PDAs, mobile phones, and several
consumer devices greatly facilitate a pervasive computing
environment. However, pervasive
computing does not address security issues adequately.
Although protocols have been developed to enhance
security, bandwidth limitations largely compromise the
security of these protocols. (NOTE : Add 3-4 more
sentences that describe characteristics of the problem or
statistics that reflect its severity) For
instance, given the growing communication bandwidth, only
several hours instead of months can breach the system.
The inability to establish a secure
infrastructure makes users hesitant to adopt a pervasive
computing environment owing to privacy and security
concerns. Therefore, a novel security
infrastructure must be developed for a pervasive computing
environment.
()
A novel security infrastructure can be developed for a
pervasive computing environment. To do so, a novel
security infrastructure can be proposed. Those available security
protocols can then be assumed to be merged into the framework. Next,
a pervasive computing environment for dedicated applications can be
established to verify the security of the proposed strategy.
As anticipated, a vertical application of pervasive computing can be
well integrated. Additionally, its security issues can be effectively
addressed. Importantly, the proposed security
infrastructure can form a security foundation when developing other
applications in a pervasive computing environment. (NOTE : Add 2-3
more sentences that describe more thoroughly how the proposed
method contributes to a particular field or sector)

The Taguchi method is extensively adopted to enhance
manufacturing procedures and product quality. As an efficient robust
design approach, the Taguchi method significantly enhances process
performance and reduces both process development time and
manufacturing costs. Additionally, the Taguchi method uses parameter
design to determine a robust factor-level combination that can
intervene in noise factors. Noise factors produce product/process
variances, making such factors extremely difficult or costly to control.
Moreover, experiments allocating Taguchis orthogonal array can
reduce the quantity of experiments to lower experimental costs. The
Taguchi method has subsequently been adopted in numerous
industrial-related fields. In most design instances,
increasing variation in customer requirements accompanies complex
product design. Although adopted in various industries to continuously
enhance product design in response to customer requirements, the
conventionally adopted Taguchi method only can optimize single
quality characteristic design. As product/process design tends to be
rather complex to comply with constantly changing customer
requirements and production technology, the quality improvement of
the conventional Taguchi method gradually declines.
()
The Taguchi method applies a signal-to-noise
(SN) ratio as a quality performance measure. According to the SN ratio
calculated from experimental observations, an optimal factor-level
combination can be obtained by selecting the factor-level with a
maximum SN ratio. However, utilizing the SN ratio as a quality
performance measure in the optimization procedure may yield an
erroneous analysis. Furthermore, the elevated degree of SN ratio for
the optimal factor-level combination deteriorates when a complex
relationship exists between control factors and quality characteristics.
Manufacturers are especially concerned with
optimizing a systems quality to enhance product competitiveness in the
market place. Most recent manufacturing systems have a complex
design with multiple quality characteristics based on various customer
requirements. Accordingly, multiple quality characteristics must be
evaluated simultaneously to determine an optimal factor-level
combination for a system. The inability to efficiently optimize a complex
system with multiple quality characteristics limits applications of the
conventional Taguchi method. Therefore, a
product/process optimizing procedure based on ABC method must be
developed, capable of efficiently optimizing a system regardless of the
system complexity.
()
A product/process optimizing procedure
based on ABC method can be developed, capable of
efficiently optimizing a system regardless of the system
complexity. To do so, experimental
observations of quality characteristics for a system can be
formed based on statistical approaches. Given the ability to
simultaneously evaluate multiple inputs and outputs for a
system, quality performance of the system can then be
assessed using the ABC method. Next, a solving scheme
can be used to obtain the optimal factor-level combination
of the complete system. Additionally, a verification process
can be added to the optimizing procedure to verify the
quality improvement of the optimal factor-level combination.
()
As anticipated, capable of alleviating the limitations of the
conventionally adopted Taguchi method, the proposed procedure using
ABC method does not require specific assumptions regarding a system,
allowing it to efficiently determine an optimal factor-level combination
for a system. Additionally, statistics can enhance the solving efficiency
for the optimizing procedure. The proposed procedure can also
significantly enhance quality performance regardless of design
complexity. Restated, the proposed procedure can obtain a robust
design for a system. Importantly, the proposed
product/process optimizing procedure using ABC method can
contribute to efforts to continuously improve the conventional Taguchi
method and optimization schemes for multiple quality characteristics,
subsequently helping manufacturers to optimize recent complex design
systems to satisfy diversified customer and technology requirements.
Furthermore, the proposed procedure can obtain a factor-level
combination more robust than the conventional Taguchi method,
enabling manufacturers to earn a profit from quality improvement.
