Text input tools’ complementarity in immersive virtual environments
This study presents a user test in order to ascertain the advantages and disadvantages of three different text input methods in immersive virtual environment: individual Speech-to-Text, collective Speech-to-Text and a virtual keyboard named Drum-Like Keyboard. We measured participants’ user experience, especially related to usability and utility, in order to offer relevant recommendations to people seeking […]

A Simulated Multi-Objective Model for Flexible Job Shop Transportation Scheduling
This paper proposes a new dynamic algorithm based on simulation approach and multi-objective optimization to solve the FJSP with transportation assignment. The objectives considered in scheduling jobs and transportation tasks in a flexible job shop manufacturing system include makespan, robot travel distance, time difference with due date and critical waiting time. The results obtained from […]

Automatic generation of building information models from digitized plans
This paper proposes a new approach to creating Building Information (BIM) models of existing buildings from digitized images. This automatic approach is based on three main steps. The first involves extracting the useful information automatically from rasterized plans by using image processing techniques that include segmentation, filtering, dilation, erosion, and contour detection. This information feeds […]

On the use of particle-wall interaction models to predict particleladen flow in 90-deg bends
The objective of this work is to evaluate the capability of different combinations of a turbulence model and a Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) model integrating a particle-wall interaction (PWI) model to predict particle-laden flow in 90-deg bends, as well as the impact of the PWI model on the prediction of the referred flow. The experimental […]

Ordonnancement dynamique des tâches robotisées pour le traitement du mildiou par radiation UV-c dans l’horticulture
Dans cet article nous présentons une méthode d’ordonnancement dynamique appliquée au traitement robotisé de la maladie du mildiou dans les serres. Le traitement se fait par radiation ultraviolet (UV-c) avec un robot mobile autonome muni de lampes UV-c. Dans un premier temps, nous avons développé l’environnement du robot dans la serre dans un simulateur basé […]

Managing uncertainty during CBR systems vocabulary maintenance using Relational Evidential C-Means
Due to the incremental learning of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) systems, there is a colossal need to maintain their knowledge containers which are (1) the case base, (2) similarity measures, (3) adaptation, and (4) vocabulary knowledge. Actually, the vocabulary presents the basis of all the other knowledge containers since it is used for their description. Besides, […]

A Novel Strategy for Energy optimal designs of IoT and WSNs
Many IoT applications demand devices operating on battery, which restricts the useful life of the developed solution as most scenarios do not allow replacement of batteries. Given a target period of survivability of IoT devices, we must design devices and sub-systems meeting the estimated energy con-sumption rate so as meet target lifetime. Thus, for a […]

Fog-based Logistic Application Modeling in an Industry 4.0 Framework
The industrial growth introduced the Industry 4.0 revolution, which uses several IoT-based technologies to manage the huge amount of data generated by its connected systems. This revolution aims to exchange data between the different parts and improve the performance of the manufacturing process. Facing several limitations, this paradigm needs the Fog Computing to ameliorate the […]

Efficient Identification Model of Strategic Key Dimensions in SMEs
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) make-up 99.8% of all enterprises which comprises 57.4% of added value and 66.8% of employment within the European Union economy. In the age of the fourth industrial revolution, there will be an increasing competition among SMEs to operate efficiently, to hold on to their customers while capturing additional market share. […]
