"... In PAGE 2: ...2 Scenarios In these synthetic scenarios a typical automation ap- plication is used which consists of a central control sys- tem and distributed intelligent field devices. The work- load shown in Table1 follows the results of traffic mea- surements at existing manufacturing plants [12]. Within the MT 1 message type the cyclic process data exchange forms the major part of the data with its short user data lengths typical of field communication.... In PAGE 3: ... Moreover, you will see for the reference scenario the worst case values for standard Ethernet with priority sup- port in figure 4 marked as points. The analytic values of the transaction times with standard Ethernet were deter- mined with the method Network Calculus [14] according to the workload in Table1 . Network Calculus is a collec- tion of results based on Min-Plus algebra, which applies to deterministic queuing systems with bounding constraints on packet arrival and service found in communication net- works.... ..."

"... In PAGE 13: ... The authors then determined the maximum number of disjoint components (clusters) that can exist for any given bipartite graph.[61, 63] 7 Methods Based on Arti cial Intelligence Researchers have increasingly applied arti cial intelligence (AI) techniques to the cellular manufacturing problem as shown in Table5 . Many of these methods use solution method- ologies patterned after non-hierarchical clustering methods, array-based clustering methods, etc.... ..."

"... In PAGE 7: ... Six scheduling algorithms are evaluated, each of which is the combination of a work- load allocation scheme and a job dispatching strategy. These six algorithms (ORT-Rand, ORT-RR, OMR-Rand, OMR-RR, W-Rand and W-RR) are listed in Table2 . In the weighed Random dispatching, the cluster is randomly selected while in the weighted Round-Robin, the cluster is selected in a round-robin manner by the global sched- uler.... ..."

"... In PAGE 1: ... It is clear that AI techniques are necessary to apply if one wants intelligent NC machine, but - of course - the usage of them is not adequate in intelligent behavior. Table1 summaries the features of an intelligent CNC as Wright and Bourne collected them and shows two further things: the positive changes done in the recent years and the still existing gaps where - according to the scientific community - AI offers solutions with its information processing methods. Analyzing the Table 1.... In PAGE 1: ... Table 1 summaries the features of an intelligent CNC as Wright and Bourne collected them and shows two further things: the positive changes done in the recent years and the still existing gaps where - according to the scientific community - AI offers solutions with its information processing methods. Analyzing the Table1 ., it is clear that many features do not require direct AI methods.... ..."

"... In PAGE 13: ... The method employed by TeleMorph to process these various constraints and utilize this information effectively to design the most suitable combinations of output modalities is the main challenge within this research project. Table2 shows that TeleMorph and TeleTuras uti- lize similar input and output modalities to those employed by other mobile intelligent multimedia presentation systems. (Please note that due to space restrictions, output modalities have been omitted.... In PAGE 13: ... (Please note that due to space restrictions, output modalities have been omitted.) One point to note about the intelligent multimedia presentation systems in Table2 is that on input none of them integrate vision, while only one system uses speech and two use haptic deixis. In comparison, all of the mobile intelligent multimedia systems inte- grate speech and haptic deixis on input.... ..."
