At the same time, agile software development is strongly built upon communication between engineers and has proven its benefits, although, mostly on one single site. As such, it might be ad...

In this paper we present a new method for analyzing and developing the hypoid gears in order to improve their constructive and technological particularities.. The first part describes the methodologies for optimization the backlash. Then, the variation of the normal vectors and curvature is analyzed in the neighbourhood of the contact point. In the final part is presented a method for modelling...

Technological innovation can be highly instrumental in achieving sustainable development. How well does technology innovation research address the needs of sustainable development and in what directions does this research need to move to usher in sustainable development? We use co-word analysis in existing research publications to map the intellectual structure of the field of ‘strategic techno...

The reasons for flaws of technological development at present are pointed out. Examples from complex projects like in telecommunication, transportation, or Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport (EDIFACT) are giving insight. The change of actors of the past intensifies tremendously the difficulties given by globalization and complexity of new systems for developi...
