Indoor Cargo Vending System Development and Development Environment Design

The rapid expansion of e-commerce caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has increased the significance of the logistics industry. Processes for delivery and return need to be more adaptable and effective in this situation. Smart outdoor cargo vending systems have been created to satisfy this need. These systems do, however, have some drawbacks, such as security and energy usage. In order to address the issues with outdoor vending, this paper presents an indoor smart cargo vending system with high security and minimal energy consumption. Customers have the choice to pick up or return their orders with the help of this system. Additionally, this creative solution aids e-commerce businesses in decreasing logistics expenses and raising customer satisfaction. For manufacturers of vending machines and e-commerce businesses, this proposed indoor smart cargo vending system provides solutions for all scenarios of cargo order processes. This solution combines the design of the system's hardware and software with a methodology that has been discussed in the scientific literature. The study's conclusion suggests a novel indoor smart cargo vending system that was created in response to the logistical difficulties brought on by the expansion of e-commerce. This system can have a positive impact in key areas like security, energy efficiency, and customer satisfaction, and it can be seen as a significant advancement for the logistics sector.

Configurable Software Development Environment Design for Measurement and Control System Based on Virtual Instruments

Software development for a measurement and control system is a time consuming performance. To accelerate development process, a graphic software development environment was designed and established based on the principle of Virtual Instruments. In the developed environment, three layers including interface editing, channel configuration and database were designed for software incubation with codeless operation. The users could newly establish or re-edit a project according to designed software development flow and database would automatically generate for interface and channel management. An application for couple-tank water level control system was constructed in the developed environment to validate the system reliability and usability. Obtained results showed that software could be established in the development environment for measurement and control system with simplified operation.

Sub-Method Reflection.

Reflection has proved to be a powerful feature to support the design of development environments and to extend languages. However, the granularity of structural reflection stops at the method level. This is a problem since without sub-method reflection developers have to duplicate efforts, for example to introduce transparently pluggable type-checkers or fine-grained profilers. In this paper we present Persephone, an efficient implementation of a sub-method meta-object protocol (MOP) based on AST annotations and dual methods (a compiled method and its meta-object) that reconcile AST expressiveness with bytecode execution. We validate the MOP by presenting TreeNurse, a method instrumentation framework and TypePlug, an optional, pluggable type system which is based on Persephone.
