Emerging Engineering Approaches and Applications

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: The 80 papers selected for the August 2011 conference share recent research on engineering information systems, engineering management, industrial engineering, and computational methods for engineering. Two papers from the Shanghai Maritime University propose a storage location method for containers unloaded at a port terminal and a personalized music recommendation system. A contribution from the East China University of Political Science and Law explores the forensic investigation of network crime in the cloud computing environment, and a study from the Zhejiang University of Technology determines the optimal harvest time of cherry tomatoes using VIS-NIR spectroscopy and PLSR calibration. Other topics include six sigma inventory management, an image filtering algorithm, a resonant diaphragm liquid density sensor, and a server load balancing system.
