The Game Design Document is a well defined set of requirements for a game design and a methodology for game development. The most pertinent aspects of the GDD are described and the relative research collected, in order to better the reader's understanding of the concept. This is a work in two parts, theoretical and practical. Research was an ongoing effort while attempting toproduce a game design according to the content prescribed for the GDD. The resultant design was for a fictitious game dubbed Arcane Dominion.

Knowledge gained about the GDD is used to make a comparison and attempt to identify a possible evolution towards existing software engineeringmethodologies. Some differences are brought to light between the GDD and a popular contemporary methodology, Agile Development.

To compliment the research, one aspect of the designed game was implemented in a prototype and thereafter analyzed in order to obtain neededfeedback and be confronted with the complexities of game balancing pertaining to one chosen game strategy.

No knights or soldiers were hurt in the making of this thesis.

Volvo Cars Corporation (VCC) is devoted to Lean and Six Sigma, and has lately considered an imple-mentation of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) with the purpose of improving their product design process and production. The goal for this project work is therefore to investigate if DFMA is a beneficial method for VCC to use, how DFMA can be used and suggest a DFMA method. A literature study is performed as a starting point to understand DFMA methods and its possibilities. Scientific articles, technical books and online sources is used during the study in order to gather in-formation regarding DFMA implementations, application areas, approaches and potential risks that need to be eliminated for a successful implementation. In order to map the product development and manufacturing processes of VCC interviews are per-formed. The interviews also gathered information regarding what VCC employees thinks of DFMA and how they wish to use it. This information is compiled into a demand specification where the de-mands are weighted after importance by the interviewees. After the pre-study, three idea generation sessions is performed with three different focus groups. The generated ideas are then evaluated and classified. The remaining ideas are classified with the purpose of enabling the possibility to use a morphological chart to build whole concepts from the single ideas. Three concepts are chosen amongst the generated concepts. These concepts are then evaluated against the weighted demand specification. The concept considered most suitable is further devel-oped which resulted in a proposed DFMA method for VCC. A case study on a product is performed in order to communicate, test and evaluate the final DFMA method. The project is rounded off with discussions regarding DFMA and the suggested method from sustain-ability point of view and how to motivate usage. All results and discussions from the project are handed over to the company, enabling further research on a possible implementation of DFMA in the organization.
Volvo Cars Corporation arbetar hängivet efter metoderna Lean och Sex Sigma och har avsikt att im-plementera Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) i syfte att förbättra deras produkt- och produktutvecklingsprocess. Målet med detta arbete är att undersöka om DFMA är en värdefull me-tod för VCC att använda och hur metoden kan tänkas användas och implementeras inom organisat-ionen. Som utgångspunkt för att förstå DFMA metoden och dess möjligheter genomförs en litteraturstudie. Under studien granskades aktuella vetenskapliga artiklar, tekniska böcker och webbkällor i syfte att samla information om DFMA-implementeringar, användningsområden, tillvägagångsätt och potenti-ella risker som behövs elimineras för en lyckad implementation av metoden. Vidare utförs intervjuer i syfte att kartlägga produktutvecklings- och tillverkningsprocessen samt samla information om hur anställda ställer sig till, och önskar använda DFMA. Denna information sammanställs sedan till en kravspecifikation där kraven i sin tur viktas av intervjuobjekten efter hur viktiga de anses vara. Tre idégenereringssessioner utförs därefter med tre olika fokusgrupper. Dessa idéer gallras sedan ut och klassificeras för att sedan kombineras med hjälp av en morfologisk tabell i syfte att bygga kon-cept av de enskilda idéerna. Tre koncept väljs ut bland de genererade koncepten. Dessa koncept utvärderas sedan mot varandra med kravspecifikationen som bedömningsskala. Det koncept som bedöms som mest lämpligt vidare-utvecklas och en föreslagen metod för VCC tas fram. För att testa och illustrera den slutgiltiga meto-den genomförs en fallstudie på en produkt. Arbetet rundas av med diskussioner kring DFMA och den föreslagna metoden ur både hållbarhets-synpunkt och motivationssynpunkt. Samtliga resultat och diskussioner överlämnas sedan till företa-get för att möjliggöra vidare undersökningar kring en eventuell implementation av DFMA.

