A foundation for ontology modularisation
… an ontology and as a starting point in the modularisation process. To solve the problem with module quality, new and existing metrics were implemented into a novel tool TOMM, and an experimental evaluation with a set of modules was performed resulting in dependencies between the metrics and …

Event-B in the Institutional Framework: Defining a Semantics, Modularisation Constructs and Interoperability for a Specification Language
… demonstrate that Event-B lacks formally defined modularisation constructs. Additionally, interoperability between Event-B and other formalisms has been achieved in an ad hoc manner. Moreover, although a formal language, Event-B does not have a formal semantics. We address each of these …

Dynamic simulation of chemical plant
… in DYFLO. The latter employs sequential modularisation which is not always applicable to chemical engineering problems. A novel device of twice- round execution enables ACES to achieve general simultaneous modularisation. During the FIRST ROUND, STATE-VARIABLES are retrieved from the …

Robotic control of a photometric telescope
… The approach adopted involved a high level of modularisation of the software and the use of software simulators in an effort to foster rapid software development and enable more rigorous software testing. Significant attention was also paid to new and emerging technologies and how these may be …

Modular Manufacture and Construction of Small Nuclear Power Generation Systems
… modular build in a nuclear context, explores modularisation principles and best practises in other industries, identifies key constraints and optimisation criteria, and develops a new conceptual framework for modularising nuclear plants based on their size and subject to transport constraints. …

Prefabricated Interiors: Through the Lens of an Interior Systems Theoretical Framework
… scholarship examines how strategies of modularisation and mass-customization differentiate prefabricated interiors from prefabricated architecture. The research fills a gap in the literature by introducing the role of interior design in prefabricated technology. The research underscores …

A knowledge based reengineering approach via ontology and description logic.
… to support program comprehension [131] and modularisation [130]. This thesis suggests that software systems can be represented by ontology and description logic. Consequently, it will help in semi-automating some of the manual tasks in software reengineering. However, there are also …

Hearing voices: first year undergraduate experience of audio feedback
… class sizes and student: staff ratios, greater modularisation of courses with fewer coursework assignments, and students having less face-to-face contact with teaching staff, have presented numerous challenges. The parallel rise in the use of digital technologies in professional practice, …

Development of a 3d bioprinting system, characterisation of bioink and printing microspheroids of hela cells
… factors namely ‘planning’, ‘educate labour’, ‘modularisation’, and ‘standardisation’. These factors were explored in detail to drive the performance elements categorised in Dependent factor which is ‘reduce production time’. The findings provide a model that prioritised the critical success …

Critical success factor model framework for lean management application in industrialised building system (IBS) production
… factors namely ‘planning’, ‘educate labour’, ‘modularisation’, and ‘standardisation’. These factors were explored in detail to drive the performance elements categorised in Dependent factor which is ‘reduce production time’. The findings provide a model that prioritised the critical success …

The Effect of Supply Chain Configuration on Small Modular Reactor Economics
… by the combination of standardisation of design, modularisation of the build process, and progressive reduction in production cost through learning. By employing the most comprehensive nuclear plant construction cost data available, in conjunction with established cost estimating methods, a model …

Ontology-based context-aware model for event processing in an IoT environment
… methodology, which emphasises on the reuse and modularisation. The Competency Questions techniques was used to develop the requirements of this Ontology. This was later evaluated by domain experts in software engineering and cloud computing. The ontology was evaluated based on its completeness, …

Systems Approaches to Enhance Performance and Applicability of Microbial Fuel Cells
… helical anodes. The up-scaling of MFCs by modularisation was demonstrated and it was shown that the use of improved helical anodes can increase the modular length of the MFC without compromising the power performance. Aggregated power produced from the multi-module MFC (containing 5 …

Pragmatic approach to the development of robust real-time protocols
… allow module construction exist, generally the modularisation is restricted to the specification, and analysis must be performed on the (flat) detailed net. The Petri net designs for the type of distributed systems considered in this research are both large and complex. The top down, bottom up …

A multiple viewpoint modular design methodology
… in a cyclic and iterative manner to support modularisation of the artefact design knowledge through the evolution of the design. A computational implementation has been developed to aid the evaluation of the Methodology. The functionality of the Methodology has been illustrated through two …

Reconfigurable modelling of physically based systems: Dynamic modelling and optimisation for product design and development applied to the automotive drivetrain system.
The work of this thesis is concerned with the aggregation and advancement of modelling practise as used within modern day product development and optimisation environments making use of Model Based Design (¿MBD¿) and similar procedures. A review of model development and use forms the foundation of …
