Issues in characterizing heterogeneity and connectivity in non-multiGaussian media

Ivan Lunati

The performances of kriging, stochastic simulations and sequential self-calibration inversion are assessed when characterizing a non-multiGaussian synthetic 2D braided channel aquifer. The comparison is based on a series of criteria such as the reproductio ...

Decision-based methods for early phase sustainable product design

Paul Xirouchakis, Razvan Alexandru Gheorghe

This paper presents a new method for evaluating product designs at their early stage of development according to different criteria and a case-study-based project. The goal is to select among imprecisely defined design alternatives in a multicriteria conte ...

Development of a collaborative conceptual desing support system

Duck Young Kim

Most of the life cycle cost of a product can be pre-determined by the end of the conceptual design phase, which begins with the establishment of a function structure by decomposing an overall function into a set of sub-functions. However, today's products ...

Investment decisions with flexibility under uncertainty in the competitive electricity supply industry

Jun Dong

The restructuring of the electricity supply industry (ESI) has introduced new actors and market mechanisms. Electricity prices are more market oriented and fluctuate greatly. These changes bring about more uncertainties and risks to the market participants ...

Evaluation of a Web-based learning environment for Hands-on experimentation

Denis Gillet, Anh Vu Nguyen Ngoc, Stéphane Sire

The evaluation of learning environments depends highly on the evaluation instruments used and on the position of the evaluation in the design cycle. In this article, we present a use-case report of a summative evaluation of a Web-based learning environment ...

Gestion biomimétique de l'énergie dans le bâtiment

Manuel Bauer

The efficient thermal control of buildings is a complex problem. Non controlled perturbations like user behaviour and meteorological conditions can change much with time and make this task difficult. This work proposes considering the building as a 'living ...
