ABSTRACT: The writing process has been described in several ways, where the central parts are planning, text generation and revision (Hayes, 1996) in some way (Carey and Flower, 1989). Solving problems can be viewed as representing the problem space and finding a path in that space (Hayes and Nash, 1996). That representation can be done with object orientation (OO). OO is a paradigm in software...

One way to make engineering design effective and efficient is to make its processes flexible – i.e. self-adjusting, self-configuring, and selfoptimizing at run time. This chapter presents the descriptive part of the Dynamic Engineering Design Process (DEDP) modeling framework developed in the PSI1 project. The project aims to build a software tool to assist managers to analyze and enhance the p...

Current works on process-oriented tolerancing for multi-station manufacturing processes (MMPs) have been mainly focused on allocating fixture tolerances to ensure part quality specifications at a minimum manufacturing cost. Some works have also included fixture maintenance policies into the tolerance allocation problem since they are related to both manufacturing cost and final part quality. Ho...

With the emerging concept of model transformation, information can be extracted from one or more source models to produce the target models. The conversion of these models can be done automatically with specific transformation languages. This conversion requires mapping between both models with the help of dynamic hash tables. Hash tables store reference links between the elements of the source...

although, single-sided linear induction motor (slim) utilization has increased in railway applications due to their numerous advantages in comparison to rotational induction motors (rim), there are some sophistication in their mathematical models and electrical drive. this paper focuses on the problems of slim modeling, with assuming end-effect on the basis of field oriented control (foc) as a ...

The evolution of software engineering has passed through various paradigms; including structured programming, object oriented programming, component-based approaches and in recent years service-oriented computing. One of the key activities needed to develop a quality service oriented solution is the specification of service model. The majority of existing methods for service model specification...

We present a formal model of negotiation between autonomous agents. The purpose of the negotiation is to reach an agreement about the provision of a service by one agent for another. The model defines a range of strategies and tactics that agents can employ to generate initial offers, evaluate proposals and offer counter proposals. The model is based on computationally tractable assumptions and...

Aspect extraction is a task to abstract the common properties of objects from corpora discussing them, such as reviews of products. Recent work on aspect extraction is leveraging the hierarchical relationship between products and their categories. However, such effort focuses on the aspects of child categories but ignores those from parent categories. Hence, we propose an LDA-based generative t...
