A Simplified Framework for Condition Prediction of Building Components

building a software for prediction of noise propagation in a complex condition (indoor to outdoor)

original article     the aim of this study was to design and build a software for noise propagation prediction (indoor and from indoor to outdoor spaces) which is being commonly used in industry.  in this regard, firstly a mathematical complex model was created based on existing relationships about noise propagation in indoor spaces and transmission through the walls and propagation in outdoor ...

Building a Comprehensive Conceptual Framework for Power Systems Resilience Metrics

Recently, the frequency and severity of natural and man-made disasters (extreme events), which have a high-impact low-frequency (HILF) property, are increased. These disasters can lead to extensive outages, damages, and costs in electric power systems. A power system must be built with “resilience” against disasters, which means its ability to withstand disasters efficiently while ensuring the ...

TROPIC - A Framework for Building Reusable Transformation Components

Model transformation languages are crucial for the success of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), being comparable to the importance of compilers for high-level programming languages. The support of large transformation scenarios, however, is still in its infancy since the development of transformations currently takes place on a low-level of abstraction, lacking appropriate reuse mechanisms. We pr...
