Huge Challenge

To develop a new information model for automation in its different dimensions is a huge challenge with strong influences for standardization in automation. This paper gives only a short motivation and introduction into these requirements and shows that all stakeholders need to be involved to define these requirements and to develop a method to gain the information model layer as the back bone for information integration in multi vendor plants. But the result is promising: a huge improvement in engineering, operation, optimization and management of production processes with much more flexibility during operation

Improved Accuracy

The production procedure of ship's hull plates includes hull modeling, lofting, cutting, and forming in sequence. Each process is isolated from the point of view of information flow and current practices in forming hull pieces are experience-dependent. This, in turn, reduces productivity and prevents the development of automation. To satisfy shipyards' demand for improved accuracy and enhanced productivity with mechanization or automation, it is necessary to collect production information, and to structure and maintain it in a well-organized manner. The objective of this paper is to propose an information model for ship's hull piece forming in a systematic manner. First, current shipyardsi practices and information flow relative to hull production process are described. From the point of view of information integration, the necessity of an information model is clarified. An information model for ship's hull piece forming is then proposed. For the information model, product model and concurrent engineering concepts are introduced. Since the construction of the information model with the two concepts requires an object-oriented approach, a new mixed-type, called here ‘hybrid’, object-oriented methodology for hull piece information model is defined. Based on the proposed methodology, the object association and operation analyses are carried out for the information modeling of hull piece forming. Through the analysis, the object-relation diagram shows that kinematics data is indispensable to construct the information model for hull piece forming.

The emergence of the World Wide Web made available massive amounts of data. This data, created and disseminated from many different sources, is prepared and linked in a way that is well-suited for display purposes, but automation, integration, interoperability or context-oriented search can hardly be implemented. Hence, the Semantic Web aims at promoting global information integration and semantic interoperability, through the use of metadata, ontologies and inference mechanisms. This chapter presents a Semantic Model for Tourism (SeMoT), designed for building Semantic Web enabled applications for the planning and management of touristic itineraries, taking into account the new requirements of more demanding and culturally evolved tourists. It includes an introduction to relevant tourism concepts, an overview of current trends in Web Semantics research and a presentation of the architecture, main features and a selection of representative ontologies that compose the SeMoT.

By analyzing the trend of MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), the concept of RMES (Reconfigurable Manufacturing Execution Systems) is put forward, which takes information integration as groundwork, aims at optimization of production processes and supports organizations, resources and processes for flexible conFig.. MDA (Model-driven Architecture) is introduced to provide more flexible in the process of the development of RMES, which would adapt to different technology used by the bottom systems and provide a more effective method to build RMES. During the development of RMES, many models are created, such as the model of business analysis, the model of components and the model of deployment. An instance of the system of plan, part of RMES, is presented to show how MDA used in the process of the development of RMES. Later, an application is given to show that RMES based on MDA can decrease the costs of development and maintenance for fitting the evolution of the enterprise.

Construction project life-cycle management should be based on the visualization of a virtual building, through the establishment of a Building Information Model in the phase of architectural design as a life-cycle information carrier to realize complete information integration. This enables all phases and territories of the whole building life-cycle to achieve in-time information-sharing so as to overcome traditional territory management pattern. This also improves the running mode and information management during the phases of design, costing, construction and operation.

The Subject

The article deals with the investigation of the specific features of idiom interpretation at the eye-mindedness stage. The ability of a subject to perceive the external resemblance of objects makes their hidden features invisible. In the cognitive process the subject learns to perceive and to interpret the outside world as the complex of objects, situations as a whole for self-identity and developing the capability to identify himself regarding this reality. It is a matter of common observation that one of the most complex forms of metaphorical thinking is the subject ability to interpret a figurative meaning. In the course of the imagination intentional development the acquired ability to think metaphorically influences the comprehension of many aspects of language, including the correct interpretation of idioms. Integrated meaning of phraseological units and idioms causes serious problems in the process of the child language aquisition. Due to limited background knowledge and corresponding cognitive structures, the child tries to interpret each component separately, losing the figurativeness, but at the same time giving the idiom or phraseological unit an individual and unusual sense. Young researchers, relying on objective thinking, perceive idioms as sentences where words are freely combined. The study revealed that the idioms interpretation depends on a number of internal and external factors, as well as the background knowledge about the reality and the rules of successful speech interaction. Various language means reflect the children’s speech dynamics within the process of formation of the subject’s ability to interpret a figurative meaning. When interacting with the surrounding reality, the subject’s awareness of his personal “Ego” inevitably generates contradictions of the reality cognition priority and new information. Integration of the old and new information results in creation of a problem situation and its comprehension. Scarcely ever new facts fit the framework of known concepts and behavior algorithms. Efforts to resolve the problem situations by search and creation of the new ways and solution methods, images and senses discovering the outworld new features, show the subject’s cognitive activity.
