Hospitals currently face numerous challenges in managing their pharmacy operations efficiently. While Business process Reengineering (BPR) has been proposed as a solution, its implementation in healthcare is more complex than in other industries. Healthcare professionals often struggle to identify problems and resist change. Simulation modeling is a technique that can visually present issues and facilitate user acceptance of changes. This paper systematically explores the application of discrete event simulation (DES) modeling in hospital pharmacy management. The specific problem of inefficient inventory control policies was analyzed and simulated using primary and secondary data from a tertiary care hospital case study in Thailand, focusing on a fast-moving drug called "Tear Natural Free (TNF)”. The simulation revealed the current inefficient performance, highlighting various phenomena such as demand characteristics, inventory levels, and stock-outs in each pharmacy room. The simulation outputs were utilized to identify alternative scenarios for further analysis of the effects of changing the business process. The most suitable forecasting technique and inventory replenishment policy for this type of item were determined to be Croston’s method and continuous review order-point, order-up-to-level (s, S) or min-max policy, respectively. Simulation modeling can serve as a valuable tool in identifying problems and improving business processes in hospital pharmacy management.

The metal industry has a critical need for materials to be produced with a more economical method that minimizes or is free of any environmental impact, making the conventional quality control techniques that are heavily reliant on human inspection laborious, subjective, and prone to human error. This paper discusses how machine learning and data-driven next-generation quality control systems may represent a paradigm shift in the process of metal production. Using real-time data from several production processes, such as temperature, processing conditions, and material composition, the machine learning model can make very accurate forecasts and monitor the quality of the end product. It also adjusts the production process to make the best quality possible in real time, with the aid of pattern detection and anomalies.

Identifying upstream processes responsible for wafer defects is challenging due to the combinatorial nature of process flows and the inherent variability in processing routes, which arises from factors such as rework operations and random process waiting times. This paper presents a novel framework for wafer defect root cause analysis, called Partial Trajectory Regression (PTR). The proposed framework is carefully designed to address the limitations of conventional vector-based regression models, particularly in handling variable-length processing routes that span a large number of heterogeneous physical processes. To compute the attribution score of each process given a detected high defect density on a specific wafer, we propose a new algorithm that compares two counterfactual outcomes derived from partial process trajectories. This is enabled by new representation learning methods, proc2vec and route2vec. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework using real wafer history data from the NY CREATES fab in Albany.

Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR & R) is a burgeoning subject in the realm of Artificial Intelligence. Its primary objective is to depict data pertaining to a certain field, especially for use in path planning applications. Utilising ontology-based methods for knowledge representation and reasoning enhances understanding of the environment for task processing. Ontology is a valuable instrument for gathering knowledge pertaining to the environment, events, and actions. This enhances the efficacy of path planning and the autonomy of robots. Knowledge reasoning approaches are essential for dynamically deducing novel conclusions, particularly in non-deterministic situations. This work thoroughly investigates the process of representing information using ontology and analyses reasoning techniques that play a vital role in path planning. Furthermore, we offer a comprehensive analysis of several planned domain description dialects, ontology editors, developers, and robot simulations systems in the subsequent sections.

This paper proposes a research method of urban environment design and renewal simulation model based on virtual reality technology, aiming to improve the efficiency and accuracy of urban planning and renewal process. This method takes point cloud dataprocessing as the core technology, combines advanced 3D modeling and virtual reality technology, and constructs a high-precision urban environment simulation system. The system includes key modules such as data acquisition, optimization algorithm design, model construction, simulation verification and interactive operation. Among them, through the improved point cloud dataprocessing algorithm, the rapid reconstruction of complex urban spatial structure is realized, and efficient 3D rendering and large-scale scene simulation are supported. dataanalysis of multiple actual urban scenes shows that this method has excellent performance in various environments. The simulation system supports accurate visual comparison of different urban design schemes, interactive scene adjustment through real-time dynamic operation, and quantitative evaluation of design results. Experimental data show that the system can control the simulation error within 5% in multiple urban renewal scenarios; the dataprocessing efficiency is improved by about 30% compared with traditional methods, and the 3D reconstruction time is shortened to 70% of the original.

A Digital Twin (Applied Twin™) is a computational model that represents a physical asset such as a process chamber, evolving over time to reflect its structure, behavior, and context. This model treats the asset-twin system as a set of coupled dynamical systems that evolve over time, interacting through observed data and control inputs. [1] They are an evolution of modeling & simulation. The Digital Twin (DT) can be useful in integration, testing, monitoring, and maintenance. Eventually it can be utilized as an early and ad hoc fast learning tool for systems and processes. In semiconductor manufacturing, DTs have found their way in their early rudimentary form as control or predictive applications such as for production control applications like planning, scheduling, and dispatching and for equipment and processcontrol applications like, Run-to-Run (Applied SmartFactory™ Run-2-Run) (R2R), Virtual Metrology, and predictive maintenance. Through this paper we explore the idea of idea of engineering DT and R2R algorithms with intersecting system manipulated variables or inputs between the two systems.

In this research paper, we present the design and implementation of an AI assisted interactive framework for datamodeling and high resolution image synthesis that leverages both state of the art latent diffusion models and visualisation of the real-time algorithm. The system proposed enables user to be able to better understand complex datamodelingprocesses and creates high resolution images in the latent space using diffusion. The framework is both interactive, allowing modifications in parameters and real time visualization of change, making it a useful tool both for educational and for advanced AI research. In this paper, we also discuss the underpinning AI-assisted datamodeling algorithms, and why they enable efficient data manipulation as well as high quality image synthesis then provide simulation results and practical applications to illustrate the capabilities of the framework of visualizing the latent diffusion process and generating high resolution images.
