The paper describes a redesign project undertaken in a short period to adapt a software system to user needs. Additional goals of the project included a shift to Open Source software and the selection of technology to enable sustainable system development. The paper chronologically describes all phases of the project and provides reasons for all decisions taken during the development process. T...

This paper evaluates the suitability of a new modell ing method called DEMO for the purpose of Business Process Redesign. On the basis of the theoretical evaluation two extensions are proposed; the Transaction Sequence Graph and the Transaction Process Model. DEMO and the two extensions are applied to a case study. From the case study it is concluded that a DEMO analysis together with the e.rte...

This paper presents a multirate H 1 optimal digital redesign of continuous time controllers. It focuses on the performance of the closed loop system under digital control. The resulting approximation criterion is a measure for stability of the control system. The discrete time controller is obtained through minimization of this criterion , which can be performed with standard software used for ...

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are a common problem among sonographers, with prevalence in human sonographers of 80-90%. However, this problem appears to be largely neglected in the veterinary literature. Awareness of MSDs, ergonomic redesign, workplace management, and physical self-care are components to reducing the risk of developing MSDs. Work-place redesign and alterations in...

In this paper, we present the redesign of an existing TAG for Arabic using a description language (so-called metagrammatical language). The use of such a language makes it easier for the linguist to share information among grammatical structures while ensuring a high degree of modular-ity within the target grammar. Additionally , this redesign benefits from a grammar testing environment which i...

To accomplish a business process redesign project successfully, an enterprise needs to gather information about its present business process situation as well identifying clear and measurable descriptions of the future state. When redesign projects are accomplished it is crucial that the employees are able to comprehend and follow up the new routine and business process documentation. This pape...

Automating redesign of electro-mechanical artifacts presents many difficult problems to the developers of intelligent CAD systems. To address this need requires we identify new AI technologies for representation and planning and effectively apply them to the manufacturing problem. In this paper, we present the redesign problem and outline some of the critical points; presenting how to bring exi...

Sec. S1 describes in more detail the protein redesign algorithms and the computational protocol, including computational experiment design and supporting data, used to redesign GrsA-PheA. Sec. S2 gives details about the structural analysis of the predicted mutants (Sec. S2.1) and the comparison to other methods and evolution (Sec. S2.2). Sec. S3 gives additional details about the experimental p...
