This paper tackles the development of a Model-Driven Method for Documentation and Analysis (MDM-DA) of software-intensive systems requirements. This method is supported by Model-Driven Development (MDD) features to improve quality and efficiency for the fulfillment of Requirements’ Engineering activities. Besides, a Conceptual Model for applying MDM-DA was designed, by considering the theoretic...

In this paper, we develop a linear optimization model for minimal cost fulfillment of goods in a business to customer (B2C) scenario. In particular, we focus on an Internet enabled retailer (e-tailer) fulfilling the orders received through the Web. We formulate and solve the least cost optimization problem to determine the best choice among the following three options: dedicated fulfillment, ou...

This paper demonstrates how to construct a reference governor for which the size of its implemented data can be adjusted with an integer parameter ν , ensuring fulfillment of a pointwise-in-time constraint. Using a technique called “blocking,” a management method is established that changes the external reference every νTs period, where Ts denotes a sampling period of a constrained system. Cons...
