This thesis examines the evolution of Internet based knowledge networks (e-knowledge networks) in the domain of sustainable development. The objective of this thesis is to use an engineering systems approach to understand knowledge networks, identify the barriers to their sustainability and recommend strategies for re-engineering them. e-Knowledge Networks refer to the set of Internet based tools and platforms that support communication, collaboration and group decision-making processes amongst groups of individuals. e-knowledge networks are particularly important in the context of international development initiatives that recognize that knowledge is the key to technological change and sustainable economic development. This thesis is intended to aid knowledge network managers and researchers in their efforts towards making their knowledge networks sustainable. The thesis addresses in depth the most important barrier towards a knowledge network's sustainability- the problem of collective action among the participants of a knowledge network. It takes the view that knowledge is a public good, and a knowledge network would face the problem of under provision of this public good due the problem of free-riding and lack of mechanisms to mobilize collective action. This thesis provides guidelines and recommendations for the restructuring of incentives and organizational policies and the re-engineering of the technology to overcome this barrier. The thesis first outlines a framework and taxonomy for describing different knowledge network configurations and maps out the state of existence of important knowledge networks existing in the sustainable development domain within this framework. It then provides individual and comparative
(cont.) studies of two important knowledge networks related to sustainable development- the MIT developed Global System for Sustainable Development (GSSD) and the Development Gateway's Knowledge Network. The engineering systems approach used in this thesis enables the study of each of the sub-systems that make up a knowledge network- the human subsystem, the technological subsystem and the institutional subsystem. This is done with the view towards providing insights into the structure of the network and the network of relationships that develop within a Knowledge Network, determining the motivations that drives the creators and the participants and the incentives that have been engineered into the technological and organizational policies to meet these motivations and assessing the quality, quantity and the evolution of knowledge and the throughput of participants in the network. A detailed description of each of the subsystems is provided and the interrelationships amongst them are analyzed and the result is synthesized to develop an integrated framework for the assessment of knowledge networks.

Full textStatic program slicing is a technique used to analyze code for single points of failure or errors that could cause catastrophic events in a software system. This analysis technique is especially useful in large-scale systems where a software failure could have very serious consequences.
In 1995 the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) created a Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tool called Unravel, a static program slicing tool that they used to evaluate the safety and integrity of software. Because of the old libraries used by Unravel, it can no longer be run on modern computer systems. This project re-engineers the original Unravel application so that it can run on modern computer systems.
The re-engineered version of the program, called Unravel V3 (UV3), implements all the functional requirements of the original program but provides a more modern user interface and moves the program from the procedural language of C to the object oriented language C#.

Full textHistorically, (PCM/FM) receivers have used simple detection schemes yielding low performance. Using multi-symbol detection methods, PCM/FM can be received with better error performance than either SOQPSK or multi-h CPM. We present an approximation by which PCM/FM can be reinterpreted as a phase modulation scheme, allowing the use of coherent detection techniques. This is backward compatible with existing receivers. We also present an extension by which the error performance of the approximated PCM/FM can be improved even further with no change to the spectral properties. This improved waveform can be used in systems where compatibility with existing frequency allocation schemes is required.

In 2004, The National Academy of Engineers (NAE) released a report calling for changes to be made to the current engineering education system in response to the growing need for engineering graduates who would be able to understand engineering problems in a larger context. The present study hopes to gain a better understanding of the growth of flexible engineering education by determining differences in student characteristics and their effect on a student's choice of academic program, identifying the perceptions of the MIT community of flexible and traditional engineering programs and how these perceptions changed over time, and establishing whether or not a correlation exists between students' perceived self-efficacy in engineering and professional abilities and his or her career plans. An online survey was developed and administered to the Course 2 and Course 2-A student body. Significant differences in motivation, opinion of Course 2 and Course 2-A, as well as perceived self-efficacy were found between Course 2 and Course 2-A students.

Full textThe Computer-Aided Prototyping System (CAPS) currently runs only on SPARC workstations ruling SunOS version 4.1.3. This limits the usefulness of CAPS, since Sun Microsystems has publicly announced that they have no interest in continuing support for SunOS version 4.x. A solution to this problem is to port CAPS to a PC platform running the Linux operating system. Towards this end, the graphical editor portion of CAPS was ported onto a 100Mhz Pentium, with 32 MB of RAM, Linux 3.0, running Motif 2.0 on X windows. Modifications to both, the Makefile and the graphical editor source code were required for a successful compilation. These modifications were items such as having to compile using various compilers, providing pointers to the Motif and X windows Libraries needed to produce the static builds of the graphical editor, and a number of recompilations of the Linux kernel. As a result of these efforts, the graphical editor, a functional component of CAPS, was successfully ported to this system. The software database, project control and execution support components still remain to be ported as a future development