A seguinte dissertação tem como objetivo explorar a Mineração de Textos através de um estudo amplo e completo do que atualmente é considerado estado da arte. Esta nova área, considerada por muitos como uma evolução natural da Mineração de Dados, é bastante interdisciplinar e vem obtendo importantes colaborações de estudiosos e pesquisadores de diversas naturezas, como Lingüística, Computação, Estatística e Inteligência Artificial. Entretanto, muito se discute sobre como deve ser um processo completo de investigação textual, de forma a tirar máximo proveito das técnicas adotadas nas mais variadas abordagens. Desta forma, através de um encadeamento sistemático de procedimentos, pode-se chegar a uma conclusão do que seria a metodologia ideal para a Mineração de Textos, conforme já se chegou para a de Dados. O presente trabalho explora um modelo de processo, do início ao fim, que sugere as seguintes etapas: coleta de dados, pré-processamento textual, indexação, mineração e análise. Este sequenciamento é uma tendência encontrada em trabalhos recentes, sendo minuciosamente discutido nos capítulos desta dissertação. Finalmente, a fim de se obter enriquecimento prático, foi desenvolvido um sistema de Mineração de Textos que possibilitou a apresentação de resultados reais, obtidos a partir da aplicação de algoritmos em documentos de natureza geral.
The following essay is intended to explore the area of Text Mining, through an extensive and comprehensive study of what is currently considered state of the art. This new area, considered by many as a natural evolution of the Data Mining, is quite interdisciplinary. Several scholars and researchers from fields like linguistics and computing, for instance, have contributed for its development. Nevertheless, much has been discussed on how complete dossier of textual investigation must be carried out, in order to take maximum advantage of the techniques adopted in various approaches. Thus, through a systematic sequence of procedures, one can come to a conclusion of what would be the ideal method for the Mining of documents, as one has come about Data. This work explores a model of process which suggests the following steps: collecting data, textual preprocessing, indexing, mining and analysis. This sequence is a tendency followed in some recent works and it is thoroughly discussed in the chapters to come. Finally, in order to obtain a practical enrichment, one developed a system of Mining of documents with which became possible the presentation of results, obtained from the application of algorithms in documents of a general nature.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 101-104).
An integrative methodology for architecture development in a product development environment is described. The methodology combines the use of the design structure matrix technique with constraint-based modeling to create a process that satisfies the following requirements: 1. Provide a means for modeling the system that provides the capability to gain feedback on proposed decisions. This promotes rapidly system learning. 2. Provide a definition of the linkage between product requirements and design parameters. 3. Provide documentation that makes the architecture explicit and enables others to have access to the architectural knowledge. 4. Increase confidence in the proposed system so that product design can proceed with a minimum of risk. The application of the methodology in the context of the development of the xerographic module architecture for color printing system is described. The project was a clean sheet design using a new color architecture and implementing seven new technologies. A significant result is that once the architecture was accepted and placed under change control, the architecture has not changed in four years. Traditionally, similar projects have had to make significant changes as the design matured. Based on the case study, there is anecdotal evidence to support the hypothesis that the methodology can be successfully used to develop complex systems. It is shown that the methodology is closely aligned to the product development process. During the pre-concept and concept phases, the models were used to develop the system architecture. During the detailed design phase, the models can be used to maintain the integrity of the architecture as the design and technologies mature. Finally, in order for the methodology to be successfully applied it must have the full support of program management and the design and technology organizations.

In order to determine the dynamic factors inducing the evolution of environmental management strategies in the context of sustainable development, I draw upon theory from the field of general evolutionary sciences (including chaos theory, complexity science, and nonlinear thermodynamics). I translate this emerging theoretical worldview to a general evolutionary methodology for the analysis of sustainable development strategies. Application of the methodology to selected case studies indicates that sustainable development strategies co-evolve in response to organizational values, technology, and organizational structure inside the firm, and to the environmental management field outside the firm. Competing notions of sustainable development influence the politicization process that limits the types of sustainable development strategies chosen and implemented. The evidence also indicates that new pathways of efficiency are emerging in sustainable development based on market driven strategies, institutional partnerships, and the formation of new industries. The dissertation is based on case study analysis of three sustainable development projects of three different environmental organizations, the International Institute for Energy Conservation, the Environmental Law Institute, and Sanders International. The results have implications for sustainable development theory and practical implications for policy analysts and sustainable development advocates, as well as for a subtler and deeper personal understanding of our place in the world.

Computer science in general and software engineering in specific is changing very fast. Software engineers are constantly using more innovative and more efficient ways to develop new software than in the past. This continuous evolution of software development methodologies has a great impact on both the software developed and the environment that the developers work-in. Agile software development methodologies are used to overcome many issues in the software development processes. One of the issues which still exists and needs to be addressed is the preparation of proper documentation along with the software. The work presented in this dissertation focuses on software documentation. The work starts by a thorough literature review which focuses on different aspects of software documentation and different agile methodologies. The thesis focuses on finding out the challenges that the developers faces during their development process. Two major questions addressed in the thesis. First one is to find the motivation to document in agile envirionment, whih is based on the hypothesis that there do exist a motivation. The second question is that how should documentation be produced such that we could avoid maximum possible potential problems. These questions are addressed with the help of different perspectives of the stockholders (i.e. developers and users) and the existing methods for documentation. A questionnaire was developed based on the nine categories of documentation, like user documents and system documents etc.. It included different questions related to the types of documents created in software development processes, the software development stage at which the documents are created and the importance of the documents. Questions from this questionnaire are then posted on agile specific discussion forums. Where many experienced and fresh practitioners participated in the discussion. We had a detailed discussion on every component of documentation and problems were identified by the practitioners. The questionnaire was also sent to different companies practicing agile methodology. we received about 14 responses as it was detailed questionnaire with about 34 questions. The responses of the discussion forum and survey are then analyzed and conclusions were drawn. The conclusions include that all the participants consider software documentation very important to the success of a software development project. the question of motivation is answered from the literature and opinions we received from experienced practitioners. While seven factor are identified that affect your documentation, to help solve the question of how should documentation be done.

