The constant changes in governmental and customer requirements are forcing organizations to adapt in today’s dynamic market. Challenges such as international competition, increased cost pressure and efficient resource allocation are just a few examples of what organizations currently are facing. The need of managing business processes has become evident, as processes describes how well the organization is operating. Processes are no longer seen as just a tool, but as a way to visualize and standardize the organization in order to decrease variation and waste. With limited resources, ABB HVC has been working with business processes for over 20 years without any major influence since the competition has not required it. During the last three years the focus has shifted and business processes are now a hot topic. A stance has been taken and ABB HVC is now aiming to become a process-oriented organization. To become a process-oriented organization, ABB HVC needs a solid foundation built around processes. This project aims to satisfy a part of that foundation by designing a process for the technology department. As the technology department currently lacks a defined process, they cannot in a clear and visual way describe how they operate. Most of the time spent during this project, was focused on designing a functional process and to identify options for development. The research type of this project is a change focused research with an action research strategy. The selected approach is a design research methodology with qualitative data collection. In order to gather all the required information to complete the task, a literature review and an empirical analysis of ABB HVC were conducted. The result of this project was a process map describing the workflow and interactions of the technology department. An implementation plan, tools and suggested improvements have also been included in the report to provide the technology department with a strategy in how to continue the process work.Ständiga förändringar och krav från myndigheter och kunder tvingar organisationer att anpassa sig till dagens dynamiska marknad. Utmaningar som internationell konkurrens, ökat kostnadstryckt och en effektiv resursfördelning är bara några exempel på vad organisationer för närvarande står inför. Behovet av att hantera affärsprocesser har blivit uppenbart eftersom processerna beskriver hur väl organisationen fungerar. Processer ses inte längre som bara ett verktyg, utan som ett sätt att visualisera och standardisera organisationen för att minska variation och slöseri. Med begränsade resurser har ABB HVC arbetat med affärsprocesser i över 20 år utan någon större påverkan för att konkurrensen inte har krävt det. Under de senaste tre åren har fokus skiftat och affärsprocesser är nu ett hett samtalsämne. En ställning har tagits och ABB HVC siktar nu på att bli en processorienterad organisation. För att bli en processorienterad organisation behöver ABB HVC en stabil grund uppbyggd kring processer. Detta projekt syftar till att tillfredsställa en del av denna grund genom att utforma en process för teknikavdelningen. Eftersom teknikavdelningen idag saknar en definierad process kan de inte tydligt beskriva hur de arbetar. Merparten av tiden spenderat under detta projekt var inriktad på att utforma en fungerande process och att identifiera alternativ för utveckling. Forskningstypen för detta projekt är en förändringsfokuserad forskning med en aktionsforskningsstrategi. Det valda tillvägagångssättet är att använda design research metodiken med kvalitativ datainsamling. För att samla in all den information som krävts för att slutföra uppgiften, har en litteraturstudie och en empirisk analys av ABB HVC utförts. Resultatet av detta projekt var en processkarta som beskriver arbetsflödet och interaktionerna för teknikavdelningen. En genomförandeplan, verktyg och förslag på förbättringar har också tagits med i rapporten för att ge teknikavdelningen en strategi för hur man ska fortsätta processarbetet.

The simultaneous solution of the optimal process variables and optimal processing materials for a separation system is considered in this work. The processing materials (or molecules) may include, amongst others, reaction medium solvents, catalysts and mass separating agents. In this thesis, the processing materials to be designed are restricted to pure component solvents that act as mass separating agents. The design of fluid-fluid separation systems at steady state is considered in this work. In the first part of the thesis, the process topology is fixed and the process variables are continuous whereas the molecular variables, used to describe the solvent, are discrete. The computer aided molecular and process design problem (CAMPD) is a challenging mixed integer nonlinear programming problem (MINLP). A deterministic optimization algorithm tailored to the CAMPD of separation systems is proposed. Novel tests are embedded within an iterative MINLP solution framework. The tests may eliminate infeasible regions of both the molecular and process domain. The algorithm is applied to a case study of separation of carbon dioxide and methane. In the second part of the thesis, the scenario where the process variables are both continuous and discrete is considered. Chemical process synthesis is the activity of determining the optimal process units and their connectivity in a process. Process synthesis is a highly combinatorial problem which is challenging, even with fixed material decisions. A formulation for process synthesis problems is presented which addresses numerical singularities that are encountered when a process unit is not selected. The computer aided molecular and process synthesis (CAMPS) problem is considered next where the degrees of freedom include material and process synthesis decisions. An algorithm for CAMPS is developed by extending the CAMPD algorithm. A CAMPS case study of separation of butanol and water is modelled using the process synthesis formulation developed in this thesis. The tests can eliminate infeasible portions of the molecular domain and both continuous and discrete process domains. Both the CAMPD and CAMPS algorithms proposed here avert evaluations of infeasible primal problems and enhance convergence to solutions of challenging design problems.

