A four-step model for diagnosing knowledge transfer challenges from operations into engineering design

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

investigating the integration of translation technologies into translation programs in iranian universities: basis for a syllabus design in translation technology

today, information technology and computers are indispensable tools of any profession and translation technologies have become an indispensable part of translator’s workstation. with the increasing demands for high productivity and speed as well as consistency and with the rise of new demands for translation and localization, it is necessary for translators to be familiar with market demands an...

Starting a Knowledge Engineering Project: A Step-By-Step Approach

Getting started on a new knowledge engineering project is a difficult and challenging task, even for those who have done it before. For those who haven’t, the task can often prove impossible. One reason is that the requirementsoriented methods and intuitions learned in the development of other types of software do not carry over well to the knowledge engineering task. Another reason is that met...