The analysis of pesticide residues in fruit, vegetables, rape seed and water has been improved using developments in sample handling and analytical techniques. The method development is associated with analytical difficulties, since pesticides currently used in agriculture represent a variety of chemical classes having very different physico chemical properties. The method development also encounters difficulties when many various commodity classes with different characteristics are studied. The main task in pesticide residue analysis has been to provide multi residue methods, and traditionally GC has been the main analytical technique.

In order to regulate the use of hazardous pesticides, the EU commission introduces strict maximum residue levels (MRL). The need for improved sample handling and detection techniques are, however, high due to handling of lower detection limits, complex matrices and the need of more efficient sample throughput. Of the new techniques introduced as alternative techniques to the traditional extraction techniques, pressurised fluid extraction (PFE) has shown to be a promising technique in analysis of pesticide residues in fatty foodstuffs.

In water analysis, large sample volumes are needed due to low MRLs. The solid phase extraction (SPE) technique allows a concentration of large sample volumes and simplifies the tedious laboratory work with traditional separation funnels. A new approach was to use non-polar solvents for the sample extraction from the earlier used polymeric column. Both these techniques provide low solvent consumption, short extraction times and ability to automate the manual steps.

An LC-MS/MS multi residue method was finally developed for pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables. The technique is robust and sensitive and allows a simultaneous determination of 57 pesticides and metabolites in one single analysis and without any clean-up steps. The sensitivity was improved to achieve the maximum residue limits needed by EU. Several multi step methods, which involve more costly analysis, has been replaced by this technique.

Serving geospatial data collected from remote sensing methods (satellite images, areal photos, etc.) have become crutial in many geographic information system (GIS) applications such as disaster management, municipality applications, climatology, environmental observations, military applications, etc. Even in today&rsquo
s highly developed information systems, geospatial image data requies huge amount of physical storage spaces and such characteristics of geospatial image data make its usage limited in above mentioned applications. For this reason, web-based GIS applications can benefit from geospatial image streaming through web-based architectures. Progressive transmission of geospatial image and map data on web-based architectures is implemented with the developed image streaming methodology. The software developed allows user interaction in such a way that the users will visualize the images according to their level of detail. In this way geospatial data is served to the users in an efficient way. The main methods used to transmit geospatial images are serving tiled image pyramids and serving wavelet based compressed bitstreams. Generally, in GIS applications, tiled image pyramids that contain copies of raster datasets at different resolutions are used rather than differences between resolutions. Thus, redundant data is transmitted from GIS server with different resolutions of a region while using tiled image pyramids. Wavelet based methods decreases redundancy. On the other hand methods that use wavelet compressed bitsreams requires to transform the whole dataset before the transmission. A hybrid streaming methodology is developed to decrease the redundancy of tiled image pyramids integrated with wavelets which does not require transforming and encoding whole dataset. Tile parts&rsquo
coefficients produced with the methodlogy are encoded with JPEG 2000, which is an efficient technology to compress images at wavelet domain.

An Internet protocol must follow a certain standard set by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). Internet Standards are plain text documents that are often hard for implementers to interpret. Hence, IETF requires at least two distinct, interoperable implementations before accepting a proposal as an Internet standard. To improve the quality of the IETF standards, we propose a bridging methodology which uses a semi-formal and a formal description technique to bridge from English to a more precise specification. Our bridging methodology (denoted USHLTD) uses UCMs (Use Case Maps) as the requirements source notation (a semi-formal description technique) and SDL (Specification and Description Language, an executable international standard formal description technique) as the design destination notation. To validate USHLTD, we conduct a case study on a widely deployed Internet routing protocol of great current interest called OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and a key function, LSA (Link State Advertisement) refreshment. We analyse the results of applying our approach to the case study, and make recommendations for further research and validation.

In today world, the software companies are expanded above the continents. The software development work span continents and the distributed team work together over the borders. The agile development methodology demands close collaboration with client, rapid requirements change and an iterative development of fixed length. When this way of agile approach is applied in a distributed project, it requires frequent communication and knowledge exchange among the dispersed team members and need collaboration with customer over distance. Besides the geographical, the linguistic and the different time zone barriers in a distributed project, the computer mediated tools suppose being useful media in connecting and to coordinating among dispersed colleague in a project. Though, these tools depict variant effectiveness in communication exchange, however, there efficient use connects peoples at the two sites. The aim of this thesis study is to explore the communication channel support to the Scrum practices in a distributed project. The purpose of the research is to analyse collaboration and communication in distributed teams working together through computer mediated technology. For this purpose, a company case is studied doing a distributed agile project. The author’s insight the communication and information exchange through the ICT in an agile project. Based on the case analysis, the authors suggest the recommendations for implementing and establishing agile practices in a distance project.

