Guidelines for Concept of Settlement Design with Digital Infrastructure Facilities

Digital information support for concept design

This paper outlines the issues in effective utilisation of digital resources in conceptual design. Access to appropriate information acts as stimuli and can lead to better substantiated concepts. This paper addresses the issues of presenting such information in a digital form for effective use, exploring digital libraries and groupware as relevant literature areas, and argues that improved inte...

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...

An Artificial-Gravity Space-Settlement Ground-Analogue Design Concept

The design concept of a modular and extensible hypergravity facility is presented. Several benefits of this facility are described including that the facility is suitable as a fullscale artificial-gravity space-settlement ground analogue for humans, animals, and plants for indefinite durations. The design is applicable as an analogue for on-orbit settlements as well as those on moons, asteroids...

Digital government security infrastructure design challenges - Computer

Information security pervades all such needs. In a DG environment, secure interoperation ensures confidentiality when individuals, private organizations, and government agencies access information. Electronic transactions and delivery systems must be secure to ensure protection against fraud and other vulnerabilities. The government’s archived information should be protected from tampering yet ...
