Experiment Planning for Software Development: Redevelopment Experiment

The Application of Reusable Software Components Project (ARSC) formulated an experiment design, data collection plan, and procedures in preparation for a reuse experiment. The reuse experiment is currently in progress and the experiment planning and the results to date are presented. While the design, plan, and procedures were developed to support the investigation of software reuse, they, as w...

An integrated production and preventive maintenance planning model with imperfect maintenance in multi-state system

Production planning and maintenance are two important problems in manufacturing systems. Despite the relationship exists between these two problems due to sudden failures and production capacity occupied by maintenance activities, each of these problems planned separately and as a result program and model efficiencies reduce in the real world. The aim of integrated production and maintena...

Modelling Micro-climate Characteristics for Urban Planning and Building Design

Climate sensitive urban planning and building design require detailed information on effects of a changing climate. To simulate thermal building performance appropriate data are required as “standardized weather files”. But as historic weather records cannot be used to model building performance for future climate, synthetic “future weather” data are necessary. Here we present the steps to deri...
