Domain-based on-line simulation for real-time decision support

Abstract

In this research the applicability of on-line simulation systems for real time decision support is explored and the concept of domain based on-line simulation systems is introduced. For the purpose of demonstrating the feasibility of this concept, a proto~e domain based on-line simulation has been designed, developed, and implemented. The details of the prototype system and how it could be used to make real-time decisions for various problem situations in a chosen domain are discussed. The implemented on-line simulation system has been validated using an off-line simulation model and the results have been analyzed to evaluate the feasibility and cost effectiveness of developing domain based on-line simulation systems.

A study on automated scheduling methodology for machining job shop

“…In order to perform the real-time scheduling and simulation corresponding to the dynamic situation of the shop, the processing progress of the products and the status of the equipment should be continuously monitored [4]. To realize this function, the proposed system has the control mechanism which creates each entity of objects having one-to-one relationship to the actual work piece and equipment, and moves the work piece object among the equipment objects by tracking the real progress of manufacturing execution.…”
