This paper describes co-operative design work regarding the development of IT artefacts to be used for communicating within families. It shows advantages of codesigning together with users. Thereby obtaining ‘real life’ experience, understanding and knowledge about their needs and desires. Since there was no specific solution or technology in mind from the beginning, several different methods w...

Issues of industrial productivity are of major economic significance at present not only in the US, but in all parts of the industrialized world By advancing the science of design, and by creating a broad computer-based methodology for automating the design of artifacts and of industrial processes, we can attain dramatic improvements in productivity. Recent developments in computer science, esp...

Combinatorial testing has been suggested as an effective method of creating test cases at a lower cost. However, industrially applicable tools for modeling and combinatorial test generation are still scarce. As a direct effect, combinatorial testing has only seen a limited uptake in industry that calls into question its practical usefulness. This lack of evidence is especially troublesome if we...

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design – ISLPED’15, in the “eternal city” of Rome, Italy. This year’s symposium continues its two decade long tradition of being the premier forum for presentation of research results and industrial experience reports on leading‐edge issues in low power design. ISLPED has always bee...

In this decade, all researchers and industry players compete to develop sustainable product design by exploring natural fibre composites in development. One of the essential methodologies creating composite products is concurrent engineering (CE). Industrial production should be involved development ballistic helmets. This publication aims provide a quick overview evolution helmet designs. manu...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Industrial Liaison Program entitled “Networks and Learning.” The topic was neural networks, their power, potential, and promise. A dozen distinguished professors and researchers presented informative and entertaining talks to an audience of technically minded business executives and industrial researchers who subscribe to MIT’s popular series of sympo...

This paper presents ENVIRON (ENvironment for VIRtual Objects Navigation), an application that was developed motivated by the necessity of using Virtual Reality in large industrial engineering models coming from CAD (Computer Aided Design) tools. This work analyzes the main problems related to the production of a VR model, derived from the CAD model.