The aim of the thesis is to improve the strategy for exploration of life on Mars and potentially other planetary bodies. This was achieved through the analysis of terrestrial analogues, particularly for targets on the surface of Mars. The search for evidence of life requires optimising several aspects including choice of samples, sample preparation and sample analysis. Analogues selected include snow/ice, evaporites and weathered volcanics. The determination of optimal parameters for extraction of biomarkers was performed on carbon-rich and carbon-poor samples using powdered limestone-shale pairs and on weathered basalt. For all samples, extraction efficiency increased (i) up to about 35°C then did not increase further with temperature; (ii) with smaller grain size; (iii) up to 24 hours extraction time then did not increase further. These data indicate that extraction protocols could be optimised in advance. Dry core drilling experiments showed that the resultant powder obscured visual observation, the range of particle sizes did not allow for the most efficient extraction of organics, and the core powder contained less biomarkers than the core as a result of heating. Extracts of melted Cairngorm snow/ice contained a range of n-alkanols up C18 and extracts of particulate matter contained n-alkanols up to C29. High molecular weight biomarkers are poorly soluble in water, emphasising the importance of optimising the extraction protocol. Samples of snow containing snow algae were successfully analysed for biological pigments using Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy. The development of a bioluminescence assay for the detection of ATP was undertaken in the Cairngorm mountains during a summer and winter season. The detection of ATP was optimised by filtration. An assessment of the potential for site selection, on basalt, from visual parameters, proved that fracture density had the clearest correlation to ATP levels determined by bio-assay. Areas of high fracture density can be detected from Mars orbit, therefore such data could be used to highlight areas most likely to harbour microbes on Mars. The research has shown that terrestrial analogues can yield valuable information on how to optimise different stages of the analysis of a range of rock types that may be expected on Mars.

The design of high quality electron generators to meet specific requirements is important in the application of these devices to a variety of materials processing systems (including welding, cutting and additive manufacture), X-ray tubes for medical, scientific and industrial applications, microscopy and lithography. Designs can be analysed by field solvers, and electron trajectories plotted to provide an indication of the beam quality. Incremental improvement of designs has normally been executed by trial and error, and this can be a time consuming activity requiring expert intervention for each iteration of the design process. The unique contribution made to knowledge by this work is the application of optimisation techniques to the design of electron guns to produce beams with the required optical properties. This thesis presents a review of the design of electron guns, including a discussion of thermionic cathode material properties and their suitability for use in electron guns for processing materials, the influence of space-charge on gun design and the derivation of salient beam metrics to characterise the beam. Beam quality metrics have been developed that allow quantification of electron beam characteristics, allowing objectives to be set for the optimisation process. Additionally, a method is presented that enables real world measurements to be directly compared with modelled beams. Various optimisation methods are reviewed. A genetic algorithm was selected, which would use gun modelling and beam characterisation calculations as the objective function, as a suitable method for application to this problem. However, it was recognised that selections for the best evolutionary parameters, the population size, number of parents, the mutation rate and mutation scale, were not readily determined from published work. An investigation is presented where a range of evolutionary parameters was tested for a set of geometrical problems, which had some similarity to electron gun design but could be computed sufficiently quickly to enable an extensive survey, and the most efficient combination of parameters was identified. Detail is given of the customisation of a genetic evolutionary optimisation method for the design of electron guns. Examples are presented of electron gun design optimisation processes to meet specified beam requirements within defined geometric and electrical constraints. The results of this work show that optimum evolutionary parameter settings for the geometric problem vary with the complexity of the problem and trends have been identified. Application of these parameters to an electron gun optimisation has been successful. The derived beam parameter metrics have been applied to electron guns as an objective function. Comparisons of modelled predictions of the beam characteristics with the measured real world values have been shown to be reasonable.

Hydropower has sufficient resources available and is actively promoted by Governments as part of their energy matrix, but its development is constrained by the difficulty of addressing location particularities, including technical features such as geology or hydrology, and institutional features such as social acceptance, environmental constraints and the regulatory framework. Project results emerge from the interactions of these Inherent Features and the Project Architecture and do not always meet stakeholders' expectations, leading to deficient project results and lost value. This thesis proposes a methodology for prototyping projects to reflect these particularities and inform project shaping and decision-making early in the process. The proposed methodology was built on three systems engineering and project complexity frameworks, and lessons learned from four case studies. Its contribution to hydropower development is related to (i) the incorporation of systems evolution over time on the development process, (ii) the identification and management of relationships among the various decomposed elements of the development, (iii) the identification of emergent properties from the interactions among all features, (iv) a prototype for developers to optimize or search for project architectures that meet stakeholders objectives while complying with restrictions, (v) the delivery of unbiased information for decision-makers, (vi) the opportunity of stakeholders to participate in the project shaping in a continuous fashion, and (vii) the delivery of a tool for the implementation team to evaluate and challenge changes to the project during construction. The usage of this methodology does not guarantee the avoidance of errors or unforeseen project outcomes, but it does reduce the chance for unknown risks emerging from the interactions of the evaluated features.

