When designing a plant for continuous or semi-continuous processes, such as paper pulp or petrochemical production systems, engineers face very complex tasks, which are only in pa...
Abstract. Software engineering describes a system at different levels of abstraction. Agent-oriented software engineering introduces a new level, called the agent level, to allow t...
Conceptual design dominates the early stages of most creative design processes. During these stages, the designer makes important decisions about the parameters of a model that ar...
To compare the outcomes of participatory and user-centered contextual design, case study methods and the Activity Checklist derived from Activity Theory are used to analyze two sy...
The di culty of embedded system co-design is increasing rapidly due to the increasing complexity of individual parts, the variety of parts available and pressure to use multiple p...
