Tangible augmented reality intervention for a product dissection task
<p>Functional decomposition is a process used by engineers and designers for identifying functions in various design tasks. The concepts of function and functional decomposition are important in engineering to understand for converting complex problems into abstractions.</p> <p>However, research …

Code Decomposition: A New Hope
<p>Code decomposition (also known as functional decomposition) is the process of breaking a larger problem into smaller subproblems so that each function implements only a single task. Although code decomposition is integral to computer science, it is often overlooked in introductory computer …

Building dependability arguments for software intensive systems
… especially properties that cross-cut normal functional decomposition. The resulting argument documents and validates the justification of system-level claims by tracing them down to component-level substantiation, such as automatic code analysis or cryptographic proofs. The method is …

Investigating the Use of Biologically Inspired Design Tools in a Student CubeSat Design Team Through Workshop User Experiences
… existing methods into a three-workshop sequence: functional decomposition, analogical transfer using AskNature, and contradiction resolution using BioTRIZ. The workshop results showed that participants were able to engage meaningfully with BID when it was introduced through a structured, stepwise …

The project management function in a joint development program
… the requirements of a discerning customer. A functional decomposition is used to determine the requirements of project management. The functional decomposition identifies the highly coupled nature of the project management requirements. Current and proposed new methods are identified and …

An analysis of the impact of modularization and standardization of vehicles electronics architecture on the automotive industry
… interviews, financial data research, systems functional decomposition and system dynamics analysis. Electronics, along with software and control algorithms, enable an encapsulation of functionalities by creating higher levels of abstraction. While early vehicles had an all-mechanical interface …

The transformational implementation of JSD process specifications via finite automata representation
… engineering are often based on the use of functional decomposition coupled with the Waterfall development process model. This approach is argued to be inadequate for coping with the evolutionary nature of large software systems. Alternative development paradigms, including the operational …

Level of Agreement in the Mental Models of Human Factors Practitioners and Systems Engineers Working in Collaborative Teams
… using a graphical brainstorming tool to capture functional decompositions, argued as representing the problem domain component of an individual mental model. This study compared individual functional decomposition models against an average model composed from the same educational specialty, and …

Efficient VLSI Implementation of Arithmetic Units and Logic Circuits
… in series. This tool is based on applying a new functional decomposition algorithms to decompose the initial Boolean-function into a network of smaller sub-functions and subsequently generating the final circuit. The effectiveness of proposed technique is estimated using circuit level simulations …

Intelligent electronic design for mechatronic systems
… was initially defined and developed based on the decomposition of a mechatronic system into its different system components using Functional Decomposition and top down approach. This led to the development and implementation of a computer-based system at lower level and which is used to assist in …

HEXANE : architecting manned space exploration missions beyond low-earth orbit
… potential mission architectures through a unique functional decomposition and use of a decision formulation. Cost-based metrics are derived for the evaluation of architectures, representing both mass-based operations costs as well as development and procurement costs. The full combinatorial …

Computational Augmentation of Model Based System Engineering: Supporting Mechatronic System Model Development with AI Technologies
… languages and of generic structural and functional concepts using meta-models. Modelling the system using descriptive models helps the designer to explicitly document dependencies between properties and parameters of system and external entities. The descriptive models thus produced often …

A foundation for perception in autonomous systems = Fundamentos de la percepción en sistemas autónomos
… concepts like reconfiguration, adaptivity and functional decomposition, which are not easily found in artificial systems. Part V includes chapter 15, in which the major achievements of this work are discussed, and the resulting framework compared to existing theories. Part VI Includes the …
