Using Product Architecture-based Design Methods to Get Smart in the Battlefield
نویسندگان
چکیده
At the University of Missouri-Rolla, a novel product architecture design method was utilized to create new designs and prototypes of an intelligent battlefield hazard marking system for the United States Army. This design project was initiated by the Army to improve the current marking system in use worldwide. Designs and prototypes were submitted by three independent interdisciplinary teams of senior-level engineering students. Each team followed a procedure of customer needs collection, functional modeling, concept proving, and alpha and beta prototyping to arrive at their final design. Even though each design team was given the same problem statement and customer needs and followed the same design procedure, each team arrived at a unique final design. By using a functional modeling based product architecture method in their design, the three final designs, though unique, exhibited similarity in terms of a modular design.

Developing an analytical model for the formation of a design scenario in research-based design processes in architecture
Although many attempts have been made in presenting systematic models for design processes, most projects have been implemented by non-systematic methods, which seems that too much emphasis on the description of the final project (product) and the lack of attention to the design process are to be blamed for this. In this paper, a specific pattern of design scenario formation in the framework of...
متن کاملA Mobile and Fog-based Computing Method to Execute Smart Device Applications in a Secure Environment
With the rapid growth of smart device and Internet of things applications, the volume of communication and data in networks have increased. Due to the network lag and massive demands, centralized and traditional cloud computing architecture are not accountable to the high users' demands and not proper for execution of delay-sensitive and real time applications. To resolve these challenges, we p...

متن کاملMining Interesting Aspects of a Product using Aspect-based Opinion Mining from Product Reviews (RESEARCH NOTE)
As the internet and its applications are growing, E-commerce has become one of its rapid applications. Customers of E-commerce were provided with the opportunity to express their opinion about the product on the web as a text in the form of reviews. In the previous studies, mere founding sentiment from reviews was not helpful to get the exact opinion of the review. In this paper, we have used A...