The need and demands within the automotive industry on quality systems and processes are high. The most widely spread document for quality control is the standard ISO/TS 16949. The aim with the APQP-process is to build the quality of the product and process for new designs or re-designs. The aim of this project is to find a customized, when it comes to the design process, APQP-process for Fuji Autotech with focus on the two first phases where most of the design activities are performed. This is done by studying the existing APQP-process at Fuji Autotech and comparing it with mainly the standard ISO/TS 16949, interviewing personnel at the company, and empirical studies of the process. The focus areas are therefore to find a process that suites the company and contribute to the academia by sharing experience to the University. Three issues where considered being of importance for the outcome of the project.
Question 1: Which factors are necessary to follow-up when assuring the quality of a project?
Question 2: How does the process for quality assuring a project look like today?
Question 3: How may the process for quality assurance of a project be optimized?
The result from this research project is two new process maps and a new APQP process flow for Fuji Autotech has been created. The studies performed, within this research project have identified the following key factors for obtaining a good quality.
- Existence of a management systems for quality
- Management responsibility
- Management of resources
- Product design
- Measure, Analyze and Improvement
- Fulfilment of customer needs
- Fulfilment of requirements

The aim of this project lied in the development of an Evolvable Process Design (EPD) reactor platform such that 'evolved' chemical reactions could be investigated for the first time. The development of this 'machine' would allow us to take small organic / inorganic building blocks and use them to prepare any theoretical compound with any theoretical property that is determined by the 'machine'. One of the essential components required were building blocks that can reversibly react under various conditions until a product with a desired property has been evolved. As we were developing a proof-of-principle EPD, we at Warwick concentrated on synthesizing a library of uniquely coloured imine products to prove a desired coloured imine could be evolved in the 'machine'. For this we first required a suitable analytical method that could accurately detect multiple components in a mixture (three aldehydes, three amines resulting in nine imine products) so we could understand the reaction before placing into the 'machine'. In chapter 2, we demonstrated that 19F NMR spectroscopy was sufficient to monitor in real time the equilibrium of a 3 x 3 matrix of fluorinated amine + aldehyde building blocks (nine imines). We also demonstrated that the system of our study was under a dynamic equilibrium and that by altering the acid or base concentrations, we can affect the dynamics of the reaction and monitor it quantitatively. In chapter 3, we synthesized a library of highly conjugated aromatic imines from fluorinated aldehydes and non-fluorinated amines. These imines possessed unique UV / Vis profiles (and unique 19F NMR data) therefore could be monitored in our 'machine' equipped with a UV / Vis sensor. In chapter 4, a reaction was ready to be trailed on the 'machine' as previously synthesized in chapter three but no such 'machine' had been developed by our collaborators and therefore we created our own mini-flow system to test in situ UV / Vis absorbance measurements of our library of imines. In chapter 5 we focused on synthesizing imine ligands for metal mediated atom transfer radical cyclization reactions (ATRC) (extensively studied by the Clark group) as this 'machine' was still under development by our collaborators. We knew that once the 'machine' was developed, we could tweak the system in a way which would allow us to develop optimised imine catalysts for ATRC reactions. In chapter 6 we demonstrated KBH4 to be the most efficient reducing agent for copper mediated AGET / ARGET – ATRC and by increasing the concentration of the reaction mixtures we significantly improved the efficiency of copper mediated AGET–ATRC of previously investigated reactions by the Clark group. We also demonstrated copper mediated AGET-ATRC in water at good conversions using ultrasound, replacing a toxic solvent and may now be considered as 'green' chemistry. In chapter 7, we were able to demonstrate an alternative procedure to oxindoles via copper meditated cyclisation reaction. In the presence of 1.1 equiv. of CuBr / TPA in methanol at 50 oC we were able to show 100% conversions of substrates 2-Bromo-N-butyl-2-methyl-N-(p-tolyl)propanamide and 2-Bromo-Nbutyl- 2-methyl-N-(m-tolyl)propanamide. We then performed a series of reactions to reduce the transition metal and ligand loadings by using borohydride reducing agents but unfortunately, these reactions were not that efficient.

At the core of any designer’s activity is the process they engage with to create design. Process is not only a way to get from an idea to a completed work, it is also what determines our attitude towards design. This is the place where both the design and the designer are created. The gray area between nothing and something is where we go to discover design, and in turn to discover who we are and what matters to us. In this thesis I am investigating the nebulous place between ideas and things, thoughts and artifacts, and being just a person to becoming a designer. Every designer works differently, but we share something in common: through process, design is discovery.

It is difficult for designers to explain what they do. In addition,those unfamiliar with design do not understand the rigor and logic of design thinking and process .We can’t formulate pre defined model for design process because every design situation is unique and new situation. But I tried to formulate my own model for design process as common with Inspirations from my supervisors/Lectures. I tried to describe what is design? And what is design process? In this paper.This personal position paper explores the personal improvement throughout the course work and what I learnt though out the course work.

