Using Legacy Modeling Artifacts in Supply Chain Logistics Simulation

December 12, 2013
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Terry Harrison
We investigate the feasibility, and the potential advantages and pitfalls of using modeling languages such as the Unified Modeling Language (UML), and the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) to prepare models for discrete event simulation of supply

A Consilience-based Approach to Engineering Services in Global Supply Chains

September 12, 2013
Author(s)
Albert W. Jones
Technology life cycles are becoming shorter as is the time for those technologies to become ubiquitous in the society. The Industrial Revolution took about 150 years; but the computer revo-lution took only 50 years. Cell phones, which hit the market in the

Use Case Analysis for Standard Manufacturing Service Capability Model

September 12, 2013
Author(s)
Yunsu Lee, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Marko Vujasinovic, Nenad Ivezic
To efficiently assemble manufacturing supply chains, manufacturers need to provide precise and easily accessible their manufacturing service capability (MSC) information described in the form of MSC descriptions. However, a number of challenges exist in

An Optimization Approach for Semantic-based XML Schema Matching

May 16, 2013
Author(s)
Jaewook Kim, Yun Peng, Nenad Ivezic, Jun H. Shin
We propose a novel solution for semantic-based XML schema matching, taking a mathematical programming approach. This method identifies the globally optimal solution for the problem of matching leaf nodes between two XML schema trees by reducing the tree-to

On Enhancing Communication of Manufacturing Service Capability Information

May 16, 2013
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Nenad Ivezic, Yunsu Lee
A manufacturing service model contains both schema and schema-compliant descriptions of suppliers’ service information, such as locations, areas of specialization, capacities, certifications, software capabilities, and material processing capabilities

Concept Analysis to Enrich Manufacturing Service Capability Models

March 22, 2013
Author(s)
Jun H. Shin, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Yunsu Lee, Nenad Ivezic
When an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), which makes a final product for the consumer marketplace by purchasing components from its suppliers, faces unexpected supply network failures and market events, models of suppliers’ manufacturing service

A comparison of methods for Non-rigid 3D shape retrieval

September 26, 2012
Author(s)
Zhouhui Lian, Afzal A. Godil
Non-rigid 3D shape retrieval has become an active and important research topic in content-based 3D object retrieval. The aim of this paper is to measure and compare the performance of state-of-the-art methods for non-rigid 3D shape retrieval. The paper

A Roadmap for STEP-NC Enabled Interoperable Manufacturing

June 17, 2011
Author(s)
Fiona Zhao, Frederick M. Proctor, Martin Hardwick, Sid Venkatesh, David Odendahl, Xun Xu
STEP-NC is the result of a ten-year international effort to replace the RS274D (ISO 6983) G and M code standard with a modern associative language. The new standard connects CAD design data to CAM process data so that smart applications can understand both

Agile Test Framework for Business-to-Business Interoperability

April 12, 2011
Author(s)
Jungyub Woo, Nenad Ivezic, H Cho
Business-to-business (B2B) applications are tested routinely for conformance and interoperability against a set of data exchange standards before deployment. However, the existence of many data exchange standards, planned utilizations, deployment

Semantic-based Optimal XML Schema Matching: A Mathematical Programming Approach

February 9, 2011
Author(s)
Jaewook Kim, Yun Peng, Nenad Ivezic, Jun H. Shin
We propose a novel solution for semantic-based XML schema matching, taking a mathematical programming approach. This method identifies the globally optimal solution for the problem of matching two XML schemas by reducing the tree-to-tree matching problem

New Capabilities for Process and Interaction Modeling in BPMN 2

January 5, 2011
Author(s)
Stephen White, Conrad Bock
This paper provides a high-level introduction to new features in processes and interaction diagrams in the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) Version 2.0. BPMN 2.0 expands the capabilities of BPMN 1.x Process and Collaboration diagrams, and adds

Semantic B2B-integration Using an Ontological Message Metamodel

September 1, 2010
Author(s)
Marko Vujasinovic, Nenad Ivezic, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Zoran Marjanovic
E-Business applications are often required to use different, incompatible, message sets to implement message interfaces for a business-to-business (B2B) communication. This makes communication with every new partner a new interoperability problem. In this

Trade Collaboration Systems

August 30, 2010
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno
A trade collaboration system (TCS) is a system designed to coordinate the work of supply chain stakeholders involved in the business processes of global logistics. Using the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, the TCS provides a cohesive, process-oriented

Modeling and Monitoring of Construction Supply Chains

August 1, 2010
Author(s)
Jack C. Cheng, Kincho H. Law, Hans Bjornsson, Albert T. Jones, Ram D. Sriram
The planning and management of supply chains require properly specifying the participating members and the relationships among them. Construction supply chains usually consist of numerous participants and are complex in structure. Representing construction

AP210 Edition 2 Concept of Operations

March 26, 2010
Author(s)
Kevin G. Brady, Jamie Stori, Thomas Thurman
One of the most prevalent requirements of manufacturing industries today is the need to exchange and share product information within and between enterprises. This becomes almost impossible without a standardized, computer-interpretable method of

An Enabler for Supplier Discovery in Virtual Supply Chains: A Shared Terminology

November 5, 2009
Author(s)
Steven J. Fenves, Eswaran Subrahmanian, Mahesh Mani, Albert T. Jones
Rigid supply-chain organizational structures are giving way to highly dynamic collaborative partnerships. These partnerships will develop rapidly by composing global manufacturing resources in response to open market opportunities; and, they will disband
