  2. 11. Design Optimization in Industrial Robotics : Methods and Algorithms for Drive Train Design

    Author : Marcus Pettersson; Johan Ölvander (Andersson); Torgny Brogårdh; Jorge Angeles; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robot manufacturers; industrial robot; robot design; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

    Abstract : Robot manufacturers, like many other manufacturers, are experiencing increasing competition in a global market where one way to confront the challenge is by making the development process more efficient. One way to speed up the time to market for new products is to take advantage of design optimization based on simulation models. READ MORE

  4. 12. Software Design Conflicts : Maintainability versus Performance and Availability

    Author : Daniel Häggander; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; object-oriented applications; design conflicts; performance; availability;

    Abstract : A major goal in software engineering is to reduce the cost of maintaining software systems. Finding design methods which make software more easily maintainable has thus been one of the most prioritized challenges during the past decade. While mainstream software design has concentrated on maintainability, other software disciplines e.g. READ MORE

  5. 13. Essays on Sample Surveys : Design and Estimation

    Author : Edgar Bueno; Per Gösta Andersson; Maria Giovanna Ranalli; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; GREG estimator; mixture distribution; probability proportional to size sampling; sampling algorithms; sampling design; sampling strategy; survey sampling; stratified sampling; Statistics; statistik;

    Abstract : Sampling is a core stage in every survey. A sampling design carefully elaborated may imply not only a more accurate estimation of the parameters of interest, but also a reduction in the required sample size in a study. In this thesis we consider two particular but connected subjects. READ MORE

  6. 14. Practical Optimal Experimental Design in Drug Development and Drug Treatment using Nonlinear Mixed Effects Models

    Author : Joakim Nyberg; Andrew C. Hooker; Mats O. Karlsson; Sergei Leonov; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacometrics; optimal design; nonlinear mixed effects models; robust design; optimizing drug development; population models; Pharmacokinetics and Drug Therapy; Farmakokinetik och läkemedelsterapi;

    Abstract : The cost of releasing a new drug on the market has increased rapidly in the last decade. The reasons for this increase vary with the drug, but the need to make correct decisions earlier in the drug development process and to maximize the information gained throughout the process is evident.

  7. 15. On the Fundamentals of the Engineering Design Process

    Author : Damien Motte; Innovation; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; systems theory; design theory; engineering design; product development; problem solving; creativity; machine design; maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : In an industrial context when the product development cycles are shortened and constraints on technical innovations are high, it is very important to provide a very efficient and effective engineering design activity. In the current engineering design literature, most methodologies are by and large based on the so-called systematic engineering design approach. READ MORE