The use of design process models is of great importance for developing better products. Indeed, it is one of the factors that may differentiate the best companies from the rest. However, their adoption in companies is declining. Usefulness and usability issues may be responsible for process models not to meet the needs of its users. The goal of this research is to provide deeper understanding of the users needs of design process models. Three main perspectives are provided: (1) why organizations use process models, (2) who are the users of process models, and (3) how the context of use of process models is. The research methodology adopted was the Design Research Methodology (DRM). Three stages were performed: (i) Research Clarification, (ii) Descriptive Study I, and (iii) Prescriptive Study. In the first stage, an initial literature review was carried out to collect evidences of why researching process models and their users needs is relevant for the design theory. During the second stage (Descriptive Study I), literature was reviewed to identify the purposes of use of design process models and its potential users; a focusgroup section with 24 subject matter experts was carried out to evaluate these purposes and identify process model users; and, lastly, a case study was perfomed to investigate the context of use of design process models in one organization and to portray the profile of the core users. Finally, the third stage (Prescriptive Study) aimed to uncover directions for organizations develop user-centered design process models. Four main results were achieved through this research. The first result is a deep understanding of three types of application of the design process models: (a) develop the design activity, (b) manage the design project, and (c) improve the design process. The purposes for these aplications were investigated and their level of importance were revealed. In addition, it was mapped the core users of process models for the three applications. The second result is the definition of the context of use of the models.Three dimensions of the context were depicted: the product, the design process, and the organizational structure. The third result is the set of users profiles. Empathy Maps were elaborated to represent the profiles of product engineers, project managers, and technical leaders. The last result consists in recommendations regarding the content provided to users and the process models system design. Finally, industrial practitioners will benefit from this research once it was provided evidences that the activity development application type is not properly considered in organization and that important users needs are not getting proper attention in the current models. Therefore, they will be able to make use of the recommendations outlined here.O uso de modelos de processo de design é de grande importância no desenvolvimento de novos produtos. De fato, isto é um dos fatores que pode diferenciar as melhores empresas das outras. De qualquer modo, a adoção dos modelos nas empresas esta declinando. Problemas em utilidade e usabilidade podem ser responsáveis pelos modelos não satisfazerem as necessidades de seus usuários. Nesta pesquisa, busca-se entender as necessidades dos usuários dos modelos de processo de design. Três perspectivas são dadas: (1) porquê organizações usam modelos de processo, (2) quem são os usuários dos modelos de processo e (3) como é o contexto de uso de modelos de processo. A metodologia de pesquisa adotada foi a Metodologia de Pesquisa em Design (DRM). Três estágios foram realizados: (i) Clarificação de Pesquisa, (ii) Estudo Descritivo I, e (iii) Estudo Prescritivo. No primeiro estágio, uma revisão inicial da literatura foi executada para coletar evidências do porquê estudar modelos de processo e as necessidades de seus usuários é relevante para a teoria de design. No segundo estágio (Estudo Descritivo I), revisão da literatura ajudou a identificar os propósitos de uso de modelos de processo de design e os seus potenciais usuários; uma seção de focus group com 24 especialistas no assunto foi executado para avaliar estes propósitos e identificar usuários dos modelos de processo; e, por fim, um estudo de caso foi realizado para investigar o contesto de uso dos modelos em uma organização e para retratar o perfil dos usuários principais. Finalmente, o terceiro estágio (Estudo Prescritivo) buscou revelar direções para que as organizações desenvolvam modelos de processo de design centrados em seus usuários. Quatro principais resultados foram alcançados por meio desta pesquisa. O primeiro resultado é um entendimento profundo dos três tipos de aplicação dos modelos de processo: (a) desenvolver atividade de design, (b) gerenciar o projeto de design, e (c) melhorar o processo de design. O propósito destas três aplicações foram investigadas e os níveis de importância evidenciados. Além disso, os usuários centrais dos modelos de processo foram mapeados. O segundo resultado é a definição do contexto de uso dos modelos. Três dimensões do contexto foram retratados: o produto, o processo de design, e a estrutura organizacional. O terceiro resultado é o conjunto de perfis dos usuários. Mapas de Empatia foram elaborados para representar os perfis de engenheiros de produto, gerentes de projeto, e líderes técnicos. O último resultado consiste em recomendações feitas a respeito do conteúdo fornecido aos usuários e o sistema a ser desenvolvido. Finalmente, profissionais da indústria podem beneficiar desta pesquisa uma vez que evidências são fornecidas de que a aplicação de desenvolvimento das atividades não é adequadamente considerada em organizações e que necessidades importantes dos usuários não recebem atenção satisfatória nos modelos atuais. Sendo assim, eles serão capazes de fazer uso das recomendações aqui feitas.