The subject of this Engineering Doctorate research is Knowledge Management (KM) which is a philosophy for improving core business activities of a organisation based upon the examination and development of its knowledge-base. A company knowledgebase is made up of information that is generated from critical activities, e.g. product development, marketing, sales, etc. and by the employees, customers and partners that representthecreative,problem-solvingcapabilitiesofaorganisation. This research provides the automotive industry with a practical methodology that translates the conceptual ideas of Knowledge Management (KM) into a working programme with defined objectives, using industry terminology. The research also developed a supporting analysis methodology that enables a effective examination of the root causes of K behaviour, which spans technical and cultural boundaries. This happens through identifying the factors that impact upon defined KM metrics. These factors can have many definitions, e.g. a software system. The analysis identifies the key influencing factors within a working environment. The research benets are felt when the ground-level drivers of KM behaviour are improved through a link to a appropriate K strategy. The K strategy may emphasise organisational cultural changes or IT changes or both in a endeavour to improveinnovation,reducebusinesscostsandreducetimetomarketofnewproducts. A validation case study was undertaken within the design centre of a leading automotive manufacturer. This exercise implemented the pilot programme and the company working environment was successfully analysed. A series of recommendations were made that would improve Knowledge Management for the company. Finally, a series of further research issues were developed that provide a wider perspective for the contribution of the thesis so that greater be net scan beat tributed to its implementation.

The aim of this work was to assemble an experimental apparatus PVT skilled labor in obtaining phase equilibria at high pressures and determining efficient methodology. Tests were performed mounting apparatus in order to develop methodology. During these tests, the data bubble point of pure carbon dioxide were determined at temperatures of 25, 26, 27 and 28 Â C and compared with data obtained for similar equipment, providing average deviation of 0.4 Bar, 0.6% on the extent being of the same order of magnitude compared to similar equipment. For testing systems in which one liquid component is introduced at ambient pressure in the analysis phase equilibrium torque was analyzed ethanol-CO2 at 40 Â C, and also compared with the literature data. The results obtained in steps preliminary analyzes showed that the system was capable of developing new data phase equilibrium. The study continued with the application development methodology for systems of viscera from fish oil + carbon dioxide oil, fish viscera + carbon dioxide + ethanol, corn oil + carbon dioxide and corn oil + ethanol + carbon dioxide at temperatures of 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 110 Â C for systems without ethanol at temperatures of 40, 60, 80 and 110 Â C, for others. The phase diagrams obtained for all systems studied were of type IV according to the classification of Von Konynen and Scott, which is similar to that found in literature phase diagrams for systems consisting of triglycerides and carbon dioxide, showing the ability development of new data for the set-apparatus developed methodology.
O objetivo desta dissertaÃÃo foi montar um aparato experimental PVT hÃbil ao trabalho na obtenÃÃo de equilÃbrio de fases em altas pressÃes e a determinaÃÃo de metodologia eficiente. Testes de montagem no aparato foram realizados com o intuito de desenvolver a metodologia. Durantes estes testes, dados do ponto de bolha do diÃxido de carbono puro foram determinados em temperaturas de 25, 26, 27 e 28 ÂC e comparados com dados obtidos para equipamentos similares, fornecendo desvio mÃdio de 0,4 Bar, 0,6 % relativo Ã medida, sendo da mesma ordem de grandeza em relaÃÃo a equipamentos similares. Para testes de sistemas em que um componente lÃquido Ã pressÃo ambiente fosse introduzido nas anÃlises de equilÃbrio de fases o binÃrio etanol-CO2 foi analisado a 40 ÂC, e tambÃm comparado com dados da literatura. Os resultados obtidos nas etapas de anÃlises preliminares mostraram que o sistema estava apto a desenvolver novos dados de equilÃbrio de fases. Os estudos prosseguiram com o desenvolvimento da aplicaÃÃo da metodologia para os sistemas de Ãleo de vÃscera de peixe + diÃxido de carbono, Ãleo de vÃscera de peixe + etanol + diÃxido de carbono, Ãleo de milho + diÃxido de carbono e Ãleo de milho + etanol + diÃxido de carbono nas temperaturas de 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 e 110 ÂC para os sistemas sem etanol e nas temperaturas de 40, 60, 80 e 110 ÂC, para os demais. Os diagramas de fases obtidos para todos os sistemas estudados foram do tipo IV de acordo com a classificaÃÃo de Von Konynen e Scott, o que se assemelha ao encontrado na literatura de diagramas de fase para sistemas constituÃdos de triglicerÃdeos e diÃxido de carbono, mostrando a capacidade de desenvolvimento de novos dados para o conjunto metodologia-aparato desenvolvido.

