in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of City Planning. This thesis has two principal objectives. Firstly it attempts to measure the environment, defined by activity and space, to see how it changes and how it is formed. The rationale for this search is that unless we obtain this information we cannot tell where maladjusted activity and space relationships exist, an...

Design for Adaptability

Design for Product Adaptability

Adaptable design is a new design paradigm to create designs and products that can be easily changed to satisfy different requirements. Adaptable design aims at identifying the designs and products considering functionality, manufacturing efforts, customization, and environment friendliness. This research focuses on adaptable design considering product adaptability. In this work, product adaptab...

Metrics for Software Adaptability

This paper discusses our initial work in developing metrics for software adaptability. In this paper we have developed several metrics for software adaptability. One of the advantages of the metrics that we have developed is that they are applicable at the architectural level. Since architecture development is the first stage of the design process, the extent to which the architecture is adapta...

Dynamic Adaptability for Smart Environments

Software reuse and hardware integration are key factors to offer flexible, low-cost smart environments. Until now, we have been using a static process called the SCD-process to allow a tool-supported realization of such smart environments. The SCD-process is comprised of three different phases: specification, configuration, and deployment. As an initially specified environment is expected to ch...