O Lean Communication-Centered Design (LeanCCD) é um processo de design de Interação Humano-Computador (IHC) centrado na comunicação, que consiste na realização de um workshop, detalhamento de metas de usuários, combinação de modelos de interação com esboços em papel simulados com usuários, apoiados por guias e quadros. A IHC é uma área que estuda o projeto e uso de tecnologia computacional, em especial a interação entre computadores e pessoas. Este estudo adaptou o Communication-Centered Design (CCD) e o eXtreme Communication-Centered Design (eXCeeD), outros processos de design centrados na comunicação fundamentados na Engenharia Semiótica (EngSem). A EngSem é uma teoria de IHC que define a interação como um processo comunicativo entre designers e usuários mediado por computadores. Abordagens e processos fundamentados nessa teoria buscam favorecer a reflexão através da adoção de modelos, questões e métodos que não gerem diretamente uma resposta ou solução para o problema, mas apoiem o designer na exploração do espaço e da natureza do problema, bem como das restrições sobre soluções candidatas. A avaliação do LeanCCD em um estudo de caso na indústria observou dificuldade na condução das atividades e na aplicação correta de algumas técnicas e conceitos. Porém, diferentemente do eXCeeD, percebemos o uso sistemático das questões que favoreciam a reflexão devido ao auxílio dos quadros e guias propostos.Lean Communication-Centered Design (LeanCCD) is a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) design process, which consists of conducting a workshop, detailing user goals, combining interaction models with paper sketches, and testing them with users, supported by guides and templates. This study adapted the Communication-Centered Design (CCD) and the eXtreme Communication-Centered Design (eXCeeD), other communication-centered design processes grounded on Semiotic Engineering (SemEng). SemEng defines the interaction as a computer-mediated communication process between designers and users. Approaches and processes based on SemEng are not used to directly yield the answer to a problem, but to increase the problem-solver s understanding of the problem itself and the implication it brings about. Process evaluation in a case study, in the industry, proved itself difficult, both in carrying out LeanCCD activities and in the correct application of some techniques and concepts. However, unlike eXCeeD, we were able to observe a systematic use of questions that contributed to designers reflection, aided by the proposed templates and guides.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis sets out a theoretical premise for design research into the space of the
designer, working inside the design system or context. The designer is understood as
actor, as active agency looking inwards in a comprehensive way to examine where ideas
are located and then, how these new insights or perspective might be meaningfully
introduced. In order to develop this research, personal journal writing is employed as to
develop an understanding about how the designer/actor can actively engage with being at
once participant, and observer, of their own design practice. A series of design case
studies are carried out, where the role of the designer as actor is critically examined
through forms of personal journal writing. What this entails is the establishment of a form
of autopoetic system for writing in several voices of the self, and self-as-other working in,
and through as design project case studies. I critically evaluate these journal case studies
to inform my understanding about the design of dialogic visual communication, where
multiple perspectives of self, and self-as-other may be interwoven into the visual design
artifact. As a result of conducting this research, I propose the existence of what I term the
'conversational self' as a means for developing new knowledge and knowing through
conversational story-telling as design research. My research introduces the
'conversational self' as a generalisable theory for design research which addresses the
ways in which the designer might effectively engage with the workings of personal tools
and patterns of practice, thus building greater objectivity through recognition of local
contexts, and the role of the designer as actor and as a situated self within the design
process. My research findings describe a space for the 'conversational self' as the coming
together of three linked knowledge systems for creation and learning. I describe this
theory as 'agency-centred' design for research about design and experiential knowledge
contexts through research into the development of project case studies where individual
styles and approaches to learning and thinking which are recognised and valued as
implicit tools of and for design practice.
Firstly, the conversational journal writing format which I develop situates the designer/
researcher as both participant and observer within their design decision-making. As a
result of the uses of the journal format as a practice-based research methodology through
case studies, I observe the effect of producing what I term an 'autopoetic' (Maturana and
Varela) self-producing system, which enables me to introduce both rational and intuitive
content that works in my journal through a range of thinking styles and journal forms. My
research strategy involves the writing of several concurrent and interacting levels of
internal conversation across 'I', 'You', 'Me' and 'We' as parallel and interactive
experiential voices of self through uses of a journal format where a range of experiences
are documented as design project narratives. The conversational contexts which this
approach offers provide a means for introducing multiple perspectives from self, and selfas-
other (as designer, author, subject, agent, person) to explore topics and social
knowledge themes through a range of creative conversational learning contexts (Pask,
Glanville). In the course of developing this approach I draw on theories about personal
constructs (Kelly, Thomas and Harri-Augustein); the self as forms as agency (Archer);
about experiential learning and knowledge creation through learning conversations
(Baker, Jensen and Kolb) ; and social knowledge as networks, flows and exchange
processes (Boisot).
Secondly, as a finding from my usage of this journal format, I propose the workings of
what I describe as my 'unity of self' system construct as an enabling and generative
system for working with social knowledge and the 'self' as forms of agency through
internal conversations. Margaret Archer's theory describes the social self as forms of
causal agency active in everyday social and experiential contexts. In my case studies I
trace the internal dynamics and interactions of 'voices' of self in the journal text, which I
evaluate as the workings of conversational levels and layers which engage with a range of
details and perspectives for each project using written and non-verbal forms. The design
case study projects each describes a particular context for design practice; including
institutional, corporate, experimental, and personal design projects. In using this
methodology for journal writing, I show how I am able to explore the social interplays of
personal/public and individual/collective frameworks for design practice contexts.
Thirdly, through my evaluations of the design project case study journals, I observe the
emergence of topics and themes in each project around my understanding of the role of
context for defining the social and experiential 'materials' (Schon) of the situation. The
topics noted from conversations in design case inform what I term my 'contextual field'
as the third learning system in my findings from this research. This 'contextual field' is a
kind of topical map which provides signposts for working with social and experiential
contexts, to design 'ecological narratives' (Krippendorff) as forms of language which are
crafted as intentional and strategic design approaches, as responses to the research
process of internal reflection about the materials of the situation (Schon) Through usage
with my journal format, and unity of self construct, my contextual field topical map
provides a framework for developing topics and themes for internal conversations to
inform my design production in both 'service' and 'hand' craft project contexts. What
results are rich use case studies documented as forms of conversational story-telling
where new knowledge emerges as questions and possibilities around the design of visual
artifacts and service contexts.

