There are many good AI books. Usually they consecrate at most one or two chapters to the imprecision knowledge processing. To our knowledge this is among the few books to be entirely dedicated to the treatment of knowledge imperfection when bui- ing intelligent systems. We consider that an entire book should be focused on this important aspect of knowledge processing. The expected audience for this book - cludes undergraduate students in computer science, IT&C, mathematics, business, medicine, e...

This book provides a framework within which existing or planned computer aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems and simultaneous engineering, can be integrated into an organization to achieve maximum efficiency, utilization and control. Companies are looking towards these new tools and approaches as a response to the pressures, such as decreasing production development cycle time (time based competition) and the increasing demands of customers, which they are now facing. It is not enough s...

CATIA V6 (Computer-Aided Three Dimensional Interactive Application) is the world's leading multi-platform CAD/CAM/CAE software suite marketed worldwide by IBM. It allows the user to apply its capabilities to a variety of industries such as automotive, industrial robots, electronics, manufacturing design, aerospace, and consumer goods. CATIA V6 Essentials includes all the major concepts related to the latest version of CATIA, such as installation, modes, and modeling in an easy-to-understand, ste...

This graphical analysis software aims to help the user choose the frequency plan, mixer and filter criteria necessary for frequency translation, and allows the tuning of these parameters according to frequency specifications. It includes tunable and reusable 10 x 10 mixer intermodulation tables that define the mixer type, local oscillator (LO) power levels, adjustable lowpass, highpass, bandreject, or bandpass filters, each with Butterworth or Tchebychev characteristics, tunable filter parameter...

Material and contact characterisation is a rapidly advancing field that requires the application of a combination of numerical and experimental methods. Including papers from the International Conference on Computational Methods and Experiments in Material and Contact Characterisation this volume presents the latest research in the field. Contributions come from both industry and research communities using computational methods and performing experiments. Demand for high quality production from...

This book presents the theory and practice of product lifecycle management, chiefly focusing on modern approaches suitable for digitalized enterprises. In addition to describing adaptive methods for advanced product creation using big data analytics, it presents economic and mathematical models for managing product lifecycles based on the application of recent methods (e.g. digital design and automated intelligent systems) to control pre-production and production processes. Given its scope, the...

This text covers computer numerical control programming and its role in the totally automated factory of the future. A systems approach is used throughout. Coverage starts with milestones in numerical control and computer developments in manufacturing, and goes on to consider computer numerical control's role as a basic module in a computer-integrated manufacturing facility. In addition, topics such as servo- and spindle-drive systems, group technology, and preventive maintenance and servicing o...
