Abstract

UPLIFE Ubiquitous Product Lifecycle Information highway For

Enhancement of machine tool systems

Goal To develop information infrastructure (UPLI) for supporting

manufacturing enterprises and societal activities to upgrade lifecycle value of machine tool product using ubiquitous technologies

Deliverables Unified data model for ubiquitously-interfaced comprehensive product

lifecycle information for machine tool systems New services (scenario, methodology/algorithm, data interface

architecture) upgrading value of machine tool systems throughout the entire lifecycle

Interoperability methods for ontology/view integration and mapping between unified data model and service application systems.

Student Exchange Program



Motivation The proposed joint research item is wide research, including

ubiquitous computing as well as manufacturing. Therefore, for the study, various domain knowledge might be needed.

To carry out the joint research item, studying during short term and exchanging e-mail is not enough.

For the joint research like joint workshops and seminars, long cooperation between laboratories is required.

Goal Carrying out a long term or short term joint research by PhD

candidates Publishing the result in an international journal Implementing the result as a prototype system



Types of programs Short term exchange program : During the vacation (2 month),

sending PhD candidate to the other laboratory for a joint research Long tern exchange program : During the semester (6 month),

sending PhD candidate to the other laboratory for a joint research

Methods Short term program : Each of PhD candidates introduces research

areas of the each laboratory. After that, they draw a common subject and carry out preliminary research on the topic.

Long term program : Joint research team choose one subject among joint research items and carry out the studies of the topic. Based on the result, the team publish a paper in an international journal or implement a prototype system.

Deliverables Short term program : Preliminary report of joint research Long term program : Paper (International Journal) or prototype

system
