"Information systems are researched, published on, and utilized as an extremely broad and vital sector of current technology development, usually studied from the scientific or technological viewpoints therein. Phenomenology, Organizational Politics, and IT Design: The Social St…
This book introduces a customer-centered approach to business by showing how data gathered from people while they work can drive the definition of a product or process while supporting the needs of teams and their organizations. This is a practical, hands-on guide for anyone try…
Textbook on methodology for the systems design of management information systems and information systems - stresses the need for top management involvement in decision making relating to the computerization of business enterprises, and includes a glossary of terms. Bibliography …
Study of modernization in industrial administration and industrial planning in the USSR since 1964 - considers the context of administrative reform and scientific management; examines theories, applications and results of systems design, particularly in the existing economic sys…
A new methodology is developed for modeling a system's evolution to support decisionmaking on alternative actions which affect the system's evolution. The methodology is based upon the goal tree success tree method for hierarchal decomposition of the system's objective. The goal…
This thesis focuses on production, inventory, warranty and quality control problem from both producer's and consumer's point of view. The purpose of this thesis is twofold. First, models for the producers which integrate lot sizing, warranty and quality improvement through preve…
This dissertation provides a more realistic approach to the probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) by considering the effects of partial failure with fuzzy logic modeling rather than the traditional PRA binary logic modeling. This is accomplished by using an integrated methodology …
Complete inspection plans have become increasingly important in the area of quality control due to the growth in modern manufacturing systems that makes complete inspection inexpensive and reliable. In the process of inspection, an inspector is likely to commit Type I and Type I…
A model based control strategy called the Internal Model Control (IMC) is popular in industrial process control applications due to its fine disturbance rejection capabilities and robustness. The tracking of the reference signals is a requirement in many applications. To accompl…
Variable Structure Control (VSC) with sliding mode is a special type of control technique that is capable of making a control system robust with respect to system parameter variations and external disturbances. The chattering of the VSC signal can be reduced by several methods. …
The Advanced Light Rail Transit (ALRT) system developed by the Urban B Transportation Development Corporation (UTDC) uses steel-wheeled vehicles which run on steel rails within a direct fixation track on a guideway. Propulsion and braking of the vehicles is by means of vehicle-b…
There are many systems in the field of biological systems, control systems and communication systems that can be represented by non-linear models. Identification of non-linear systems is a fundamental problem in the fields of control and communication systems. Many investigation…
The Internet brings many new features to the process control and automation field, which were previously difficult or costly to implement in traditional control systems, such as remote accessibility to the plant, information sharing, and software standardization. The Internet, h…
A methodology is presented along with an expert system program for evaluating the impact of animal traction at the farm level in a small-scale multi-cropping system. In its actual version, the expert system program applies to oxen cultivation using Ndama species in the Basse Cas…
An end-to-end approach for scheduling hard real-time periodic transactions in a multiprocessor or distributed system is presented. Each transaction consists of a chain of tasks, where each task is allocated to a processor based on its resource requirements. A transaction may vis…
Statistics show that the cost of control software for computer-integrated manufacturing systems and other discrete-event systems is on the rise. Some of the important reasons behind these facts are: non-reusability and inflexibility. In prior work, we developed a methodology for…
