The Maritime Shipping Competition (MSC) at AAMAS 2025 introduced a novel challenge focused on autonomous decision-making in maritime logistics. Participants developed agents capable of bidding for cargoes in sequential reverse auctions and scheduling transportation under uncertainty. Using the Maritime Agent-Based Logistics Emulator (MABLE), the competition simulated tramp trade shipping markets …

NP Aerospace, working with the Digital Manufacturing Centre (DMC), has used Caracol‘s Vipra AM platform to produce the Mastiff suspension and differential carrier, a structurally critical, load-bearing component for protected and dual-use vehicles, through wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). Printed as a single piece without tooling in 60 hours, the component marks a direct challenge&#8…

Abstract Understanding how technology adoption theories have been applied, extended, and integrated to explain e-waste technology uptake is critical for advancing both academic discourse and practical decision-making in the e-waste sector. Yet, existing scholarship remains conceptually dispersed, with prior reviews offering limited theoretical synthesis. Synthesising these diverse approaches is i…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly positioned as a core enabler of digital transformation within enterprise information systems (EIS). However, many organizations struggle to scale AI beyond isolated pilots into stable, enterprise-wide integration. This study examines how organizations can design a structured AI change process that supports successful integration of AI into internal IT …

Charles R. Goulding and Aaron Rofe detail the technical experimentation required to bypass traditional forging and casting in favor of 3D printed equipment that enhances ball speed and clinical precision. The post Teeing-Off at the 90th Masters with 3D Printing: Bryson DeChambeau’s R&D Innovation appeared on Fabbaloo .

The chemical leak that triggered evacuations across a swath of Orange County on Friday is located at GKN Aerospace, a manufacturing company based in the United Kingdom.

This article explores the increasing need for home health care services (HHCS) in developed nations due to rising life expectancy and changing family structures. To this end, we introduce a sophisticated two-stage stochastic programming model designed for the HHCS. The main objective is to efficiently assign caregivers to patients and optimize their travel routes, a complex task made more challen…

<div class="section abstract"> <div class="htmlview paragraph">To reduce the carbon emissions during the construction period of metro stations, two structural prefabrication schemes with varying prefabrication rates, based on the top-down construction method, were proposed and analyzed for their ability to study the carbon reduction potential of structural prefabrication construction …

Abstract Dry ports facilitate the containerization trade by connecting seaports with their hinterlands, yet their operational efficiency remains scarcely examined in the existing literature. This study addresses the gap by developing an input–output model to measure the operational efficiency of dry ports which includes 18 private dry ports in Bangladesh for the study. An output-oriented Data Env…

Solid waste management remains a persistent environmental governance challenge in the Philippines despite the implementation of Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. This study assessed the level of compliance of Barangay Nursery, Masbate City with the major provisions of RA 9003 in terms of institutional mechanisms, waste segregation and collection, Materials Re…

In the past year, researchers have created agentic systems that can design real-world CAD-style objects in a training-free setting, a new variety of system that we call Agent-Aided Design. These systems place an agent in a feedback loop in which it generates an assembly of CAD model(s), visualizes the assembly, and then iteratively refines its assembly based on visual and other feedback. Despite …
