An increasing number of steel factories around the world are integrating two processes: continuous casting and hot rolling. The slab warehouse is the link between these two processes. Slabs of certain sizes are cast on the continuous casting machine streams and then transported to the slab warehouse. In the warehouse, overhead cranes move the slabs to storage locations, into stacks. The sequence of slabs arriving at the slab warehouse plays an important role: slabs that arrive earlier should, as a rule, be stacked earlier. If several cranes may be operating in a warehouse in an adjacent space, the scheduling of cranes becomes much more difficult: a safe distance must be maintained between the cranes. This paper proposes a mathematical model of crane scheduling for a defined solution to the storage location assignment problem in a slab warehouse. This mathematical model considers a large number of constraints specific to the mentioned process, such as: orthogonality of crane movement; order of slab processing; minimum distance between cranes; maximum and minimum height of stacks; and many others. The developed mathematical model takes into account the space-time characteristics of the warehouse and crane trajectories, which allows its application to create a digital twin of the slab warehouse, which will allow to check the acceptability of the crane schedule for some solution of the problem of storage location assignment._

Rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) logic is a digital circuit technology that in recent years has presented itself as an alternative to semiconductors in the application of ultra high speed, very low power applications. The optimal timing of digital circuits operating at hundreds of GHz is still a complex problem for both RSFQ and semiconductor technologies. The fact that most RSFQ gates require a clock signal to function makes this even more complex. Various RSFQ timing schemes have been adapted from semiconductor design methodologies, and some have been designed specifically for RSFQ. Currently, synchronous clocking schemes outperform other schemes, but with the scale of RSFQ circuits ever increasing, the proper use of timing schemes are becoming more crucial. This paper describes a new asynchronous self-timing scheme where the details of clock distribution and clocking are built into the logic gates. Tests were done on the newly developed asynchronous logic gates and an asynchronous full adder was implemented and tested

This book is an authoritative collection of contributions in the field of soft-computing. Based on selected works presented at the 6th World Conference on Soft Computing, held on May 22-25, 2016, in Berkeley, USA, it describes new theoretical advances, as well as cutting-edge methods and applications. Theories cover a wealth of topics, such as fuzzy logic, cognitive modeling, Bayesian and probabilistic methods, multi-criteria decision making, utility theory, approximate reasoning, human-centric computing and many others. Applications concerns a number of fields, such as internet and semantic web, social networks and trust, control and robotics, computer vision, medicine and bioinformatics, as well as finance, security and e-Commerce, among others. Dedicated to the 50th Anniversary of Fuzzy Logic and to the 95th Birthday Anniversary of Lotfi A. Zadeh, the book not only offers a timely view on the field, yet it also discusses thought-provoking developments and challenges, thus fosteringnew research directions in the diverse areas of soft computing.
The problem that a robot navigates autonomously through its environment, builds its own map and localizes itself in the map (known a the SLAM problem), is still an open problem. Most of the approaches to solve the SLA...

Cognitive Radio Technology has brought new insights to the problems of spectrum scarcity and inefficiency, in which spectrum holes are opportunistically accessed when the licensed users (primary users) are not using the frequencies that are assigned to those users. In this paper, we propose a multi-path route discovery algorithm for cognitive radio ad hoc networks (CRAHN) using algebraic connectivity. The employed routing mechanism takes into account the impact of the primary users on the non-licensed users (secondary users) in a way that the secondary users choose the paths which are less affected by the non-licensed users. With regard to proposed route discovery algorithm, data traffic congestions are tried to be avoided in the secondary network by reducing the number of all possible paths from source to destination. The results show that the devised method overcomes the technique of the route request (RREQ) message flooding between a source and a destination.

Cloud Computing is a new technology that has rapidly established itself in computer science since it allows the usage of huge computing resources that are dynamically allocated in order to satisfy user's needs and that are accessible as a service through a remote interface, such as a web browser. Cloud resources can be distributed in different places and such distribution is made transparent to the user;this one does not need to worry about data replication and/or maintenance of the infrastructure but he/she benefits only of the required services, by exploiting the Pay-Per-Use business model. In this context, the interoperability among different providers becomes critical due to the vendor lock-in problem. Here we present a multi agent system that accesses, on behalf of the user, the utility market of Cloud computing to maintain the best resources configuration that satisfies the application requirements. It also offers management and monitoring facilities for the Cloud infrastructure in order to guide the user in all the phases of the application's lifecycle. Together with the platform, we present client-side tools that can be used to orchestrate agents' based services.
