  2. 1. Designing for Robustness

    Author : Torben Hasenkamp; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Design for Six Sigma; tools; noise factors; Designing for robustness; Robust Design Methodology; practices; principles;

    Abstract : Today many companies are struggling with issues related to unwanted variation. Even though Robust Design Methodology (RDM) and Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) are suitable approaches of counteracting such issues there are few industrial applications documented. READ MORE

  4. 2. A Formal Approach for Designing Distributed Self-Adaptive Systems

    Author : Didac Gil de la Iglesia; Danny Weyns; Marcelo Milrad; Jesper Andersson; Luciano Baresi; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Self-Adaptive systems; Formal Methods; MAPE-K; Robustness; Openness; Mobile Learning; Computer Science; Datavetenskap; Media Technology; Medieteknik;

    Abstract : Engineering contemporary distributed software applications is a challenging task due to the dynamic operating conditions in which these systems have to function. Examples are dynamic availability of resources, errors that are difficult to predict, and changing user requirements. READ MORE

  5. 3. Enabling and Achieving Self-Management for Large Scale Distributed Systems : Platform and Design Methodology for Self-Management

    Author : Ahmad Al-Shishtawy; Vladimir Vlassov; Seif Haridi; Peter Van Roy; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Autonomic Computing; Self-Management; Distributed Systems; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Autonomic computing is a paradigm that aims at reducing administrative overhead by using autonomic managers to make applications self-managing. To better deal with large-scale dynamic environments; and to improve scalability, robustness, and performance; we advocate for distribution of management functions among several cooperative autonomic managers that coordinate their activities in order to achieve management objectives.

  6. 4. Maximum a posteriori deconvulution of ultrasonic data with applications in nondestructive testing : Multiple transducer and robustness is

    Author : Tomas Olofsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Ultrasonic pulse-echo testing; nondestructive testing; maximum a posteriori estimation; linear minimum mean squared error estimation; robust filtering; multivariable filtering; sparse deconvolution; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Signal Processing; signalbehandling;

    Abstract : In the thesis, various aspects of deconvolution of ultrasonic pulse-echo signals in nondestructive testing are treated. The deconvolution problem is formulated as estimation of a reflection sequence which is the impulse characteristic of the inspected object and the estimation is performed using either maximum a posteriori (MAP) or linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimators.

  7. 5. Towards improvement of geometrical quality for manual assembly parts

    Author : Mikael Rosenqvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; calculation model; geometry system; Interview; assessment; action cost.; assembly; error; ergonomics; assembly complexity; design for assembly; robust design; complexity; manual assembly; sustainable; tolerance analysis and design; CAT; quality; failure; action cost; assembly ergonomics;

    Abstract : Geometrical variation affects all mass-produced products. This variation will lead to deviations from the nominal design of the product both in terms of aesthetical and functional properties. Geometrical variation originates either from the manufacturing of the parts or from the assembly process.
