Organized around a holistic design approach, this class examined the synthetic relationship between performance and design in addressing issues of sustainability in the built environment. The workshop introduced the theories behind a resource-efficient bui ...
Fixed-order controller design for LTI-SISO polytopic systems is investigated using rank deficiency constraint on the controller Sylvester resultant matrix. It is shown that the non-convexity of fixed-order controller design problem can be gathered in a ran ...
The European railway sector has undergone major transformations over the past two decades. Domestic reforms have been buttressed by European directives aimed at creating a single European railway market. In this new environment roles have been significantl ...
Just about every other technical publication you pick up these days makes sweeping statements concerning the pressures on scientists, engineers, and industries as a whole to get to market in less time, with an improved, less expensive product. I am reminde ...
Tuning tools attempt to configure a database to achieve optimal performance for a given workload. Selecting an optimal set of physical structures is computationally hard since it involves searching a vast space of possible configurations. Commercial DBMSs ...
This paper presents an analysis and design method for the current control of a series connected multilevel converter with interleaved switching. Based on a conventional design method for the parameters of a PI controller, the variable response of a current ...
This paper investigates different design strategies and process layouts for upgrading crude synthetic natural gas (SNG) produced from lignocellulosic biomass to grid quality. The design problem is outlined by studying the involved key aspects with respect ...
The use of requirements engineering (RE) in industry is hampered by a poor understanding of its practices and their benefits. Teaching RE at the university level is therefore an important endeavor. Shortly before students become engineers and enter the wor ...
In this paper, a formal engineering design synthesis methodology based on evolutionary computation is presented, with special emphasis on the design and optimization of distributed independent systems. A case study concerned with design of a sensory system ...
The articulation of practice and theory is a central problematic in a dual apprenticeship system that combines working in a company and attending courses at school. Design problems are proposed by teachers as a way to address theoretical concepts in a prac ...
