2. 1. Operation Specification for Sequence Planning and Automation Design

   Author : Kristofer Bengtsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : When designing an automation system, an important challenge is to specify the different tasks, or operations, of the system. This has become a problematic bottle-neck in industry, since the rising needs on manufacturing flexibility increases the complexity of the entire manufacturing system, as well as its control function.

4. 2. Using Formal Methods for Product and Production Development -- Industrial Applications for Boolean Satisfiability Solvers

   Author : Alexey Voronov; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Formal Methods; Industrial Automation; Boolean Satisfiability; Product and Production Development;

   Abstract : Highly customized products and frequent changes in the production systems pose high demands on engineers. The amount of data and the complexity of the relations within the data are high. Thus, it is both error-prone and time consuming to analyze the data without software support. READ MORE

5. 3. Risk and Vulnerability Analysis of Interdependent Technical Infrastructures: Addressing Socio-Technical Systems

   Abstract : The society of today is highly dependent on technical infrastructures. Several incidents around the world the last decades have clearly highlighted the major effects technical infrastructure breakdowns have on life, health and economy of society. READ MORE

6. 4. A Conceptual Model for Analysis of Automation Usability Problems in Control Room Settings

   Author : Jonas Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human-machine systems; control rooms; cognitive systems engineering; nuclear power; levels of automation; usability problems;

   Abstract : The focus of this licentiate thesis lies on the problems that can emerge when humans and advanced control systems work together in control room environments. In the nuclear domain, automation is used extensively and it is important to maintain safe and efficient operations. READ MORE

7. 5. Microfluidic Methods for Protein Microarrays

   Author : Michael Hartmann; Johan Roeraade; Mike Taussig; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : Protein microarray technology has an enormous potential for in vitro diagnostics (IVD)1. Miniaturized and parallelized immunoassays are powerful tools to measure dozens of parameters from minute amounts of sample, whilst only requiring small amounts of reagent. READ MORE
