11. Introduction of Agile Practices : Strategies and Impacts
Sammanfattning : Background: Software development organizations frequently face changes that require them to be flexible. The principles and practices of Agile software are often associated with improving software organizations’ flexibility. However, introducing Agile practices have its benefits and limitations. LÄS MER
12. Operationalization of lean thinking through value stream mapping with simulation and FLOW
Sammanfattning : Background: The continued success of Lean thinking beyond manufacturing has led to an increasing interest to utilize it in software engineering (SE). Value Stream Mapping (VSM) had a pivotal role in the operationalization of Lean thinking. However, this has not been recognized in SE adaptations of Lean. LÄS MER
13. Enhanced engineering of component-based industrial automation systems using formal methods
Sammanfattning : Industrial automation is facing challenges related to a manufacturing change from mass pro-duction to mass customization. As a result, the focus of automation has been shifting to flexi-bility, reconfigurability and safety assurance resulting in a new class of systems that is heavilymodular. LÄS MER
14. Bio-inspired retinal optic flow perception in robotic navigation
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the bio-inspired visual perception of motion with emphasis on locomotion targeting robotic systems. By continuously registering moving visual features in the human retina, a sensation of a visual flow cue is created. An interpretation of visual flow cues forms a low-level motion perception more known as retinal optic flow. LÄS MER
15. Quasi-analytical Modelling and Optimisation Techniques for Transport Aircraft Design
Sammanfattning : The research work presented here focuses on the subject oftransport aircraft design at the pre-design or conceptuallevel. The primary topics addressed are: (1) generation of avast array of new quasi-analytical expressions to permit aconceptual treatment of commercial and business transportaircraft with adequate sensitivity for more advanced tradestudies; (2) review and adoption of a method to predictstability and control characteristics (using the Mitchellmethod); (3) a study of the relative merits between variousmethods in facilitating an expedient and robust constrainedmulti-objective optimisation result within the context oftraditional conceptual design problems (Genetic Algorithms andNelder-Mead Simplex search); (4) creation of a software packageas a new and unique conceptual tool that permits the generationof design proposals in an accurate yet expeditious manner; and,(5) practical demonstration of the new conceptual designsoftware package by undertaking some actual aircraft designproposals.
