this paper defines how a meta heuristic search engine called p.s.o can be used to maximize the objective function of a logistic regression model, describing the relationship between the response variable (product designs' score) and a set of explanatory variables (product design factors). at the first phase the processed data, classified and categorized, by kansie engineering is used as input t...

A tool which can quickly interpret line drawings (with hidden lines removed) of engineering objects as boundary representation CAD models would be of significant benefit in the process of engineering design. Inflation of the drawing to produce a frontal geometry, a geometric realisation of that part of the object visible in the drawing, is an important stage of this process. Previous methods of...

Several varieties of clock drivers with 1ns or less skew from output-to-output are available from Motorola. Microprocessor-based systems are now running at 33MHz and beyond, and system clock distribution at these frequencies mandate the use of low skew clock drivers. Unfortunately, just plugging a high performance clock driver into a system does not guarantee trouble free operation. Only carefu...

This paper discusses some of the requirements for the control architecture of an intelligent human-like agent with multiple independent dynamically changing motives in a dynamically changing only partly predictable world. The architecture proposed includes a combination of reactive, deliberative and meta-management mechanisms along with one or more global \alarm" systems. The engineering design...

48 ABSTRACT Software usability of software system specified how much user feels comfort and attract towards specific system environment, on the other hand Software designing is also an important factor affecting software system success. Usability is not a function of time although researchers have come up with various models and matrices relating these two concepts. It is very important quality...

Surrogate-based-optimization methods provide a means to minimize expensive highfidelity models at reduced computational cost. The methods are useful in problems for which two models of the same physical system exist: a high-fidelity model which is accurate and expensive, and a low-fidelity model which is less costly but less accurate. A number of model management techniques have been developed ...
