A methodology and supporting framework for functional modeling and configuration in conceptual design
… have taken either a top-down or a bottom-up approach to design, and as such, have virtually guaranteed the continued separation of abstraction and detail during conceptualization. This research proposes a methodology based on the blending of top-down and bottom-up approaches. Toward this end, …

Autonomic behavioural framework for structural parallelism over heterogeneous multi-core systems.
… it is possible to subdivide a system into building blocks (modules, skids or components) that can be independently created and then used in di erent systems to derive multiple functionalities. Exploiting such systematic divisions, it is possible to address extra-functional features such as …

Response of grooved composites to transversely distributed and localized spherical contact loadings
… ball-ended indenter. The philosophy of the Building Block Approach is used to develop these tests in the current study in that the cylindrical indenter creates a "two-dimensional loading" (transversely distributed) case, and the spherical indenter adds complexity to the system and creates a …