This is a study of computer technology s impact on the theatrical design process. The tools of communication provided by technology were studied, and an analysis was conducted in the classroom of Digital Rendering, Digital Rendering Videos, and 3d CADD. After-wards, these tools were applied to an actual production of West Side Story where, with the addition of 3d light simulation software, the tools were used to communicate the design ideas from the lighting designer to the director. The goal of this process was to provide a  real to life virtual representation of the show to the director with the least amount of confusion. An additional goal was to test the limits and functions of the software; trying to learn all the benefits that could be provided to the process of mounting a theatrical production.M.F.A.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis concerns the development of rigorous global optimisation techniques and their application to process engineering problems. Many Process Engineering optimisation problems are nonlinear. Local optimisation approaches may not provide global solutions to these problems if they are nonconvex. The global optimisation approach utilised in this work is based on interval branch and bound algorithms. The interval global optimisation approach is extended to take advantage of information about the structure of the problem and facilitate efficient solution of constrained NLPs using interval analysis. This is achieved by reformulating the interval lower bounding procedure as a convex programming problem which allows inclusion of convex constraints in the lower bounding problem. The approach is applied to a number of standard constrained test problems indicating that this algorithm retains the wide applicability of the interval methods while allowing efficient solution of constrained problems. A new approach to the construction of modular flowsheets is developed. This approach allows construction of flowsheets from linked unit models which enable the application of a number of global optimisation algorithms. The modular flowsheets are constructed with 'generic' unit operations which provide interval bounds, linear bounds, derivatives and derivative bounds using extended numerical types. The genericity means that new 'extended types' can be devised and used without rewriting the unit operations models. The new interval global optimisation algorithm is applied to the generic modular flowsheet. Using interval analysis and automatic differentiation as the arithmetic types, lower bounding linear programs are constructed and used in a branch and bound framework to globally optimise the modular flowsheet.

Ergonomic injuries are not the result of acute events. An ergonomic injury develops gradually from continued actions combining force, motion repetition, posture, and duration. Because these injuries accrue over time, it is often difficult to determine their causes. Lacking a clear causal link, it is difficult to justify investments that are intended to prevent ergonomic injuries. A large computer manufacturer, Dell Inc, is targeting significant reductions in their factory injury rates. This thesis describes the evaluation of two desktop computer manufacturing facilities. As part of this work, OSHA logs from 2002 were analyzed, injury costs were collected, factory workers were surveyed, and biomaterials associated with ergonomic injuries were studied. The analysis of the OSHA logs determined that 70% of factory injuries were ergonomic in nature and that a majority of the ergonomic injuries occurred as a result of work in the computer assembly (build) area. The costs associated with ergonomic injuries were computed on a cost per box (CPB) basis, a common metric used throughout Dell factories to determine financial impact. In order to evaluate, improve, and monitor the ergonomic factors on the factory floor, an evaluation tool for product and process design was developed. This tool incorporates risk factors of force, motion repetition, and posture while determining ergonomic scores for products and process steps. Tool validation was achieved by comparing ergonomic scores with worker product preferences, as revealed by an employee survey. Currently, the ergonomic evaluation tool is being used by the Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Department at Dell. A greater understanding of the causes behind ergonomic injuries, combined
(cont.) with use of the evaluation tool, is contributing to Dell's efforts to continuously reduce the occurrence of ergonomic injuries and associated costs.

Firms compete based on their relative ability to renew as much as they do on their ability to extract profits from product-markets. Drawing from literature and case studies the research explores how renewal is affected in organisations. The main dynamics of the renewal process, and the issues and skills involved in its management, therefore, receive detailed treatment. Relevant data is gathered from a variety of primary and secondary sources. The research begins with an effort to understand the forces that trigger and processes that act to sustain decline in organisations. These findings are contrasted with a number of case studies that serve the identification of underlying characteristics and dynamics common to successful organizations. This comparison serves to uncover principles of successful organisation and that hold the key to renewal and sustained growth. The main objective of this research is to increase the understanding and awareness of the processes, problems and successful means of organisational renewal. Underlying is the concern to develop more formalised models and translate these findings into a useful conceptual framework as a basis and stimulus for further research and as a helpful guideline for management practitioners to handle successfully the problems of entropy and organisational ossification of their business.

Concurrency is generally considered to be difficult due to a lack of appropriate abstraction, rather than inherent complexity. Lock-based approaches to mutual exclusion are pervasive, despite the presence of models that are easier to understand, such as the message-passing model present in CSP (Communicating Sequential Processes). CSP provides a rich framework for building and reasoning about concurrent systems, but has historically required a change of programming language or paradigm in order to work with it. The Go programming language is a modern, imperative programming language that includes native support for processes and channels. The popularity of this language has grown and more and more people are being exposed to the fundamental ideas of CSP. There is a gap in the understanding of how a restrictive formal model can interact with and support the development of concurrent programs in a language such as Go. Through a series of case studies and analysis, we show how the CSP concurrency model can be used as the basis for the design of a concurrent system architecture without requiring the program to be written entirely as the composition of processes. It is also possible to use the CSP process algebra to build abstract models and use model-checking tools to verify properties of a concurrent system. These models can then be used to guide the decomposition of a system into a more fine-grained concurrent system. This thesis bridges the gap between the development of CSP-style concurrent software and the formal model of CSP. In particular, it shows how it is not necessary for a program or programming language to conform to rigid structure in order for CSP to be a useful tool for the development of reliable and easy to understand concurrent systems.

