Using simulation models for manufacturing facilities is a common approach for planning, optimizing, and testing different machine configurations and positioning before the actual construction. However, creating these models is time-consuming and costly. Consequently, only a few different simulation models are usually created based on best practices and experience, precluding any examination of the entire variety of possible solutions. To address these obstacles, we present a proof of concept to automate and hence reduce the cost of the process of simulation model creation, thereby allowing for the creation of a larger number of selectable solution variants. Based on a given master simulation model, which obtained all possible variations of a shop floor, we defined simulation building blocks as components. We used component-based synthesis using combinatory logic to synthesize a product line of varying simulation models for a given configuration to be executed and evaluated to find suitable solutions.

Background: The COVID-19 outbreak interrupted regular activities for over a year in many countries and resulted in a radical change in ways of working for software development companies, i.e., most software development companies switched to a forced Working-From-Home (WFH) mode. Aim: Although several studies have analysed different aspects of forced WFH mode, it is unknown whether and to what extent WFH impacted the accumulation of technical debt (TD) when developers have different ways to coordinate and communicate with peers. Method: Using the year 2019 as a baseline, we carried out an industrial case study to analyse the evolution of TD in five components that are part of a large project while WFH. As part of the data collection, we carried out a focus group with developers to explain the different patterns observed from the quantitative data analysis. Results: TD accumulated at a slower pace during WFH as compared with the working-from-office period in four components out of five. These differences were found to be statistically significant. Through a focus group, we have identified different factors that might explain the changes in TD accumulation. One of these factors is responsibility diffusion which seems to explain why TD grows faster during the WFH period in one of the components. Conclusion: The results suggest that when the ways of working change, the change between working from office and working from home does not result in an increased accumulation of TD.
It is a well-known fact that improving time series prediction accuracy is an important and challenging issue. Exten-sive research has been conducted using soft-computing techniques to improve their prediction accuracy...
