5 Smarter Products User - Centered Systems Engineering

The introduction of user-centered systems engineering (SE) methodology and design principles to design smarter products has been inspired by the theory of smart environments developed in Germany (Bullinger and Scheer 2003; De Jong and Vermeulen 2003; Scheer and Spath 2004). Intelligent and integrated systems have affected industrial and economic growth in many nations. These developments have s...

Smarter Presentations: Exploiting Homography in Camera-Projector Systems

Standard presentation systems consisting of a laptop connected to a projector suffer from two problems: (1) the projected image appears distorted (keystoned) unless the projector is precisely aligned to the projection screen; (2) the speaker is forced to interact with the computer rather than the audience. This paper shows how the addition of an uncalibrated camera, aimed at the screen, solves ...

Spatiotemporal evolution of clogging of stormwater infiltration systems

Clogging of stormwater infiltration systems is an issue of major importance. Actually, it does not only lead to flow rate reduction and increased ponding but it also reduces treatment capacity when infiltration systems are equipped with bypass devices. The aim of this paper is to present the results obtained in this context. The first objective is to understand and characterize clogging evoluti...
