Current approaches to security engineering mainly focus on attacker models, secure mechanisms, and code testing to ensure a high level security standard. However, these approaches do not sufficiently emphasize the usability of the system and the risk arises that the implemented mechanisms create overheads for users or require unworkable user behaviour. In addition, end users will not use securi...

 Increased usage of carbon fibre composite poses challenges for the automotive industry; one is to manage carbon fibre composites within the product development process. This paper combines knowledge in design engineering, material science and production technology, aiming to bridge these domains. The study indicates that mass production methods suitable for carbon fibre have several factors i...

This paper reviews the state of the art on risk communication to the public, with an emphasis on simulation of seismic hazards using VRML. Rapid growth computer technologies, especially the Internet provide human beings new measures to deal with engineering and social problems which were hard to solve in traditional ways. This paper presents a prototype of an application platform based on the I...

Enterprise Engineering proved to be useful when a generally accepted intentional description of information system is not available. A blueprint of enterprise infrastructure provides a basis for system analysis of the organizational and technical processes. It is sometimes referred as enterprise architecture. The major effort of this paper is the demonstration of how to bridge a gap among vario...

It is essential to understand both the static and dynamic aspects of existing software for performance analysis. Software reverse engineering reestablishes the structure and behavior of software and helps with that understanding. Researchers in reverse engineering, however, have focused on identifying components and on static relationships. Efforts on performance engineering are being made to r...

A virtual laboratory for Automatics and Control Engineering can provide university students with easy access to engineering applications at anytime and from any computing environment. This interactive learning environment, consisting of simulations, demonstrations and exercises, can fulfill the role of a bridge from passive learning to active engagement and thus stimulate deeper thinking; groun...

Collaborative corporate requirements engineering and UI specification demands modelling approaches that all stakeholders can understand and apply. Using traditional engineering methods, an IT organization often experiences frustrating communication and competency issues. Current processes lack adequate tool support for networked and complex projects. By integrating overview & detail and zooming...

In recent years, glass-fiber reinforced composite materials are more and more used in structural applications. Their mechanical properties: low density, high strength and high chemical corrosionresistance offer an interesting alternative solution to metallic or concrete material. The pultrusion is a composite material processing technique that is penetrating the civil engineering market since t...

The paper presents a workshop and a contest organized for 25 high school students at the “Politehnica” University of Bucharest in early 2010. These activities were coordinated by both University professors and high school teachers and their objectives include introducing students to robotics and also creating a bridge between engineering university and high school, to attract more high schools ...
