An Evolutionary Distributed Agent System: A Framework and Application to Manufacturing Design and Control

Lee, In; Amaravadi, Chandra S. - In: International Journal of Knowledge-Based Organizations … 6 (2016) 3, pp. 28-44

Information systems are subject to change from the environment. If systems are to be used beyond their initial purpose as conceived during the requirements definition stage, they must be designed to evolve. One approach to evolutionary complexity is to make systems dynamically configurable so...

Enhanced methanol recovery and glycerol separation in biodiesel production – DWC makes it happen

Kiss, Anton A.; Ignat, Radu M. - In: Applied Energy 99 (2012) C, pp. 146-153

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel that consists of fatty acids methyl esters – currently produced by trans-esterification of glycerides with methanol. After the biodiesel synthesis, the downstream processing steps involve the purification of crude glycerol, as well as the separation of excess...
