Rapid software prototyping is an iterative software development methodology aimed at improving the analysis, design, and development of proposed systems. This paper describes rapid prototyping at the system and 'software levels and reviews the characteristics of computeraided prototyping. We then describe the state-of-the-art in rapid prototyping and discuss technologies that improve the future...

Der Beitrag beschreibt das Rapid Prototyping ereignisdiskreter Steuerungen. Während des Entwurfsprozesses wird mit dem Petrinetz-Zustandsraum-Modell (PNZRM) eine auf S/T-Netzen beruhende hybride Modellform genutzt. Mit Netlab steht ein Aufsatz für Matlab/Simulink zur Verfügung, der die Beschreibung ausführbarer ereignisdiskreter Modelle unterstützt und so innerhalb der Entwurfsumgebung die Mode...

To improve the market competitiveness of enterprises in the manufacturing industry, some of them involve picking the most appropriate strategies among multiple available alternatives. However, no single alternative works is suitable for all evaluation criteria which must be considered during the selection processes. This paper proposes a new hybrid MCDM method using design of experiment (DoE) a...

The usefulness of applications which support cooperative work depends in its very nature on the way the cooperative work practice is organised. At the same time, the adoption of new technology is difficult and complex because of the amount of people involved and their distribution in time and space. This paper explores the possibilities of addressing this adoption process in a more simplified, ...
