We present a method for calculation of my­ opic value of information in influence dia­ grams (Howard & Matheson, 1981) based on the strong junction tree framework (Jensen et al., 1994). An influence diagram specifies a certain or­ der of observations and decisions through its structure. This order is reflected in the corre­ sponding junction trees by the order in which the nodes are marginalize...

A pressure-based implicit procedure to solve the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations on a nonorthogonal mesh with collocated finite volume formulation is described. The boundedness criteria for this procedure are determined from Normalized Variable diagram (NVD) scheme.The procedure incorporates the ε−k eddy-viscosity turbulence model. The algorithm is tested for inviscid and turbulent transonic ...

This document describes use cases and documents call flows that require the History-Info header field to capture the Request-URIs as a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Request is retargeted. The use cases are described along with the corresponding call flow diagrams and messaging details.

Most system engineers today use graphical representations of a system to communicate its functional and data requirements. The most commonly used representations are the Function Flow Block Diagram (FFBD), Data Flow Diagram (DFD), N2 Chart, IDEF0 Diagram, and Behavior Diagram (BD). This paper discusses the characteristics of each and shows how they are related. When analyzed in the context of s...

The paper presents the findings of a survey of 40 microsystems companies that was carried out to determine the use and the purpose of use of media forms and information flow models within these companies. These companies as ‘product-service systems’ delivered integrated products and services to realise customer solutions. Data collection was carried out by means of an online survey over 3 month...

A new generalized Voronoi diagram is defined on the surface of a river with unifonn flow; a point belongs to the territory of a site if and only if a boat starting from the site can reach the point faster than a boat starting from any other site. If the river runs slower than the boat, the Voronoi diagram can be obtained from the ordinary Voronoi diagram by a certain transformation, whereas if ...

A unified description of networked dynamical systems, entitled multiport diagram, is proposed in this paper. The multiport diagram is an object-oriented model structure described into a general mathematical framework, independently from any computer language. It is shown that usual diagrammatic representations of networks, e.g. block diagrams, signal flow graphs, compartmental networks and bond...

Cochrane systematic reviews are conducted and reported according to rigorous standards. A study flow diagram must be included in a new review, and there is clear guidance from the PRISMA statement on how to do this. However, for a review update, there is currently no guidance on how study flow diagrams should be presented. To address this, a working group was formed to find a solution and produ...
