Although modern control theories have been successfully applied to solve a variety of problems, they are often mathematically and physically too specific to describe and analyze t...
Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are an emerging technology, yet, in continuous dynamic behavior, much work has been done to attempt to generate a formal method to design a contro...
Fluctuations of work-in-progress (WIP) levels cause variability of cycle time and often lead to productivity losses in semiconductor wafer fabrication plants. To identify sources ...
Emulation is a very powerful tool for testing and debugging control code/logic in an office environment rather than on the plant floor. Through the use of emulation, the actual co...
Facility layouts of existing or proposed production systems often form the basis of a dynamic simulation study to prove the design concept and to determine if the required through...
