A semantic model-based systems engineering approach for assessing the operational performance of metal forming process

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Jinzhi Lu, Xiaochen Zheng

Metal Forming is a basic and essential industrial process to provide materials for constructing complex products. To design an efficient metal forming process, the functional requirements and operational performance are two important aspects to be consider ...

A Conceptual Framework for Integrating Conversational Agents in Digital Education

Juan Carlos Farah

The presence of conversational agents (or chatbots) in educational contexts has been steadily increasing over the past few years. Recent surveys have shown widespread interest in the use of chatbots in education, both for research and practice. Although th ...

The arrow-of-time in neuroimaging time series identifies causal triggers of brain function

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thomas William Arthur Bolton, Maria Giulia Preti, Enrico Amico, Raphaël Pierre Liégeois

Moving from association to causal analysis of neuroimaging data is crucial to advance our understanding of brain function. The arrow-of-time (AoT), that is, the known asymmetric nature of the passage of time, is the bedrock of causal structures shaping phy ...

OASIS: Optimisation-based Activity Scheduling with Integrated Simultaneous choice dimensions

Michel Bierlaire, Timothy Michael Hillel, Janody Pougala

Activity-based models offer the potential of a far deeper understanding of daily mobility behaviour than trip-based models. However, activity-based models used both in research and practice have often relied on applying sequential choice models between sub ...

Risk of incorrect choices due to uncertainty in BPS evaluations of conceptual-stage neighbourhood-scale building designs

Marilyne Andersen, Luisa Pastore, Minu Agarwal

At the conceptual stage, building performance simulation (BPS) based evaluations are being increasingly used for tasks such as ranking of competing massing design proposals. However, such conceptual stage evaluations suffer from information deficiency in b ...

Model-based Systems Engineering Papers Analysis based on Word Cloud Visualization

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Jinzhi Lu, Xiaochen Zheng

With the continuous improvement of system scale and complexity, model-based system engineering (MBSE) is of great importance in the practice of system engineering (SE). MBSE has been widely concerned in industry, especially in the field of complex equipmen ...

Design Ontology Supporting Model-Based Systems Engineering Formalisms

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Jinzhi Lu, Xiaochen Zheng, Han Li

Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) provides an important capability for managing the complexities of system development. MBSE empowers the formalism of system architectures for supporting model-based requirement elicitation, specification, design, deve ...

Max-infinitely divisible models and inference for spatial extremes

Emeric Rolland Georges Thibaud, Raphaël Huser

For many environmental processes, recent studies have shown that the dependence strength is decreasing when quantile levels increase. This implies that the popular max-stable models are inadequate to capture the rate of joint tail decay, and to estimate jo ...

Systems Engineering Approach to Identify Requirements for Digital Twins Development

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Jinzhi Lu, Xiaochen Zheng, Ali Gharaei

Digital Twins (DT) are proposed in industries to support the entire lifecycle of services with different perspectives. Lack of systematic analysis of DT concepts leads to various definitions and services which challenges the DT developers for data integrat ...

A Novel Approach to Modeling Enterprise Services Leveraging Object Cloning and Multilevel Classification

Alain Wegmann, Lam Son Lê

Object-oriented modeling is concerned with capturing common properties of objects. The dominant thinking in this realm is to classify objects that share certain properties into what is called a class, which in turn enables us to instantiate additional obje ...
