May 2025: Top 10 Read Articles in Data Mining & Knowledge Management ProcessIJDKP
油
Data mining and knowledge discovery in databases have been attracting a significant amount of research, industry, and media attention of late. There is an urgent need for a new generation of computational theories and tools to assist researchers in extracting useful information from the rapidly growing volumes of digital data.
This Journal provides a forum for researchers who address this issue and to present their work in a peer-reviewed open access forum. Authors are solicited to contribute to the Journal by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the following areas, but are not limited to these topics only.
For any number of circumstances, obsolescence risk is ever present in the electronics industry. This is especially true for human-to-machine interface hardware, such as keypads, touchscreens, front panels, bezels, etc. This industry is known for its high mix and low-volume builds, critical design requirements, and high costs to requalify hardware. Because of these reasons, many programs will face end-of-life challenges both at the component level as well as at the supplier level.
Redesigns and qualifications can take months or even years, so proactively managing this risk is the best way to deter this. If an LED is obsolete or a switch vendor has gone out of business, there are options to proceed.
In this webinar, we cover options to redesign and reverse engineer legacy keypad and touchscreen designs.
