Polling systems have important applications to Telecommunication Systems, Data Link Protocols, Local Area Computer Networks, Flexible Manufacturing Systems, etc. As such they have been the subject of extensive research in recent years, most notably in the context of cyclic queues. The focus of much of this research has been on evaluating performance measures of fixed-template routing schemes wi...

Development processes of large-scale automation systems, e.g., power plants and manufacturing systems involve engineers from various disciplines, e.g., mechanical, electrical, and software engineers, who have to collaborate to enable the construction of high-quality systems (Biffl et al., 2009a). Engineers in individual disciplines apply domainspecific tools, methods, and data models, which are...

Problem statement: This study described the process and experience of designing and developing an embedded systems first course that serves different disciplines at the University of Jordan together with its associated laboratory. The course serves three different departments with varying requirements and varying student initial background. The stages of the design process of the course and ass...

The Agile Development approach to systems development is the new fundamental for developers. Twelve Principles supporting Manifesto were elaborated in support. Hence team always has look towards identifying and proposing appropriate reference disciplines which are manifest Universe of Discourse. evokes some support its various aspects. Why it desirable necessary search such disciplines? answer ...

Paper passes the judgement of concepts of management disciplines and the engineering disciplines directed to trade-off (negotiation) with risks that have been used with aim to ensure the safety of buildings, territories and human communities considered as systems. Individual concepts of these disciplines fulfil different goals, are based on various assumptions, have different demands on knowled...

Systems thinking is the art of understanding interconnections between various disciplines thereby unwinding the existing complexity. Most of the real world problems are complex, take for the example the increasing dependency rate on food banks. While various factors contribute towards it, not much has been done to bring the take off the number of dependents. By viewing this system from a holist...
