This paper describes an investigation of a role-based Design Performance Measurement (DPM) matrix that incorporates design performance measures with three design team role-players: the top design manager, the middle design manager and the designer. Based on the author’s previous research, a DPM matrix combining 25 criteria was developed to support DPM operation during a design process. A questi...

In this paper a fast analytical algorithm for design a surface-mounted PM Brushless DC motor (SMPM-BLDC) for variable-speed application based on electromagnetic field analysis and RSM optimization algorithm is discussed. To achieve the desired performance, the physical dimensions of the proposed SMPM-BLDC motor subject to minimal ripple torque utilizing RSM optimization algorithm were optimized...

Telecommunications systems were among the first to use modeling and analysis to improve designs. Since those early days, researchers have made many advances in the technology and tools. Performance models have been successfully applied to a variety of other computer systems design problems. When we consider the current state of the art and state of the practice, are we satisfied with the result...
