Applying Human Factors to the Design of Performance Tools
After two decades of research in parallel tools for perfor mance tuning why are users still dissatis ed This paper outlines the human factors issues that determine how performance tools are perceived by users The information provides insight into why current performance visualizations are not as well received as they should be and what must be done in order to develop tools that are more closel...
متن کاملAdapting a Predator-Prey System to Include Age Structuring
This paper examines the process and final result of extending the basic Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model to include different age groups within each population. Basic analysis of the results were performed to determine the relevance of the proposed extension. Calculations and graphing were handled with MatLab. The natural outcome of the model should be either a periodic cycle about an equilib...
متن کاملWeb-based Tools for Engineering Design
The realization of the potential of the World Wide Web as a source of information as well as a platform for collaboration in engineering design calls for developing a new generation of design tools. We provide an overview of the Concept Database (Cdb)a prototype framework for Web-based design information resources management. The implementation of the Cdb proposes an agent architecture for the ...
متن کاملConceptual Design Tools for Civil Engineering
This paper gives a brief overview of the tools we have developed to support conceptual design in civil engineering. Based on the UPGRADE framework, two applications, one for the knowledge engineer and another for architects allow to store domain specific knowledge and to use this knowledge during conceptual design. Consistency analyses check the design against the defined knowledge and inform t...
متن کاملOn Validating Engineering Design Decision Support Tools
In this article, an argument for validation of design–decision methods is presented. In the process of justifying the need for validation, several criteria for a valid design–decision method are introduced. These criteria represent a starting point from which the research community can continue to debate and ponder the validation issue. Under these criteria, a critical empirical investigation o...
