Design of complex electronic systems requires often collaboration of engineers who work in remote locations. This collaboration enabled by the network needs to be supported by seamless and secure integration of distributed design tools. The paper presents a web services-based environment enabling integration of distributed design tools. It is based on TRMS (Tool Registration and Management Serv...

The development of new approaches in image processing and retrieval provides several opportunities in supporting in different domains. The group of welding engineers frequently needs to conduct visual inspections to assess the quality of weldings. It is investigated, if this process can be supported by different kinds of software. A generic CBIR system has been successfully used to sort welding...

Traffic signals are a very important instrument to manage urban traffic. When designing traffic signal programs, many different goals and road user needs have to be considered. While traffic engineers must ensure the technical planning, implementation and operation of traffic signals, their work must be supported by a clear policy. One of the major questions to be answered within such traffic s...

— This paper presents a magnetic circuit modeling of closed loop Hall-effect current sensors based on a magnetic equivalent circuit which could be simulated with a circuit type simulator software (PSPICE model). First, the principle of measurement of the closed loop Hall-effect current sensors is presented, Then, the magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) modeling justified by the engineers' model n...

The purpose of this study is to identify the ERP competencies which are important to industry. A content analysis of IT job web sites was used to develop a list of core competencies for positions as ERP project managers, business analysts, programmer analysts, application developers, auditors, security administrators, system administrators, quality assurance engineers, trainers, database admini...

The number of computer-supported jobs is constantly increasing. Now ISO 13407 requires an engineering process that focuses on the user’s needs. In the last decades objectorientation became a common standard in software-engineering, which is characterised by an encapsulation from methods and data in objects and by an iterative process. This object-oriented engineering-process and the new ISO-nor...

An international workshop on metrology for X-ray and neutron optics, the first of its kind, was held March 16-17, 2000, at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. Engineers and scientists from around the world met to evaluate current metrology instrumentation and methods used to characterize the surface figure and finish of long, grazing-incidence optics used in synchrotron r...

Production management performance relies on data specified by engineers that are neither an economists nor production planners. Therefore, production planning and control becomes a complex task. This paper presents a method where engineer's task is not to make decisions but rather to prepare a "road map". Each user will generate routine that meets his needs at the time of need by using KBMS CAP...

Delivery of infrastructure in Australia is increasingly challenged by shortages professional civil engineers. It therefore imperative to investigate their career optimism. Through the lens theory work adjustment, we expand upon previous research on this topic. We identify significance occupational and organizational values needs, commitment, emphasizing both individual factors. From a nationwid...

Hydraulic structures are man-made waterworks interacting with the rainfall run-off to store and convey water, or mitigate impact of run-off. Current approaches in hydraulic structure design tend be conservative, not much differing from ancient designs. Modern often designed based upon simplistic concepts optimize their performances. However, today’s engineers must embrace a number new challenge...