Linhas de Produto de Software é uma importante estratégia de reuso para minimizar custos e tempo de entrega das aplicações, e maximizar a qualidade e produtividade do desenvolvimento de software. Entretanto, isso envolve o gerenciamento dos pontos comuns e variáveis entre diferentes aplicações, que aumenta sua complexidade quando comparado com desenvolvimento de software tradicional. Assim, desenvolver uma Linha de Produto requer tempo e planejamento para apresentar resultados positivos, ao contrário, o investimento pode ser perdido devido a falhas no projeto. Nesse contexto, um processo de Engenharia de Requisitos é importante para reduzir os riscos envolvidos em uma Linha de Produto, fornecendo gerenciamento e desenvolvimento de requisitos corretos. Por outro lado, existe um desafio chave em Engenharia de Requisitos para Linhas de Produto, que envolve uma solução adequada para gerenciar variabilidades, integrando-as e relacionado decisões em diferentes artefatos para facilitar a derivação de produtos. Assim, o desenvolvimento de Linhas de Produto deve ser apoiado por um processo de Engenharia de Requisitos adequado para o seu contexto. Atualmente, existem muitas abordagens de Engenharia de Requisitos para Linhas de Produto, entretanto, elas apresentam alguns problemas, tais como a ausência de um processo completo e sistemático, com detalhes suficientes para o ciclo de vida da Engenharia de Requisitos. Assim, este trabalho define um processo sistemático de Engenharia de Requisitos, descrevendo atividades, tarefas, entradas, saídas, papéis e guidelines para o contexto de Linhas de Produto, em uma forma usável, efetiva e eficiente. Por fim, um estudo experimental é apresentado para identificar a viabilidade do processo proposto

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The environment within which most organisations operate is ever-changing. In such a dynamic environment the only way an organisation is able to not just survive but thrive is by continuously, effectively and efficiently transforming/re-engineering itself (Hammer & Champy, 2001). Luckily, many organisations have realised and accepted this fact. The problem, however, is that the majority of transformation initiatives, launched by organisations, are unsuccessful. In fact, according to (Blanchard K. , 2010), 70% of change initiatives fail. There can only be two possible reasons for the existence of this very serious problem. Organisations either implement the wrong kinds of change initiatives or they ineffectively manage and execute the transformation efforts that they initiate. To solve this problem, an organisation needs to make use of a structured and integrated enterprise engineering methodology that enables it to effectively manage and execute the right kind of change initiatives (Martin, 1995). In the literature that was reviewed, very few structured and integrated enterprise engineering methodologies were found to exist. The objective of this study was to bridge this research gap. In other words, the objective of this study was to develop a structured and integrated enterprise engineering methodology. Developing the enterprise engineering methodology was done by following a basic system engineering process consisting of the following four steps: requirements analysis, system design, system development and system validation. During the requirements analysis step the functional characteristics that the enterprise engineering methodology needed to possess were identified. The purpose of the system design step was to firstly identify the set of methods that the enterprise engineering methodology should consist of and secondly to determine how these methods fit together to form an integrated methodology. The purpose of the system development step was to describe each of the methods that the enterprise engineering methodology needed to consist of in terms of how it is utilised as well as who should be involved during its utilisation. Lastly, during the system validation step the enterprise engineering methodology was evaluated based on how well it satisfies its functional requirements. Expert interviews as well as a case study were used to do this.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die meerderheid organisasies, huidiglik in bestaan, wroeg met die konstante veranderinge wat plaasvind in die omgewing rondom hulle. In so ‘n dinamiese omgewing is ‘n organisasie se toekomstige winsgewendheid en groei hewiglik afhanklik van sy bevoegdheid om aaneenlopend en effektief veranderinge aan te bring (Hammer & Champy, 2001). Die probleem is dat 70% van transformasie-inisiatiewe wat geloots word nie die voordele wat van hulle verwag word suksesvol lewer nie (Blanchard K. , 2010). Hoekom gebeur dit? Hoekom is net 30% van transformasie-inisiatiewe wat geloots word suksesvol? Daar is net twee moontlike redes vir die bestaan van hierdie probleem. Organisasies loots óf die verkeerde tipe transformasie-inisiatiewe óf hulle bestuur hulle transformasie-inisiatiewe op ‘n oneffektiewe manier. Om te verseker dat ‘n organisasie nie in hierdie strik trap nie, moet dit gebruik maak van ‘n gestruktureerde en geїntegreerde besigheidstransformasie-metodologie wat die proses van verandering vergemaklik (Martin, 1995). In die literatuur wat tot dusver nagevors is, kon daar maar ‘n handjievol besigheidstransformasie-metodologiëe opgespoor word. Die doel van hierdie studie was om hierdie gaping in die literatuur te vul. Met ander woorde, die doel van hierdie studie was om ‘n gestruktureerde en geїntegreerde besigheidstransformasie-metodologie te ontwikkel. ‘n Stelselontwikkelingsproses is gevolg om hierdie metodologie te ontwikkel. Die vier stappe wat deel gevorm het van hierdie stelselontwikkelingsproses is die volgende: vereistebeskrywing, stelselontwerp, stelselontwikkeling en stelselvalidasie. Tydens die vereistebeskrywingstap van die proses is die funksionele eienskappe wat die besigheidstransformasie-metodologie moet besit geïdentifiseer. Die doel van die stelselontwerpstap was eerstens om die metodes waaruit die metodologie moet bestaan te identifiseer en tweedens om die wisselwerking tussen die metodes te bepaal. Die doel van die stelselontwikkelingstap was om elkeen van die metodes waaruit die metodologie moet bestaan te beskryf in terme van hoe dit toegepas word, asook wie betrokke behoort te wees tydens die gebruik daarvan. Tydens die stelselvalidasiestap is die metodologie geëvalueer in terme van hoe effektief dit die geïdentifiseerde funksionele behoeftes bevredig. Onderhoude met deskundiges asook ‘n gevallestudie is gebruik om dit te doen.

