Manufacturing is a major driving force and an important pillar for national economic development .It is an important source to create national income. Currently the low level of logistics industry development significantly restricted prosperity and development of manufacturing, and affected the overall competitiveness of the supply chain. The paper firstly explains the relevant research about i...

There are two important aspects to good injector performance in rocket engines—the atomization performance (droplet size and distribution, for example) and uniformity of operation (even distribution of droplets in time and space). In general, both of these aspects are affected by the geometry and operating conditions of the injector. In studying atomization performance, prior work has largely f...

Z is gaining ground in the software development community as a specification language, but there is at present no standard way of relating a Z specification to program code. Hoare logics have been around for about 20 years. They are well understood and widely taught as a method of proving that a program meets its specification. In this paper I look at how a software development might use both t...

Despite the return of sovereignty to China in 1997, the Hong Kong government acknowledges that a high level of English language ability is still required among the workforce in order to maintain Hong Kong’s position as an international commercial centre. Although there is no shortage of willingness on the part of the government to introduce measures to improve worrying English language standard...

May 1999 Continuous process improvement is based on many small, evolutionary steps rather than revolutionary innovations. The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) provides a framework for organizing these evolutionary steps into five maturity levels that lay successive foundations for continuous process improvement. These five maturity levels define an ordinal scale for measuring the maturity of an ...

It has previously been claimed that agent technologies facilitate software development by virtue of their high-level abstractions for interactions. We address a more specific characterization and utility. We believe that it is important to distinguish agent technologies from other software technologies by virtue of a set of unique software characteristics. This is in contrast to much in the lit...

This paper presents a review of methods, practices, and analysis on performance and challenges of Project Management for ICT projects with regards to accommodating change. Specifically, the main interest of the review is to understand the impact that is brought by the dynamic environment of projects developed today. The dynamic environment is synonymous to instability but the traditional projec...

The principle behind software process improvement (SPI) is that product quality is strongly influenced by the quality of the associated software process for development and maintenance. A number of SPI frameworks have evolved from this principle. However, these frameworks are comprehensive and differ in a variety of aspects, making them difficult to compare objectively and to select between for...

One of the important problems in High Level Architecture (HLA) based distributed simulation systems is the allocation of the different simulation modules to the available physical resources. Usually, the deployment of the simulation modules to the physical resources can be done in many different ways, and each deployment alternative will have a different impact on the performance. Although diff...
