Abstract
The brisk and dynamic environment that factories are facing, both as an internal and an external level, requires a collection of handy tools to solve emerging issues in the industry 4.0 context. Part of the common challenges that appear are related to the increasing demand for high adaptability in the organizations' production lines. Mechanical processes are becoming faster and more adjustable to the production diversity in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). Concerning the previous characteristics, future factories can only remain competitive and profitable if they have the ability to quickly adapt all their production resources in response to inconstant market demands. Having previous concerns in focus, this paper presents a fast and adaptative framework for automated cells modeling, simulation and offline robot programming, focused on palletizing operations. Established as an add-on for the Visual Components (VC) 3D manufacturing simulation software, the proposed application allows performing fast layout modeling and automatic offline generation of robot programs. Furthermore, A* based algorithms are used for generating collision-free trajectories, discretized both in the robot joints space and in the Cartesian space. The software evaluation was tested inside the VC simulation world and in the real-world scenario. Results have shown to be concise and accurate, with minor displacement inaccuracies due to differences between the virtual model and the real world.

Abstract
Purpose Service design is a multidisciplinary approach that plays a key role in fostering service innovation. However, the lack of a comprehensive understanding of its multiple perspectives hampers this potential to be realized. Through an activity theory lens, the purpose of this paper is to examine core areas that inform service design, identifying shared concerns and complementary contributions. Design/methodology/approach The study involved a literature review in two stages, followed by a qualitative study based on selected focus groups. The first literature review identified core areas that contribute to service design. Based on this identification, the second literature review examined 135 references suggested by 13 world-leading researchers in this field. These references were qualitatively analyzed using the NVivo software. Results were validated and complemented by six multidisciplinary focus groups with service research centers in five countries. Findings Six core areas were identified and characterized as contributing to service design: service research, design, marketing, operations management, information systems and interaction design. Data analysis shows the various goals, objects, approaches and outcomes that multidisciplinary perspectives bring to service design, supporting them to enable service innovation. Practical implications - This paper supports service design teams to better communicate and collaborate by providing an in-depth understanding of the multiple contributions they can integrate to create the conditions for new service. Originality/value This paper identifies and examines the core areas that inform service design, their shared concerns, complementarities and how they contribute to foster new forms of value co-creation, building a common ground to advance this approach and leverage its impact on service innovation.

Abstract
Nowadays, ocean exploration is far from complete and the development of suitable recognition systems are crucial, to allow that the robots perform inspection and monitoring tasks in diverse conditions. The online available datasets are incomplete for these kinds of scenarios and, so it is important to build datasets that covered real condition in a simulated environment. Thus, it was developed a dataset with some man-made objects presents in the underwater environment. Moreover, it is also presented the developed method (Convolutional Neural Network) and its evaluation in diverse conditions is performed. It is also presented a comparative analysis and a discussion between the proposed algorithm and the ResNet architecture. The obtained results showed that the developed method is appropriate to classify 7 critical different objects with good performance.

Abstract
Causal Loop Diagrams (CLDs) are a modeling tool employed in Business Dynamics. Such a diagram consists of many tightly coupled loops to capture dynamic behavior of systems. Intuitive operational semantics, describing how changes are propagated among the loops, provide a basis for model animation or manual inspection. They are, however, not precise enough to enable automated property checking. This paper proposes and defines a net-based formal framework, showing true concurrency, so that automated analysis is made possible.
