Annual Revise Project

... Executive Summary e goal of our project is to investigate the fundamental problem that plagues all software development: the gap between the intentions of the designer, as described (often only minimally) in design and specification documents, and the behaviour of the delivered system, as realized in the code. We are developing new languages, tools and methods to address this problem. Our work also incorporates independent analyses of designs and code. By applying our design analyses, we can be sure that the design as described has the intended consequences the designer had in mind. By applying our code analyses, we can eliminate flaws that do not depend on comparison to a design, and can discover properties that can be later fed into a conformance analysis. Rather than pursuing a single, narrow research approach, we have tried to explore the problem from many angles. We consider how a codebase may be analyzed in the presence of some design models; how it might be analyzed if there is no explicit design documentation; and how minimal design properties expressed as code annotations might be exploited. We have developed static analyses that require no execution of the code but can simulate the effect of all possible executions, and dynamic analyses that require a test suite but can produce more accurate results. Some of our static analyses are conservative, and can guarantee properties of all executions; others are sound in their error reports, so that no false alarms are...

Design Thinking

...4. Reflections on design thinking During our discussion session we discussed about several cases of what we consider were good examples of design thinking. The purpose of this discussion was to reflect on how this approach to problem solving can lead to more practical, innovative and human-centered solutions. Year: 2011 Client: Hivos (Dutch NGO) Project Objective: Reduce energy consumption at the public library in Utrecht. Company/Agency in charge of the project: Boondoggle Amsterdam. Name of the project: Seduction Project. Case Searching for examples of design thinking we thought of the seduction project which started in 2011 for the Dutch NGO Hivos. The main goal of this project was to reduce the waste of energy by minimizing the energy consumption. This project was designed by Boondoggle Amsterdam, their central focus is realizing interaction between the advertiser and the customer. “We help brands build business by being remarkable.” Problem The way “The seduction project” approached what seemed to be a wicked problem - How to reduce energy consumption at the public library in Utrecht - is what makes it a good example of design thinking. The high level of energy consumption at the public library in Utrecht was a problem. One of the main causes was the frequent use of the elevator, this was very energy consuming. After a few days of evaluating the human behaviour at the location, they noticed that a lot of people preferred to take the elevator, even though the stairs...

Warehouse Handling

...European Journal of Operational Research, 2009, Vol 193, pp425-436 Authors: Baker P. & Canessa, M. Warehouse design: a structured approach Abstract: In spite of the importance of warehousing to the customer service and cost levels of many businesses, there is currently not a comprehensive systematic method for designing warehouses. In this paper, the current literature on the overall methodology of warehouse design is explored, together with the literature on tools and techniques used for specific areas of analysis. The general results from the literature have then been validated and refined with reference to warehouse design companies. The output is a general framework of steps, with specific tools and techniques that can be used for each step. This is intended to be of value to practitioners and to assist further research into the development of a more comprehensive methodology for warehouse design. Keywords: Facilities planning and design; Decision support models; Logistics; Warehouse design. 1 Warehouse design: a structured approach 1. Introduction Warehouses are a key aspect of modern supply chains and play a vital role in the success, or failure, of businesses today (Frazelle, 2002a). Although many companies have examined the possibilities of synchronised direct supply to customers, there are still many circumstances where this is not appropriate. This may be because the supplier lead times cannot be reduced cost effectively to the short lead times...

As applied to building design energy conservation measures, the process is mandated by law and is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 10, Part 436, Subpart A: Program Rules of the Federal Energy Management Program. The A/E shall contact local utility companies to determine available demand-side management programs and nocost assistance provided by these companies to designers and owners. Applications Basic applications of LCC are addressed within the individual chapters herein and may be further defined within an A-E’s design programming scope requirements. In general, LCC is expected to support selection of all building systems that impact energy use: thermal envelope, passive solar features, fenestration, HVAC, domestic hot water, building automation and lighting. However, LCC can also be applied to building features or involve costs related to occupant productivity, system maintenance, environmental impact and any other issue that impacts costs over time. It is very important to recognize the significance of integrated building systems design in the overall e iciency of the design. Methodology There are many established guidelines and computerbased tools that e ectively support Present Value LCC analyses.

Technology issues 10. Conclusion Introduction Being a student of System Analysis and Design course, we have been required to come up with a concept whereby understanding an organization business function and purpose is set as the baseline. We are also required to propose an idea of a potential project to overcome the existing problem or to improve the business value. Keeping that in mind, we opted on treating Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) itself as our organization business. What is the problem in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS that we are going study and analyse? Currently, the Hostel Registration process is done manually and there is no system available for students to register their hostels. There are setbacks in the manual hostel registration systems which complicates the whole process and makes the life’s of the students much more difficult. So, we are taking up this context as our problem and proposing an idea to overcome it which is to introduce an online hostel registration portal. The team consisting of Vijay Nair, Siva Kumaaran and Kugarubaan worked on a project in order to analyse and the possible opportunities to add value to the system and to cater better registration process for the students. Project background Currently...
