Awt (Associative writing tool)

2001

In this paper a sketch of a tool for supporting writing process is discussed as an example of an application using GZigZag framework. GZigZag as well as Ted Nelson's ZigZag metastructure are introduced in a nutshell.

Intelligent robotic cell for Trencad/spl inodot//spl acute/s mosaics manufacturing

2005

The purpose of this paper is the description of an application for the complete automation of a mosaics manufacturing process with irregular random pieces, so called trencad/spl inodot//spl acute/s. An intelligent robotic cell has been implemented by using intelligent methods and pattern recognition techniques to assemble unpredictable objects in an autonomous manner.

Introduction to Information Technology for Development Minitrack

2015

The papers in this minitrack take the discourse of how Information Technology (IT) applications enable development objectives to take place to a new level. The contributions from the papers in this minitrack illustrate the innovative ways in which IT applications can bring about improvements in the lives of people.

Standards Initiatives for Software Product Line Engineering and Management within the International Organization for Standardization

2010

Software product line engineering is an established methodology for fast and effective development of software-intensive systems and services. To reap maximum benefits from the methodology, businesses typically need to implement coordinated changes in development methodologies, tools, product architectures, organizational designs, and business models. Product lines are developed in complex international software ecosystems, but there is no coordinated set of international standards for defining and leveraging the methodology. As a result, ecosystems cannot adopt standardized methods and tools for developing product lines, tool vendors face difficulties in developing tools to enable product …

Safety and Efficacy for New Techniques and Imaging using New Equipment to Support European Legislation (SENTINEL) — Education and Training Aspects

2007

SENTINEL is a Coordinated Action funded by the European Commission under the specific program (EURATOM) for research and training in the nuclear energy field as part of the 6th Framework Program.

Software Business in the Telecommunications Sector

2012

Operations and Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) software of Communication Service Providers (CSP's) can be developed internally within the CSP or acquired from a Software Vendor. The software industry lifecycle model hypothesizes that software development is internal in the beginning of the industry's lifecycle, and that the share of external products increases when it matures. Empirical evidence shows signs of the OSS/BSS software industry approaching maturity. Current and future developments of the industry include the possibilities of utilizing the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model and Open Source software (OSSw). Both have gained increasing interest by the CSP's. However, the relativ…

ISO Initiatives on Software Product Line Engineering: Vision and Current Status Invited Talk for Variability@ER2011

2011

Software product line engineering and management is still a relatively young discipline and its industrial diffusion is somewhat limited, partly due to the lack of international standards. It involves sub-disciplines that may not necessarily be mature enough yet for standardization. On the other hand, well-focused standardization efforts contribute to the diffusion of best product line practices and help raise the maturity of these practices. Careful roadmapping and execution of the standardization initiative is thus vital. This talk discusses the current roadmap for the international standardization initiative of software product line engineering and management methods and tools and the st…

Enterprise 2.0 and 3.0 in Education

2012

The aim of the following chapter is to analyze students’ view on Enterprise 2.0 and 3.0 of Web technologies in engineering and business education. The meaning of the key concepts of Enterprise 2.0and 3.0 and needs analysis is studied. Moreover, the study demonstrates how the key concepts are related to the idea of education. Finally, the study presents how the steps of the process are related: Enterprise 2.0 and 3.0 ? Enterprise 2.0 and 3.0 in engineering and business education ? empirical study. The following hypothesis for further studies is put forth: in order to develop the students’ view on Enterprise 2.0 and 3.0 in education, it is necessary to promote students’ use of Enterprise 2.0 …

Increasing understanding and confidence in THM simulations of engineered barrier systems

2020

Previous studies on the modelling of coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes in bentonite-based engineered barrier systems (EBSs) showed the sensitivity of the output quantities to changes in the input parameters. To investigate the effects of uncertainties on the modelling results, to improve the understanding of the coupled processes active in the repository near field and to gain in-depth understanding of model uncertainties of different codes, a sensitivity analysis and code comparison of EBS simulations was performed within the Task Force on Engineered Barrier Systems. The analysis included variations in material parameter values, boundary and initial conditions, considered phy…
