One of the key outcomes of blasting in mines is found to be rock fragmentation which profoundly affects downstream expenses. In fact, size prediction of rock fragmentation is the first leap towards the optimization of blasting design parameters. This paper makes an attempt to present a model to predict rock fragmentation using Mutual Information (MI) in Meydook copper mine. Ten parameters are c...

In this note we deene a layering intended to structure the many concepts which arise in the development of an Engineering Information System. The industrial beneets to be gained by such a layering are enumerated. An Engineering Information System (EIS) is a collection of facilities and services that provide support for the design, testing, manufacture, and maintenance of engineering artifacts, ...

The pape~ aims to p~esent a CASE system which is an integ~ated compute~ aided tool so-called RUBIS, fo~ designing and p~ototyping Info~mation Systems. RUBIS is o~ganized a~ound the R-schema (RUBIS-schema), which is a decla~ative specification of the Info~mation System (IS) content, based on a conceptual model which emphasizes equally the IS st~uctu~e and behaviou~. Afte~ a b~ief ove~view of the...

Introduction: Requirements Engineering process is a crucial phase in software development. In order to achieve a successful design of health information systems (HISs), applying the best methodologies is essential. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to design pediatrics Epilepsy Information System (EPIS) as well as the use of triangulation approach in elicitation and validation of epil...
