An introduction to a powerful and flexible network modeling tool for developing and understanding complex systems, with many examples from a range of industries.Design structure matrix (DSM) is a straightforward and flexible modeling technique that can be used for designing, developing, and managing complex systems. DSM offers network modeling tools that represent the elements of a system and their interactions, thereby highlighting the system's architecture (or designed structure). Its advantag...

Dr. Lester A. Gerhardt Professor and Chairman Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, New York 12180 This book is a collection of papers on the subject of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Most of the papers contained herein were presented as part of the program of the NATO Advanced Study Institute held in June 1983 at Castel vecchio Pascoli, Italy on the same subject. Attendance at this two week Institute was by invitation only, drawing people in...

Power consumption is a key limitation in many high-speed and high-data-rate electronic systems today, ranging from mobile telecom to portable and desktop computing systems, especially when moving to nanometer technologies. Ultra Low-Power Electronics and Design offers to the reader the unique opportunity of accessing in an easy and integrated fashion a mix of tutorial material and advanced research results, contributed by leading scientists from academia and industry, covering the most hot and u...

Dieses Buch thematisiert grundlegende Spezifikationen von Bauteilen und Prozessen, Methoden zur Abschatzung der Bauteileignung und Anwendung der Additiven Fertigung sowie zur Entwicklung von Konzepten und Entwurfen. Der Inhalt ist in vier Schwerpunktkapitel unterteilt: Zuerst wird auf die Integration additiver Fertigungsverfahren in bestehende Prozesse und Massnahmen zur Steigerung der Wertschoepfung eingegangen. Nachfolgend sind Konstruktionen von Bauteilen, deren Gestaltung zur Sicherstellung...

This easy-to-follow interactive book introduces a range of frequently-used, but more advanced AutoCAD facilities. Provides a refresher in AutoCAD.

Die Anwendung moderner 3D-CAD-Systeme wie Pro/ENGINEER erfordert neue methodische Arbeitstechniken, die in diesem Buch behandelt werden. Neben notwendigen anwendungsspezifischen Voreinstellungen und Festlegungen wird in die Bauteil- und Baugruppenmodellierung wie die damit verbundene Ableitung von technischen Zeichnungen eingeführt. Darüber hinaus werden fortgeschrittene Modellierungstechniken behandelt. In allen Abschnitten stehen die praktischen Übungen mit geeigneten Konstruktionsbeispielen...

System-Level Synthesis deals with the concurrent design of electronic applications, including both hardware and software. The issue has become the bottleneck in the design of electronic systems, including both hardware and software, in several major industrial fields, including telecommunications, automotive and aerospace engineering. The major difficulty with the subject is that it demands contributions from several research fields, including system specification, system architecture, ha...

Asynchronous circuits provide efficient solutions for many of the recent nanometric technologies, although the lack of analysis and optimization tools has limited the commercial spread of this technology. This book helps readers to understand the difficulties of modeling and analyzing asynchronous circuits. A new modeling methodology is introduced; it is used to build Asynchronous Static Timing Analysis (ASTA) and Asynchronous Statistical Static Timing Analysis (ASSTA). These fast and accurate m...