The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) project is an European collabora- tion project that is aiming to construct a next generation gamma-ray spectrometer for nuclear-structure applications. The final array will consist of 180 highly-segmented HPGe detectors mounted into 60 triple clusters forming a full 4π shell. AGATA will utilise pulse-shape analysis and gamma-ray tracking to achieve high photopeak efficiency and peak-to-total. Central to the AGATA spectrometer is the Nouvelle Ac- quisition temps-Réel Version 1.2 Avec Linux (NARVAL) data-acquisition system that will perform pulse-shape analysis and gamma-ray tracking calculations in real time (online). The system is comprised of separate blocks of actions, called actors. Each one containing a self-sufficient piece of code designed for a specific action. AGATA data can be downloaded and replayed through an offline version of NARVAL, known as the NARVAL-emulator. With a new format and techniques there is need to define new methodology to analyse the data. Discussed in the first part of this work will be processing of AGATA data and how by utilising the actors of the NARVAL-emulator different output formats can be chosen. In the next part of this work, the Compton polarimetry capability of an AGATA triple cluster will be investigated by utilising pulse-shape analysis and the detector’s granularity. The basic design of a Compton polarimeter consists of two detectors; one acting as a scatterer and the second as a absorber. The same principles apply to an AGATA triple cluster with each sector act- ing as the scatterer and absorber. The pulse-shape analysis algorithm identifies the positions and energies of the interaction points. Data was obtained from the heavy- ion fusion-evaporation of 110Pd (32S,4n) 138Sm at 135 MeV was used to investigate the Compton polarimetry capability of an AGATA triple cluster. This work utilised the phenomenon that the scattering cross-section for gamma rays is larger in the direction perpendicular to its electric field vector than parallel. This is described by the differ- ential Compton scattering cross-section for polarised gamma rays. A useful event to determine linear polarisation occurs if the incident gamma ray is Compton scattered from the first interaction and then fully absorbed at the second interaction. The sum of the energies deposited in the two interactions gives the energy while the azimuthal scattering angle contains the linear polarisation information. To determine the linear polarisation of a gamma ray, a polarisation sensitivity and asymmetry measurement can be made. Such measurements were made in this work using gamma rays from 138Sm of known linear polarisations. The polarisation sensitivity method utilised the incident and scattered gamma-ray energy, in addition to the azimuthal scattering an- gle information produced from the pulse-shape analysis algorithm. The experimental polarisation sensitivities ranged from 5.0±0.3% at 139.7 keV to 16.4±0.1% at 1287 keV. A asymmetry measurement was carried by determining the number of gamma rays that scattered perpendicular and parallel to the reaction plane. A positive asym- metry would indicate an electric transition and a negative a magnetic one. It was found that there was partial consistency with expectation. From the asymmetry and polarisation sensitivity measurement an experimental linear polarisation for each gamma ray was determined. The result should be in the range −1≤P(θγ)≤+1 with the sign propagating through from the asymmetry measurement. Finally a coinci- dence efficiency and figure of merit was measured and are given as 32.6±1.0% and 3.9±0.2%, respectively at 346.9 keV. Overall it was concluded that there was limited Compton polarimetry capability and proposed reasons for this were discussed.

