Mathematical models play an increasingly important role in science and engineering. In this paper, we present the WoM , a platform for building up knowledge repositories for searching, exploring, combining, and sharing such models. In contrast to similar efforts, WoM supports a well-defined semi-structured representation for mathematical models, which acts as a solid foundation for intelligent ...

The design of hybrid systems usually involves engineers from a number of di erent engineering disciplines Hence speci cation techniques are needed that can intuitively be understood by people from all these engineering communities Furthermore a formal foundation for these techniques in necessary to prohibit ambiguities which may be fatal in the safety critical environment of many hybrid systems...

This paper presents the theoretical and practical fundamentals of using physiology sensors to capture human emotion reactivity in a products or systems engineering context.We aim to underline the complexity of regulating (internal and external) effects on the human body and highly individual physiological (emotion) responses and provide a starting point for engineering researchers entering the ...

failure of the quay walls due to earthquakes results in severe economic loss. because of hazards threatening such inexpensive nodes of national and international transportation networks, seismic design of quay walls is still an evolving topic in marine structural engineering. this study investigates the sensitivity of the gravity-type quay wall stability respect to uncertain soil and seismic pr...