Full textThis project examines the current business processes for micro-purchases within the government and analyzes the current processes with a potential to be system by utilizing business process re-engineering (BPR). The methodology includes a comparative analysis of BPR methodologies and tools, analysis of the current as is processes for the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) micro-purchases, and the development of an improved to be processes. Data was gathered from various stakeholders in the purchasing process. BPR software was used to create use cases to study the process flow of the as is and to be systems. The implementation of the process flow, workload, and information systems is highly individual to each agency. The efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency of procurements within individual agencies are highly dependent on leadership, experience, skill sets, training, information technology solutions, and human resources. This research shows working models of improved cost, turn-around-time, and performance. The ultimate goal is to decrease the amount of time that it takes to complete the processes within the workflow system thus improving the turn-around-time for an end user to receive a product or service. Upon completion of the analysis of the as is model and the to be model, savings in both cost and schedule were demonstrated. Re-engineering a few activities that were causing bottlenecks improved the total duration from approximately 20.96 days to 10.4 days. While the changes made are unique to the processes in place at NPS, the structure of BPR can be broadly applied across the government.

Full textIn a time of downsizing and budgetary constraints the Manpower division of Headquarters, United States Marine Corps, accomplishes its mission to put the right Marine in the right place at the right time with the right skills and quality of life" in a variety of ways. Currently, one of the processes that assist the Marine Enlisted Assignments branch is the Enlisted Assignment Model. The current system is not producing the results that are needed and the current managers do not tmst the output. This thesis proposes changes to the EAM user interface, data access, and data storage capabilities to enable the Marine Corps to use the latest information technology to more closely mirror the vision as stated above. With the use of Business Process Reengineering, Process Modeling, and Database Design a prototype is developed to address areas of the current system that can be changed. By using these methods to ensure an appropriate interface with optimization techniques, a complete Decision Support System for manpower assignments can be realized. These changes will empower managers to effectively and efficiently manage, not just monitor manpower readiness in order to meet the challenges of the 2l% century.

Full textWithin the United States Marine Corps, there exist billets (jobs) that require specialized graduate education. Department of Defense agencies submit requests to add billets to their organizational structure. Marine Corps Orders require for every billet added another must be removed elsewhere to balance manpower requirements. Additionally, continuing validation of the billets is required to ensure compliance with Secretary of Defense criteria. Problems in the key function, billet validation, include inflexible, inefficient, and ineffective processes, and nebulous validation criteria. We address these problems by developing a centralized decision support system to be used in a distributed collaborative setting. The objectives of the Special Education Program (SEP) Billet Validation System are to allow SEP billet holders and commands to evaluate and justify existing SEP billets, to assist Military Occupational Specialty Sponsors in identifying manpower reductions, and to validate the graduate education requirement for existing SEP billets. Methods from Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) (specifically Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)) are used to formalize Secretary of Defense requirements and quantify relative ratings of billets. The system employs a Web Browser front-end application to allow the administrative review process to be performed in a parallel manner
