in a robust parameter design (rpd) problem, the experimenter is interested to determine the values of con-trol factors such that responses will be robust or insensitive to variability of the noise factors. response sur-face methodology (rsm) is one of the effective methods that can be employed for this purpose. since quality of products or processes is usually evaluated through several quality ...

Information System Design (ISD) applies information technology to achieve desired ends in organizations and implies many technology choices to be made. A successful design of information systems addresses the different views of all its stakeholders in these decisions. If we consider that sub-part of an IS that is intended to assist in customer processes, a purposeful assessment of the preferenc...

Advanced services have caught the attention of industries and academics as a way to exploit new customer value propositions. However, existing design methodologies for advanced are limited partially addressing one or some key elements, hence causing confusion in practice. Moreover, human factors not often addressed, even though requires human-centered thinking. Aiming advance body research, cur...

A prototype software system that implements a methodology for the strategic planning of survivable interoffice networks is presented. The software system determines strategic locations and ring types for Synchronous Optical Network ring placement. Two types of survivable network architectures are considered-1 : 1 diverse protection and SONET self-healing rings. The software considers three type...

This paper presents a methodology for software analysis and design and an associated graph based representation The methodology addresses the speci cation of both static and dynamic aspects of an application The representation includes object oriented data modeling features The speci cations are modular reusable and adaptive that is reper cussions from underlying model modi cations are limited ...

In micro mechanics, there exist extensive activities making products and systems available according to customer’s needs in large-batch and medium-sized production. The predominant research effort concentrates on the constitution and optimisation of the processes for production, manipulation and quality assurance. An aspect how to reach the optimal function of a product in compliance with the r...
