Project management has been consolidated into organizations due to its high added value, allowing that project results are delivered on time, budget, scope and quality. This is specially important for ICT projects, for which innovation is usually present. For such, the correct resource allocation, and effective management require application of project management techniques and tools. In this s...

* This work is supported by the Commission of the European Union (Project no. G3RD CT199-00058) Abstract The growing importance of on-board diagnosis for automobiles demands for a close integration of diagnostic tasks in the entire design process. This report describes work carried out to date within the European project „Integrated Design Process for onboard Diagnosis„ (IDD). It presents an an...

Evaluation and improvement of drug management process is essential for patient safety. The present study was performed whit the aim of assessing risk of drug management process in Women Surgery Department of QEH using HFMEA method in 2013. A mixed method was used to analys failure modes and their effects with HFMEA. To classify failure modes; nursing errors in clinical management model, for cla...

We present requirements and success criteria for the realworld problem of (off-board) diagnosis of the hydraulic circuit of an anti-lock braking system. The primary problems to be addressed are quite fundamental: First, it is practically impossible to predict the dynamic behavior of this controlled automotive system as it depends on a number of unknown context conditions. Second, there are no d...

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a widely used quality improvement and risk assessment tool in manufacturing. Design and process failures recorded through FMEA provides valuable knowledge for future product and process design. However, the way the knowledge is captured poses considerable difficulties for reuse. This research aims to contribute to the reuse of FMEA knowledge through a ...

The development of safety critical systems becomes even harder since the complexity of these systems grows continuously. Moreover, this kind of process involves the use of powerful design methods and precise reliability techniques that utilize dissimilar models and construction policy. In this article we propose a method to unify and enhance this process by linking functional design phase using...

It has been suggested that goal-directed actions performed under full vision are immune to certain visual illusions, while movements relying on perception-based visual information are deceived by them (Milner & Goodale, 1995). Consequently, pointing movements should be deceived by visual illusions when a delay is introduced (memory demands) or when antipointing (spatial imagery) is required. In...