Le nombre de périphériques mobiles (smartphone, tablette, ordinateur portable, etc.) et les internautes augmentent continuellement. En raison de l'accessibilité du cloud computing, de l'Internet et de l'Internet des Objets (IdO), les utilisateurs utilisent de plus en plus d'applications logicielles qui provoquent un effet croissant sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Ainsi, les TIC (Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication) sont responsables d'environ 2% des émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre qui sont équivalentes à celles émises par l'industrie aérienne. Selon des rapports récents, le Groupe d'experts Intergouvernemental sur l'Evolution du Climat (GIEC), les émissions de CO2 dus aux TIC augmentent rapidement. Néanmoins, les TIC, en permettant de résoudre des problèmes complexes dans d'autres secteurs, peuvent grandement et facilement participer pour réduire une partie importante des 98% restants des émissions mondiales de CO2. L'utilisation du logiciel implique des opérations matérielles qui sont physiquement responsables de la consommation d'énergie. Par conséquent, le logiciel est indirectement impliqué dans la consommation d'énergie. Ainsi, nous devons réduire la consommation d'énergie du logiciel tout en conservant les mêmes fonctionnalités pour le logiciel afin de créer des logiciels durables et verts. Premièrement, dans ce travail de thèse, nous définissons les termes «durable et vert» dans le domaine du logiciel afin de créer des logiciels respectant les critères de ces termes. Pour créer un produit logiciel, nous devons suivre un processus d'ingénierie logicielle. Par conséquent, nous décrivons des critères durables et verts à respecter après chaque étape de ce processus afin d'établir un processus d'ingénierie logicielle durable et écologique. En particulier, nous nous concentrons sur l'estimation de la consommation d'énergie du logiciel. De nombreux travaux ont essayé de proposer divers outils pour estimer la consommation d'énergie due aux logiciels afin de réduire l'empreinte carbone. Pendant longtemps, les solutions proposées se sont concentrées uniquement sur la conception du matériel, mais ces dernières années, les aspects logiciels sont également devenus importants. Malheureusement, ces études, dans la plupart des cas, ne considèrent que le CPU et négligent tous les autres composants. Les modèles de consommation d'énergie existants doivent être améliorés en tenant compte de plus de composants susceptibles de consommer de l'énergie pendant l'exécution d'une application. L'écriture d'un logiciel durable, performant et vert nécessite de comprendre le comportement de consommation d'énergie d'un programme informatique. L'un des avantages est que les développeurs, en améliorant leurs implémentations du code source, optimiseront la consommation d'énergie du logiciel. De plus, il existe un manque d'outil d'analyse pour surveiller dynamiquement la consommation d'énergie du code source de plusieurs composants. Ainsi, nous proposons GMTEEC (Méthodologie Générique d'Outil pour Estimer la Consommation Energétique) qui se compose de quatre couches aidant et guidant la construction d'un outil permettant d'estimer la consommation énergétique d'un logiciel. Ainsi, dans notre travail, en respectant les couches de GMTEEC, nous créons TEEC (Outil pour Estimer la Consommation Energétique) qui repose sur une formule mathématique établie pour chaque composant (CPU, mémoire, disque dur, réseau) susceptible de consommer de l'énergie afin d'estimer la consommation totale d'énergie du logiciel composée de la somme de chaque consommation d'énergie par composant. De plus, nous ajoutons à TEEC la capacité de localiser dynamiquement les points chauds qui sont les parties du code source consommant la plus grande quantité d'énergie afin d'aider et guider les développeurs à optimiser leur code source et à créer des logiciels efficaces, durables et verts... [etc]
The number of mobile devices (smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc.) and Internet users are continually increasing. Due to the accessibility provided by cloud computing, Internet and Internet of Things (IoT), users use more and more software applications which cause an increasing effect on gas emission. Thus, ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) is responsible of around 2% worldwide greenhouse gas emissions which is equivalent of that emitted by the airline industry. According to recent reports, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), CO2 emissions due to ICT are increasing widely. Nevertheless, ICT, in allowing to solve complex problems in other sectors, can greatly and easily participate to reduce significant portion of the remaining 98% of global CO2 emissions. The use of software implies hardware operations which are physically responsible of energy consumption. Consequently, software is indirectly involved in the energy consumption. Thus, we need to reduce software energy consumption while maintaining the same functionalities for the software in order to build sustainable and green software. Firstly, in this thesis work, we define the terms sustainable and green in the area of software development. To build a software product, we need to follow a software engineering process. Hence, we define and describe sustainable and green criteria to be respected after each step of this process in order to establish a sustainable and green software engineering process. Then, we focus on the software energy consumption estimation. Many research works tried to propose various tools to estimate the energy consumption due to software in order to reduce carbon footprint. Unfortunately, these studies, in the majority of cases, consider only the CPU and neglects all others components. Existing power consumption methodologies need to be improved by taking into account more components susceptible to consume energy during runtime of an application. Writing sustainable, power efficient and green software necessitates to understand the power consumption behavior of a computer program. One of the benefits is the fact that developers, by improving their source code implementations, will optimize software power consumption. Moreover, there is a lack of analyzing tool to dynamically monitor source code energy consumption of several components. Thus, we propose GMTEEC (Generic Methodology of a Tool to Estimate Energy Consumption) which is composed of four layers assisting developers to build a tool estimating the software power consumption. Hence, in our work, respecting the layers of GMTEEC, we develop TEEC (Tool to Estimate Energy Consumption) which is based on mathematical formula established for each component (CPU, memory, hard disk, network) in order to estimate the total software energy consumption. Moreover, we add in TEEC the capacity to locate dynamically the hotpoints which are the parts of source code consuming the greater amount of energy in order to help and guide developers to optimize their source code and build efficient, sustainable and green software. We performed a variety of experiments to validate the accuracy and quality of the sustainable and green software engineering process and TEEC. The results demonstrate the possibility to save significant quantity of energy and time at limited costs with an important positive impact on environment

Clinical performance monitoring applications enable performance management of care processes in clinical settings. Although information technology has been advocated as a solution to support the provision of better care, the development of clinical performance monitoring applications is often a non-trivial task. A high rate of failure in IT healthcare project implementations has been reported in the literature due to the disconnect between clinicians and the development team. Furthermore, challenges inherent to the configuration of the healthcare system add to the complexity of developments. Often data sources are not adequately structured or cannot be accessed in a timely fashion; processes are uncoordinated or ill-defined; a plethora of information technologies across different healthcare organizations make interoperability problematic; and there are concerns related to privacy and security. Getting the right information to measure the achievement of the right goals at the right time for the right people is the main task to address when developing clinical performance monitoring applications. In this thesis we propose a development methodology that combines technical and managerial aspects of application development following a user-centered approach. It involves the engagement of stakeholders and users throughout in a three phase iterative process of modeling, implementation and evaluation to ensure user acceptance and adoption of applications when deployed. In particular, our focus is on the development of mobile clinical performance monitoring applications, where raw data about clinical problems are logged by healthcare providers and then transformed into meaningful reports that will support decision-making. The development methodology is evaluated using a case study of a Resident Practice Profile (RPP) application that was developed by a team lead by Dr. Gary Viner from the University of Ottawa medical school.