Bradley, Hugh D. „Aggregate process planning and manufacturing assessment for concurrent engineering“. Thesis, Durham University, 1997. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/4719/.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The introduction of concurrent engineering has led to a need to perform product development tasks with reduced information detail. Decisions taken during the early design stages will have the greatest influence on the cost of manufacture. The manufacturing requirements for alternative design options should therefore be considered at this time. Existing tools for product manufacture assessment are either too detailed, requiring the results of detailed design information, or too abstract, unable to consider small changes in design configuration. There is a need for an intermediate level of assessment which will make use of additional design detail where available, whilst allowing assessment of early designs. This thesis develops the concept of aggregate process planning as a methodology for supporting concurrent engineering. A methodology for performing aggregate process planning of early product designs is presented. Process and resources alternatives are identified for each feature of the component and production plans are generated from these options. Alternative production plans are assessed in terms of cost, quality and production time. A computer based system (CESS, Concurrent Engineering Support System) has been developed to implement the proposed methodology. The system employs object oriented modelling techniques to represent designs, manufacturing resources and process planning knowledge. A product model suitable for the representation of component designs at varying levels of detail is presented. An aggregate process planning functionality has been developed to allow the generation of sets of alternative plans for a component in a given factory. Manufacturing cost is calculated from the cost of processing, set-ups, transport, material and quality. Processing times are calculated using process specific methods which are based on standard cutting data. Process quality cost is estimated from a statistical analysis of historical SPC data stored for similar operations performed in the factory, where available. The aggregate process planning functionality has been tested with example component designs drawn from industry.

This thesis introduces AD-OPM BPI, which is a new method of conducting business process improvement using both Axiomatic Design and Object-Process Methodology. The premise underlying the method is that modern process improvement techniques boast large efficiency gains, but fail to address the broader process system. Through first using Axiomatic Design to map and optimize the process system, broader-inefficiencies will be addressed before they constrain individual processes. Then Object-Process Methodology is conducted for process-specific optimization by utilizing modern system architecture layering principles to identify nonvalue-adding entities and improve them through deletion or simplification. A case study at a large aerospace manufacturing company demonstrates the method in practical application. Results suggest that application is better suited to new or small-scale systems due to the challenge of applying Axiomatic Design to pre-existing large scale systems. Despite this limitation, Object-Process Methodology remains a viable option for business process improvement, whether or not it is coupled with Axiomatic Design in AD-OPM BPI.

A partir do século passado a joalheria sofreu uma grande transformação nos valores construídos em torno da joia comumente entendida como ornamento confeccionado em material precioso. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi descrever o perfil de autores de joias de Porto Alegre e seus processos criativos, posicionando seus campos de atuação dentro de categorias da joalheria (Alta Joalheria, Joalheria de Autor, Joalheria de Arte). Na revisão de literatura são descritas as dinâmicas da joalheria a partir do século XX e uma abordagem sobre processos criativos referindo-se a requisitos e fenômenos necessários para a ocorrência da criatividade. Foram entrevistados dez autores reconhecidos na área da joia, sobre suas trajetórias profissionais, seus processos de trabalho e sua visão sobre os seus campos de atuação. Observou-se que os processos criativos entre os autores entrevistados se assemelham na prática entre o campo do design e o das artes. Por outro lado, o uso da nomenclatura “design” foi considerado pelos entrevistados com certa ressalva pelo fato de não possuírem graduação nesse campo. Ficou a percepção de que o produto joia ainda não recebe um claro entendimento como sendo um produto de design. Os campos de atuação que os entrevistados foram classificados neste trabalho diferiram dos campos expressados pelos mesmos. Entretanto, é indiscutível a expressão pessoal observada em seus produtos, característica do campo das artes, mesmo naqueles não inseridos nesse campo. Neste aspecto fica também fortemente identificada a aproximação dos campos da arte e do design na criação da joia.From the last century jewelry has undergone a major transformation in the values built around the jewel commonly perceived as ornaments made of precious material. The aim of this study was describe the profile of authors of jewels of Porto Alegre and their creative processes analyzing their expertise fields within categories of jewelry (High Jewelry, Author Jewelry, Art Jewelry). On literature review are described the dynamics of jewelry from the twentieth century and an approach to creative process in relation to the requirements and necessary phenomena to the creativity occurrence. Ten recognized authors in jewels were interviewed, about their careers, their work processes and its self-definition of their expertise field. It was observed that the creative processes among the interviewed authors were similar between the field of design and of arts. On the other hand, the use of the nomenclature "design" was regarded by interviewed with certain safeguard because they have no degree in this field. Remains the perception that product jewel does not receive a clear understanding as being a product of design. The fields of action that the interviewed were classified in this study differed from the fields expressed by them. However, it is certain the personal expression observed in its products, a characteristic of the field of the arts, even in those not entered into this field. This aspect is also strongly identified the approximation of the fields of art and design in the creation of the jewel.

