Biomimetics applies principles and strategies abstracted from biological systems to
engineering and technological design. With a huge potential for innovation, biomimetics …

1.1 Purpose The purpose of this report is to provide a cursory description of some of the
leading Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies used in industry today. It …

We compare five industrial software architecture design methods and we extract from their
commonalities a general software architecture design approach. Using this general …

Product design is one of the most important factors to introduce the circular economy model.
In this discipline, the decisions made influence the whole life cycle of the product, since the …

This paper studies the influence of the type of method, intuitive or logical, used for idea-

Composite decisions consist of interconnected parts or subdecisions and correspond to a
composite (composable, modular, decomposable) system. The composite decision …

Customer dissatisfaction, cost overruns, and schedule slippage are often caused by poor
requirements that are produced by people who do not understand the requirements process …

In this paper we develop a gate level model that allows us to determinethe best and worst
case delay when there is dominant interconnectcoupling. Assuming that the gate input …
