Due to the widespread applications of fiber reinforced polymer composites in various industries, the machining of these materials to reach the desired shapes, close tolerances and surface finish quality is of great importance. But the composite materials are anisotropic and are mostly prepared in laminated form and, therefore, they have special chip formation behaviour. Among the effective para...

Active participation of diverse stakeholders such as consumers or experts in service engineering is critical. It ensures that relevant aspects of service quality, service acceptance and service compliance are addressed. However, coordination of diverse stakeholder inputs is difficult and their collaborative creation of common design artifacts demands novel engineering solutions. We present a se...

A growing number of countries worldwide are recognising a common need to build systemic capacity for safeguarding and improving quality of health care. Each country has a unique set of priorities and dynamics driving the speed and the substance of the quality agenda, constrained by the reality of the availability and distribution of resources. While acknowledging the considerable variation in c...