Westinghouse Fuel Manufacturing in Västerås, Sweden, manufactures fuel rods for nuclear plants. Manufacturing-IT is a software development section at Westinghouse Fuel Manufacturing. This thesis involves the development of a unit testing methodology (UTM) for the Manufacturing-IT section, which currently does not follow a well-defined software test process.

By evaluating different unit testing best practices and UTM design issues collected from literature, articles, papers and the Internet, a UTM document was developed. The UTM document was developed according to requirements from Manufacturing-IT and as an extension to existing documents within the Westinghouse organization.

The UTM was evaluated by applying the methodology in a case study. A single unit within a production control system in the rod manufacturing workshop at the Westinghouse fuel factory in Västerås was tested. Asides from evaluating the UTM, the case study was intended to find software tools that could simplify the unit testing process, and to test the production control system unit thoroughly.

The 182 test cases designed and implemented revealed 28 faults in the tested unit. NUnit was chosen to be the tool for automated unit testing in the UTM. The results from the case study indicate that the methods and other unit testing process related activities included in the UTM document developed are applicable to unit testing. However, adjustments and further evaluation will be needed in order to enhance the UTM.

The UTM developed in this thesis is a first step towards a structured testing process for the Manufacturing-IT section and the UTM document will be used at the Manufacturing-IT section.

By using the methods and other unit testing process related activities in the UTM developed in this thesis, any company or individual with similar requirements for a UTM as Manufacturing-IT, and that performs unit testing in an unstructured way, may benefit in that a more structured unit testing process is achieved.

River bridges get damaged or even collapse because of various reasons, such as development of adverse hydraulic conditions during severe floods, disastrous earthquakes, deficiencies in structural and geotechnical design, material deficiencies, or other unexpected external factors. Failure of service at vital lifelines, bridges, can lead to loss of several lives and properties, traffic disruption, and/or deficiencies in daily usage. Existing structures should be monitored periodically for decision-making and necessary protective works should be implemented to increase the safety. Types of items to be inspected would be categorized as structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, and status of materials. Requirement for periodic inspections and the ways of handling these activities are discussed within the framework of aforementioned aspects with special reference to the current situation of river bridges in Turkey and current practices in USA. An algorithm, composed of sets of checklists, is proposed. In such an algorithm, rank-based prioritization of events is identified. The evaluation and interpretation are displayed with the help of a few case studies, selected among several river bridges around Ankara.

This research focuses on the development of a new methodology for creating effective websites, especially those used for marketing. It was found that existing methodologies were missing some key stages - user participation and “real interaction” (i.e. monitoring of user interaction with a prototype site). This has led to users being frustrated and lacking loyalty to the website. There is great potential for combining aspects of methodologies from different disciplines; however, these need to be integrated in a coherent way. To address these problems, a new integrated methodology was developed in this research. The new methodology was created from basic concepts derived from: lifecycle models; Information Systems development methodologies; methodologies with explicit human factors aspects; websites methodologies; marketing methodologies; and additional techniques such as task analysis and detailed website design and implementation. After studying the lifecycle model, the researcher identified four key principles, which were the foundation of the research: user participation; iteration; usability and “real interaction”. The way in which these four principles were incorporated in each methodology was evaluated in order to choose the strongest stages to utilize in the new combined methodology. After reviewing techniques for methodology integration, a new draft methodology was produced. To assess the new methodology, two research phases were used - interviews and a questionnaire. In the former phase, the researcher interviewed representatives from nine website development companies in Western Australia to discuss their current methodologies and compared these with the new methodology.
Most of the industry participants were pleased with the structure of the new methodology, as most agreed that it incorporates the necessary requirements to develop a successful website. The interviews generated some recommendations for revisions to the methodology, which assisted the researcher to improve the new methodology. In the latter phase, an online questionnaire was completed by a total of website industry participant andInformation Systems Professionals, in order to assess the revised methodology. Results from the interviews and questionnaire supported the research hypothesis – i.e. that the new integrated methodology can provide a more effective way of developing websites, utilizing the four key principles. This thesis points to the need for further research, including the development of a website describing the new methodology. This website will incorporate a software tool to facilitate selection of particular stages, steps and techniques from theintegrated methodology to produce a tailored methodology for any specific project, thereby implementing the concept of “contingency”.
