This paper considers data management structures and cluster technologies in large-scale networks. Suboptimal network partitioning problems are formulated on the base of complexity index alignment. We propose methods for these problems solving, in particular the data clusters number and its boundaries determining. We describe a multi-stage iterative scheme for the semantic data mining from a large document with interdependent sections as well. At the first stage, a priori data mining complexity from these sections is estimated. Then we refine this complexity taking into account the revealed data mining from the adjacent sections. Based on this, the final partitioning of the data set of a big document into clusters is formed under circumstances of deadline and restrictions on financial resources. The proposed methods have been applied in some large-scale transport projects.

Abstract:In the mass customization environment, product platform development includes several aspects. One relates to the extent to which products are customized. Usually, a high level of product variety brings significant benefits to customers. On the other hand, a high degree of product customization may have a negative environmental impact during production, due to higher material usage. One possible way to reduce the impact is eliminating infeasible configuration options, caused by incompatibilities between optional component types, within a product platform. Such optional components are a source of negative complexity. However, a reduction of optional component types within a product platform can lead to decreasing the extent of the variety of a product to an undesirable level. An effective way of finding this optimal level of reduction is to quantify and analyze the rates between positive and negative complexities, which are related to the numbers of configuration options. The method for this purpose is presented in this paper.

Mass customization has become a novel trend in the manufacturing of products as it offers high product flexibility to customers. As a result, producers of such products have to cope with incresing demands on manufacturing and related complexity management. This paper aims to develop so called configuration complexity measure to determine the extent of mass-customized production variety. Product configuration complexity scale has been also developed in order to assess concurrent product architecturs based on the offered variety extent for their product. The method presented in this paper is a useful method with minimum input data required and with important output information for product decision-makers.
