Splines, which were invented by Schoenberg more than fifty years ago, constitute an elegant framework for dealing with interpolation and discretization problems. They are widely used in computer-aided design and computer graphics, but have been neglected i ...
The selection of an hybrid MSF/RO desalination plant depends on many factors, such as capital costs, electricity consumption, water conversion rate and local requirements. In order to provide the necessary information for the decision process, stand-alone ...
Enterprise Architecture (EA) requires modeling enterprises across multiple levels (from markets down to IT systems) i.e. modeling hierarchical systems. Our goal is to build a Computer Aided Design (CAD) tool for EA. To be able to build this CAD tool, we ne ...
This paper presents an original methodology for Enterprise Architecture. Enterprise Architecture is the discipline whose purpose is to align more effectively the strategies of enterprises together with their processes and their resources (business and IT). ...
The organization of refurbishment is a complex problem involving both physical and social constraints. Our purpose is to develop a computer aided tool to schedule renovation tasks. This paper presents an original methodology to generate and schedule renova ...
Future computer-aided-design (CAD) systems will be not only smart, but also efficient in terms of solution strategies as well as time costs. The authors present a problem-solving paradigm, namely case-based reasoning (CBR), and show how it solves some cons ...
This paper presents the modeling strategy developed for the design of a planar solid oxide fuel cell repeat element. Design goal are to reach good performance (power density) and reliability (ie. limit risk of failure and degradation). This challenging pro ...
Miniaturized, integrated sensors and actuators called microsystems are a rapidly growing field with great future potential. In order to promote their use further, specialists must make them more accessible to system designers at all stages of development. ...
In this project, we intend to use inkjet-based delivery of functional liquid droplets on pre-structured surfaces for the directed (self-)assembly of micro/nano-objects as experimental platform to build up and validate multi-level models of micro-droplet de ...
