WISE-Tech Design

WISE Design for Knowledge Integration

Scaling research-based curriculum to the multitude of science teaching standards and contexts has proven difficult in the past. To respond to the challenge, the Web-based Inquiry Science Environment (WISE) offers designers a technology-enhanced, research-based, flexibly adaptive learning environment. The learning environment can incorporate new features such as modeling tools or hand-held devic...

Conceptual Design in a High-tech Environment

This article will give an overview over design process models before concentrating on the main subject: Conceptual Design, which has had less academic attention than the detail design phases. In high-tech environments specific conditions apply. This article will deal with these conditions. Some views on design in general are treated and attention is paid to the conditions and steps and to the l...

Design of Prioritized N-Wise Testing

N -wise testing is a widely used technique for combinatorial interaction testing. Prioritizing testing reorders test cases by relevance, testing important aspects more thoroughly. We propose a novel technique for N -wise test case generation to satisfy the three distinct prioritization criteria of interaction coverage, weight coverage, and KL divergence. The proposed technique generates small N...

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND DESIGN OF HIGH - TECH FACTORIES Leon

Contemporary technology for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) integrates computer aided design (CAD) and engineering analysis (CAE) to support rapid, distributed, team-oriented product data development and management, including high fidelity simulation on demand. . This technology potentially provides a platform for creating a new generation of factory design tools which enable “on demand” sim...