Abstract The vision of the Operations Technology Group at Amgen is to enable a robust pipeline through focused and efficient operations research studies. Process design is traditionally developed by performing experiments, but other approaches can be used to improve cost, efficiency, and robustness. The scope of this internship included the use of First Principles, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Cross-Product Process Monitoring (CPPM) to improve process design robustness with reduced testing and faster development cycle. The project focused specifically on the drug product development network, which included the development of processes from formulation to filling and finishing, clinical manufacturing, and technology transfer to commercial manufacturing The goal of this internship was to explore opportunities to utilize First Principles, CFD, and CPPM in drug product process design space. First Principles and CFD modeling tools were used to look into the physics of drug product filling process (specifically parameters influencing two key filling issues - drying during line stoppage and dripping between fills). Criteria for analyzing cost and benefits for the use of First Principles were also provided as strategic recommendations on where the new approach should be utilized. Clinical data were leveraged, with multivariate statistical data analysis, to determine inspection reject limit for the purpose of process monitoring and root cause analysis.

The process drawing is defined as a constant meandering between the consciousness or hunch towards an object and the concept of understanding or rationalizing that object. This falls back to a search for form submitting to critical reflection including both intuition and analysis. With Process Drawing, this reflection initially comes from an ideal conception as opposed to a pragmatic idea. In such a way that during the design discourse a functional brief is replaced by a series of self-inflicted design instructions moving the mind further and further away from 'the familiar'. For a brief moment, the ideal exists only in the drawing, the model, or any other artefact produced, free from concept, free from pragmatic application yet aiming towards the discovery of a new program or new application.

Creating photorealistic animals in computer graphics is common within the VFX industry and is increasing as the technology advances. With CG you can nowadays create almost realistic and believable animals. One of the biggest challenges in creating a realistic animal is creating realistic fur. The question is what challenges poses creating realistic fur and what is the process to achieve it? How does groom affect the other departments in the pipeline such as modeling and texturing, what are things you need to keep in mind when creating fur? In this thesis, the study of recreating a realistic fur for a lion was conducted while examining the challenges posed while creating it. The study shows that grooming demands more out of the other departments and while creating realistic fur is one thing, accomplishing realistic hair within a context such as for a specific animal is an elaborate process which demands both technical and artistic skills in conjunction with a structured approach.

With the rise of electronic integration between organizations, the need for a precise specification of interaction behavior increases. Information systems, replacing interaction previously carried out by humans via phone, faxes and emails, require a precise specification for handling all possible situations. Such interaction behavior is described in process choreographies. Choreographies enumerate the roles involved, the allowed interactions, the message contents and the behavioral dependencies between interactions. Choreographies serve as interaction contract and are the starting point for adapting existing business processes and systems or for implementing new software components.
As a thorough analysis and comparison of choreography modeling languages is missing in the literature, this thesis introduces a requirements framework for choreography languages and uses it for comparing current choreography languages. Language proposals for overcoming the limitations are given for choreography modeling on the conceptual and on the technical level.
Using an interconnection modeling style, behavioral dependencies are defined on a per-role basis and different roles are interconnected using message flow. This thesis reveals a number of modeling "anti-patterns" for interconnection modeling, motivating further investigations on choreography languages following the interaction modeling style. Here, interactions are seen as atomic building blocks and the behavioral dependencies between them are defined globally. Two novel language proposals are put forward for this modeling style which have already influenced industrial standardization initiatives.
While avoiding many of the pitfalls of interconnection modeling, new anomalies can arise in interaction models. A choreography might not be realizable, i.e. there does not exist a set of interacting roles that collectively realize the specified behavior. This thesis investigates different dimensions of realizability.Elektronische Integration zwischen Organisationen erfordert eine präzise Spezifikation des Interaktionsverhaltens: Informationssysteme, die Kommunikation per Telefon, Fax und Email ablösen, können nicht so flexibel und selbständig auf Ausnahmesituationen reagieren wie Menschen. Choreographien ermöglichen es, Interaktionsverhalten genau zu spezifizieren. Diese Modelle zählen die beteiligten Rollen, die erlaubten Interaktionen, Nachrichteninhalte und Verhaltensabhängigkeiten auf und dienen somit als Interaktionsvertrag zwischen den Organisationen. Auch als Ausgangspunkt für eine Anpassung existierender Prozesse und Systeme sowie für die Implementierung neuer Softwarekomponenten finden Choreographien Anwendung. Da ein Vergleich von Choreographiemodellierungssprachen in der Literatur bislang fehlt, präsentiert diese Arbeit einen Anforderungskatalog, der als Basis für eine Evaluierung existierender Sprachen angewandt wird. Im Kern führt diese Arbeit Spracherweiterungen ein, um die Schwächen existierender Sprachen zu überwinden. Die vorgestellten Erweiterungen adressieren dabei Modellierung auf konzeptioneller und auf technischer Ebene. Beim Verlinkungsmodellierungsstil werden Verhaltensabhängigkeiten innerhalb der beteiligten Rollen spezifiziert und das Interaktionsverhalten entsteht durch eine Verlinkung der Kommunikationsaktivitäten. Diese Arbeit stellt einige "Anti-Pattern" für die Verlinkungsmodellierung vor, welche wiederum Untersuchungen bzgl. Choreographiesprachen des Interaktionsmodellierungsstils motivieren. Hier werden Interaktionen als atomare Blöcke verstanden und Verhaltensabhängigkeiten werden global definiert. Diese Arbeit führt zwei neue Choreographiesprachen dieses zweiten Modellierungsstils ein, welche bereits in industrielle Standardisierungsinitiativen eingeflossen sind. Während auf der einen Seite zahlreiche Fallstricke der Verlinkungsmodellierung umgangen werden, können in Interaktionsmodellen allerdings neue Anomalien entstehen. Eine Choreographie kann z.B. "unrealisierbar" sein, d.h. es ist nicht möglich interagierende Rollen zu finden, die zusammen genommen das spezifizierte Verhalten abbilden. Dieses Phänomen wird in dieser Arbeit über verschiedene Dimensionen von Realisierbarkeit untersucht.

