated helpfulness in solving numerous
real-world problems. Poor performance costs the software industry millions of money
annually in the form of lost revenue, hardware costs, damaged customer relations and
decreased productivity. Performance analysis and evaluation through data mining technique
will result performance improvement suggestions for software developers.

Test Case Optimization and Redundancy Reduction Using GA and Neural Networks IJECEIAES
More than 50% of software development effort is spent in testing phase in a typical software development project. Test case design as well as execution consume a lot of time. Hence, automated generation of test cases is highly required. Here a novel testing methodology is being presented to test objectoriented software based on UML state chart diagrams. In this approach, function minimization technique is being applied and generate test cases automatically from UML state chart diagrams. Software testing forms an integral part of the software development life cycle. Since the objective of testing is to ensure the conformity of an application to its specification, a test “oracle” is needed to determine whether a given test case exposes a fault or not. An automated oracle to support the activities of human testers can reduce the actual cost of the testing process and the related maintenance costs. In this paper, a new concept is being presented using an UML state chart diagram and tables for the test case generation, artificial neural network as an optimization tool for reducing the redundancy in the test case generated using the genetic algorithm. A neural network is trained by the backpropagation algorithm on a set of test cases applied to the original version of the system.
A GUI-driven prototype for synthesizing self-adaptation decisionjournalBEEI
The ability to ensure an optimal decision is significant for self-adaptive systems especially when dealing with uncertainty. For this reason, a synthesis-driven approach can be used to capture and synthesize a decision that aims to satisfy the multi-objective properties. Assessing the quality of the synthesis-driven approach is challenging, since it involves a set of activities from modeling, simulating, and analyzing the outcomes. This paper presents the design and implementation of a graphical user interface (GUI)-based prototype for assessing synthesis outcome and performance of an adaptation decision. The prototype is designed and developed based on the component-based development approach that is able to integrate the existing and related libraries from PRISM-games model checker for the synthesis engine, JFreeChart libraries for the chart presentation, and Java Universal Network/Graph Framework libraries for the graph visualization. This paper also presents the implementation of the proposed prototype based on the cloud application deployment scenario to illustrate its applicability. This work contributes to provide a fundamental work towards automated synthesis for self-adaptive systems.

Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
