Abstract: In an example, a method is performed by a computing system that is one of a group of computing systems involved in facilitating a manufacturing of an aircraft. The method comprises generating a plurality of manufacturing task work statements (MTWSs), each MTWS being associated with a task involved in the manufacturing and comprising smart contract data and computer code. The method also comprises receiving system state information indicating (i) a schedule according to which the aircraft is to be manufactured, (ii) resources available for use in executing the MTWSs, and (iii) one or more aircraft certification requirements with which the tasks involved in the manufacturing of the aircraft are to comply. The method also comprises executing the MTWSs based on the system state information and storing, in a blockchain-based distributed ledger accessible by the group of computing systems, an end state result of the execution of each MTWS.

Abstract: Systems, computer readable media, and method concern determining operational parameters of an inventory of components to be included in a battery. The method further includes determining an initial working solution for a battery design layout for the battery. The method also includes determining, based on the initial working solution, one or more possible solutions for the battery design layout utilizing a local search algorithm. The local search algorithm iteratively generates the one or more possible solutions from the initial working solution by swapping components from one or more components assigned to locations in the battery design layout with at least one of other components assigned to locations in the battery design layout and other components remaining in the inventory. The swapping of components is limited by a tabu list.

Abstract: A method determining distribution of a shared resource among nodes in a network includes: (a) identifying each node according to a function performed by the node; brokers collecting messages from the nodes and disseminating messages among the nodes; publishers originating messages for transmission via the network; subscribers receiving messages transmitted via the network; (b) in no particular order: (1) identifying a need for each node; and (2) identifying the shared resource available for distribution; (c) communicating the shared resource available for distribution within the network to the brokers; and (d) operating each broker to: (1) coordinate communication with all other brokers and individually apply an algorithm to optimally allocate the shared resource among the brokers; or (2) communicate with a central facility coupled with each broker while the central facility applies an algorithm to optimally allocate the shared resource among the brokers.
