Engineering infection control through facility design.
Many medical centers have modified their facility design to provide a safer environment for patients. From an infection control perspective, the primary objective of hospital design is to place the patient at no risk for infection while hospitalized. We describe historical landmarks about hospital design, modern facility design, and specific designs to prevent acquisition and spread of infectio...
متن کاملDesign Verification for Control Engineering
We introduce control engineering as a new domain of application for formal methods. We discuss design verification, drawing attention to the role played by diagrammatic evaluation criteria involving numeric plots of a design, such as Nichols and Bode plots. We show that symbolic computation and computational logic can be used to discharge these criteria and provide symbolic, automated, and very...
متن کاملFacility Design and Construction Integration Through Cooperative Network Information Communications
An approach to facility design and construction software integration is described. The approach is based on a federated system architecture in which engineering applications are viewed as software agents that communicate using an expressive message-based communication standard via networked task-independent programs called facilitators. This paper discusses various aspects of this approach, des...
متن کاملEmpathic engineering: helping deliver dignity through design
Dignity is a key value within healthcare. Technology is also recognized as being a fundamental part of healthcare delivery, but also a potential cause of dehumanization of the patient. Therefore, understanding how medical devices can be designed to help deliver dignity is important. This paper explores the role of empathy tools as a way of engendering empathy in engineers and designers to enabl...
متن کاملRe-engineering the design process through computation
This paper reviews the use of computational flow simulation for aircraft design. While computational simulation has already yielded great benefits, its impact continues to be restricted by computational and human costs. The requirements of the design process are examined in detail. In current practice there are bottlenecks in geometry modelling, data handling and mesh generation. To exploit com...
