The design of a connected engineered system requires numerous design decisions that
influence one another. In a connected system that comprises numerous interacting …

The assessment of the fingerprint PADs embedded into a comparison system represents an
emerging topic in biometric recognition. Providing models and methods for this aim helps …

This paper seeks to address the gap between qualitative Robust Design principles and
parameter optimization. The former often fails to consider the challenging amount of details …

Products are nowadays characterized by rising complexity, so that companies need to adapt
their development processes to resulting challenges. Transferring this need for adaption to …

The functional integration of products is increasing. This is the result of the unprecedented
pace of the technological evolution and the demands from a diverse global market …

Computer tools are commonly used to assess designs. We develop a toolchain using open
source code libraries in Python to provide an open source, interactive robust design …

Products for space applications are traditionally costly and produced in small batches.
Moreover, they must be able to withstand extreme environments and meet tough …

With the continuously increasing integration of (mechanical) products, the identification and
