Parameter Sweep Experiments (PSEs) allow scientists and engineers to conduct experiments by running the same program code against different input data. This usually results in many jobs with high computational requirements. Thus, distributed environments, particularly Clouds, can be employed to fulfill these demands. However, job scheduling is challenging as it is an NPcomplete problem. Recentl...

This paper explores the use of Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) methodologies and technologies as tools in the Systems Engineering process. Discussed is progress in the development of a system for automating the complex engineering task of electrical wiring design in aerospace vehicles. Knowledge Based Systems capture rules and engineering knowledge relating to one or more processes in the des...

Problems found in the current Systems Engineering with focus in the Requirements Engineering Process shown that it could be improved using ontologies for aiding in the process. Requirements engineering in the Systems Engineering process is enhanced and quality of requirements enriched as well, improving Systems Engineering capabilities clearly can result in better Project Performance. One of th...

Introduction: Requirements Engineering process is a crucial phase in software development. In order to achieve a successful design of health information systems (HISs), applying the best methodologies is essential. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to design pediatrics Epilepsy Information System (EPIS) as well as the use of triangulation approach in elicitation and validation of epil...

Parenting self-efficacy (PSE) describes a parent's belief in their ability to perform the parenting role successfully. Higher levels of PSE have consistently been shown to be correlated with a wide range of parenting and child outcomes. Consequently, many parenting interventions aim to improve PSE. PSE measurement has typically been via self-report measures. However, the wide range of available...

Portal-systemic encephalopathy (PSE) is classified as type B hepatic encephalopathy. Portal-systemic shunting rather than liver dysfunction is the main cause of PSE in chronic hepatic schistosomiasis japonicum (HSJ) patients. Owing to lack of detectable evidence of intrinsic liver disease, chronic HSJ patients with PSE are frequently clinically undetected or misdiagnosed, especially chronic HSJ...

For a recent student conference, the authors developed a day-long design problem and competition suitable for engineering, mathematics, and science undergraduates. The competition included a cryptography problem, for which a workshop was run during the conference. This paper describes the competition, focusing on the cryptography problem and the workshop. Notes from the workshop and code for th...

This paper discusses the use of a domain-indendent, sharable ontology for the formal representation of engineering design knowledge, called YMIR. The central concept in YMIR is that of a primitive generic system model which represents the basic dependencies between the behaviour and the form of a technical system. We believe that it is important to integrate existing formal approaches in the di...
