“…This technique does not depend on any programming language and uses objective models of system parameters [15]. Kovacs et al [16] have developed object oriented models on reusing FMS components. The purpose of their research was to obtain methods and tools to build FMS simulation models and control strategies easily, fast, and reliably.…”

In this paper, flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) are studied. Firstly, an FMS design approach is proposed using integrated definition for function methodology. A systematic layout design and performance evaluation scheme is presented and detailed using this modeling framework. Then, the proposed approach is carried out with a case study from an aircraft industry to convert an existing traditional production system to FMS. To improve the system performance, a simulation-based method with Taguchi approach consisting of multiproducts is utilized. The objective is to find the machine and the product mix that achieves the maximum utilization while minimizing the cycle time. FMS system performance has been greatly improved by determining the most advantageous level of system components. It has also shown that FMS is a practicable production system in aircraft industry.

“…One is that interfaces are consistent and standard across applications since these interfaces between objects are encapsulated within the components. The other is that components provide a convenient mechanism for providing code reuse since components encapsulate proven code with well-defined interfaces [21,22]. The prototype software for the implement of the web-based cell controller was developed using Visual Basic 6.0 because it supports the definition and use of user-defined components.…”

With the evolution of the application of web technology, agent-based manufacturing systems can be both easily implemented and become a potential approach for modern manufacturing enterprises. In this paper, we present problems and models required for the development of web-based distributed manufacturing control systems. The specific objectives are: (1) to propose an appropriate architecture for a web-based distributed manufacturing control system, (2) to define the specification of a web-based cell controller, (3) to design the co-operative mechanisms, contract net protocol, for better system performance, (4) to upgrade the communication capability of existing CNC machines from RS232C to TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) based on Ethernet.To demonstrate the proposed development, prototype software based on ASP and VB programming was designed and implemented. As a result, not only is a great amount of time saved in the development of web-based manufacturing control software, but this development can also enhance the competitive capability of companies trying to operate on a flexible basis.

This paper describes the development of an information retrieval (IR) model for the indexing, storage and retrieval of documents created in extensible mark-up language (XML). The application area is the software reuse environment, which involves a broader class of documents than can be processed by conventional IR systems. This includes design and analysis documents in unified modelling language (UML) notation, as well as textual format, source code and textual and source code component interface definitions. XML was selected because it is emerging as the key standard for the representation of structured documents on the World Wide Web (WWW) and incorporates methods for the representation of metadata. A model is described that is easily customisable, since it is based upon an extensible object-oriented framework. This allows the development of an IR architecture that can easily be adapted to cope with the proliferation of XML document type definitions (DTDs) that is likely to be a characteristic of the WWW in the near future.University of Strathclyde. This paper begins by highlighting the importance of software reuse and then describes the broad structure and function of the AUTOSOFT system. Some of the key technologies underpinning the project are then outlined, with a particular focus on extensible mark-up language (XML) and its relevance to AUTOSOFT. This is followed by a discussion of the object-oriented framework that has been selected to support the development 50 1 2
