For most animals it is vital for survival. For us, it enriches our experience of the world, our pleasure in food and drink, and affects all human interaction. Paolo Pelosi describes how scientists are finally unravelling the science of smell.SmellElectronic books.Smell.612.86Pelosi Paolo942636MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464963203321On the scent2127217UNINA04763nam 22007935 450 991043792910332120251230064443.01-283-93501-53-642-30749-310.1007/978-3-642-30749-2(CKB)2670000000317338(EBL)1082496(OCoLC)823728361(SSID)ssj0000879661(PQKBManifestationID)11520640(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000879661(PQKBWorkID)10853794(PQKB)10048880(DE-He213)978-3-642-30749-2(MiAaPQ)EBC1082496(PPN)168317583(EXLCZ)99267000000031733820121214d2013 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrRobust Manufacturing Control Proceedings of the CIRP Sponsored Conference RoMaC 2012, Bremen, Germany, 18th-20th June 2012 /edited by Katja Windt1st ed. 2013.Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :Imprint: Springer,2013.1 online resource (552 p.)Lecture Notes in Production Engineering,2194-0533Description based upon print version of record.3-642-44578-0 3-642-30748-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.From the Contents: Description of a configuration model for establishing adaptable logistics chains -- Role and Novel Trends of Production Network Simulation -- Enhancements of a Logistic Model to Improve the Time Synchronicity of Convergent Supply Processes -- On the Configuration and Planning of Dynamic Manufacturing Networks -- Network Configuration in Presence of Synchronization Requirements -- Dynamic Business Model Analysis for Strategic Foresight in Production Networks -- Switching dispatching rules with Gaussian processes -- New Mechanisms in Decentralized Electricity Trading to Stabilize the Grid System: A Study with Human Subject Experiments and Multi-agent Simulation -- Robust solution approach to CLSP problem with an uncertain demand.This contributed volume collects research papers, presented at the CIRP Sponsored Conference Robust Manufacturing Control: Innovative and Interdisciplinary Approaches for Global Networks (RoMaC 2012, Jacobs University, Bremen, Germany, June 18th-20th 2012). These research papers present the latest developments and new ideas focusing on robust manufacturing control for global networks. Today, Global Production Networks (i.e. the nexus of interconnected material and information flows through which products and services are manufactured, assembled and distributed) are confronted with and expected to adapt to: sudden and unpredictable large-scale changes of important parameters which are occurring more and more frequently, event propagation in networks with high degree of interconnectivity which leads to unforeseen fluctuations, and non-equilibrium states which increasingly characterize daily business. These multi-scale changes deeply influence logistic target achievement and call for robust planning and control strategies. Therefore, understanding the cause and effects of multi-scale changes in production networks is of major interest. New methodological approaches from different science disciplines are promising to contribute to a new level comprehension of network processes. Unconventional methods from biology, perturbation ecology or auditory display are gaining increasing importance as they are confronted with similar challenges. Advancements from the classical disciplines such as mathematics, physics and engineering are also becoming of continuing importance.Lecture Notes in Production Engineering,2194-0533Industrial ManagementDynamicsNonlinear theoriesProduction managementGraph theoryIndustrial ManagementApplied Dynamical SystemsOperations ManagementGraph TheoryIndustrial Management.Dynamics.Nonlinear theories.Production management.Graph theory.Industrial Management.Applied Dynamical Systems.Operations Management.Graph Theory.620.0042620/.0042670Windt Katja731082MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910437929103321Robust manufacturing control4204156UNINA