The global market of today is tough and the competition between companies demands new ways of developing products and services. The current challenge for the design research community is to provide designers with a wider range of methods and tools to support specific activities within the design process and to improve its overall coordination. It is uncertain whether problem-solving alone can be the tool for developing even simple products or services, as we are less open to the variety of opportunities that arise in the process. When approaching a problem, the cognitive mindset demanded to solve the problem differs from that required when searching for opportunities in creating something completely new. This emphasizes the importance of design thinking, using tools and methods for conducting Human Centered Design (HCD), empathy, and intuition along with the use of visualization. By focusing on the creative process and the use of sketches or models, this research will explore the possibility to develop tools and methods for conducting NPD projects in a more efficient, effective way. This research provides a prescriptive model of using visualization in New Product Development (NPD). This model is a result of clarifying the problem, understanding the factors that affect the problem and the development of support and a solution for implementing the model in industry. The model works as a supportive tool for project teams and guidelines for management.

The aim of this thesis is to investigate methods for allowing modular process design and simulation systems to rigorously find globally optimal solutions. Sequential Modular Flowsheets are still used by many companies for process design even though they do not use global optimisation. Applying global optimisation to a process flowsheet in the early stages of the design will have significant positive impacts on profitability. In order to maintain a competitive edge in the practical business world it is critical to optimise new designs and operations in manufacturing plants. Significant improvements in finding the global optimum are shown using basic interval contraction when solving mathematical problems with equality constraints. Developments were made to fixed point type contractors to further improve computational efficiency to a set of mathematical test problems containing constraints. The idea and development of contraction was taken forward to modular flowsheets. Global optimisation algorithms have been developed for solving modular flowsheets to involve contractors. The Algorithm was tested to draw conclusions about the computational efficiency with and without the basic contractors. A global optimisation algorithm to find all the global solutions to modular flowsheeting problem was devised and tested. Different interval model formulation of flowsheeting problems were constructed to investigate the computational efficiency for interval global optimisation algorithms and the interval contraction techniques were investigated for every type of formulation.

Schools of architecture are in general oriented to place more importance on the shape of buildings, following fancy models and "discovering" rules of composition based in new fashion, and in the past of architecture as principle generators of design. Most of those schools have forgotten that the final product of architecture must be in the thinking of the users who are going to be the final consumers of the project. In designing, Architects should try to fulfill the basic needs of people and to consider the environmental characteristics of each project more than creating elements for the critical admiration of other colleagues.There is not a specific rule or order to follow in a design process which guarantees that the final product will fulfill the necessities of its future users. Each designer should discover his or her own process of design and which factors must be considered in each case. This thesis is based on the study of important elements called Environmental Factors and their intervention in the process of design, projection and creation of any architectural event. Several factors are necessary to consider in a process of design. They could be divided into physical factors such as illumination, acoustics, and climatic factors such as sun orientation and protection, wind orientation, passive and active energy systems. There are cultural factors which include psychological and social elements. Every architect should consider those elements as part of the design process in order to produce an architectural event that fulfills the needs of its potential users.The first part of the this thesis proposes a strategy of design for large scale projects that includes all the environmental considerations necessary to obtain a final habitable product starting in a small element called The Cell. The second step analyses the union of several Cells into a new element called The Unit, and the last step is the study of The Residential Development which becomes a product of the union of different Units and has urban connotations.Jose Luis Magan Architect As a conclusion, three different methods used in the design of a house are studied. In the first example, one works in the organization of a house as a whole element. Working only with a section of the house is the second method. Finally, using the geometry to generate each spatial component of the house is the third method exemplified.This thesis is the product of experience in research, design and construction of different housing solutions. It is just one step of a research in which I will be involved for the rest of my life. This is a research about the meaning of housing involving the physical, social, cultural, psychological and economical necessities of people, and how an architect could contribute with his design to make of this planet a more comfortable place for living.Department of Architecture
