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...
While SOAP/XML is perceived as the appropriate interoperability level for web-services, companies compete to provide workflow-based tools for web-service integration. This paper p...
This paper presents a knowledge-intensive support paradigm for platform-based product family design and development. The fundamental issues underlying the product family design an...
This paper describes and exercises a new design paradigm for cast components. The methodology integrates foundry process simulation, non-destructive evaluation (nde), stress analys...
Abstract: Modeling of modern production plants often requires that the system provides means to cope with frequent changes in topology and equipment and can easily be adapted to ne...
