Most civil structures are passive and static. They are designed according to serviceability and safety requirements. When subjected to actions, they generally deflect in a passive manner. For example, they do not adapt actively to external loading. A more ...
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can only operate successfully if selection and training of personnel is carried out in a systematic, theoretically sound way. Given the increasing responsibility of operators working in the control room, a scientifi ...
As part of a 15-year railway noise remediation plan, 300km of noise barriers will be installed in Switzerland over the next few years. To enable pultruded glass fiber- reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials to be used for the noise barrier posts, a specificat ...
Online experiments have been available for more than a decade. The integration of online experiments to collaborative environments is more recent. The wealth of client application/environments, the versatility of possible interaction protocols/technologies ...
The purpose of this work is to develop a decision support tool, which will systemically assess the advantages of hybrid desalination configurations (integration between thermal and membrane technologies) by investigating and optimizing these configurations ...
This paper describes the methodology used to transform the 2001 Swiss SAM devised at ETH Zürich and align it to the requirements of the GEMINI-E3 model which is based on the GTAP database. ...
Understanding stakeholders’ needs is necessary to design requirements for organizations and IT systems. We present a systemic modeling method to identify and categorize stakeholders within value networks, to analyze the relationships between these value ne ...
This paper presents a top-down approach to the design of all-silicon CMOS-based fully integrated optical receivers. From the system-level requirements, we determine the optimum block-level specifications, based on which the individual building blocks are d ...
Creativity is about bringing unforeseen change to habitual ways of doing things. Understanding the challenges of introducing innovation in organizations is, therefore, essential during the requirements phase of today’s computer systems design projects. How ...
A communication-centric design approach, Networks on Chips (NoCs), has emerged as the design paradigm for designing a scalable communication infrastructure for future Systems on Chips (SoCs). As technology advances, the number of applications or use-cases ...
