Rapid prototyping of rapid prototyping machines
Rapid prototyping tools empower individuals to create almost anything. Unfortunately, these tools are still far too expensive for personal ownership. The do-it-yourself community has responded with a slew of home-made rapid prototyping machines, but development times are slow because of the …

Formal specification based prototyping
Rapid prototyping is an approach to software development which attempts to remedy some of the shortcomings of the linear life cycle model, e.g. its inability to cope with fuzzy requirements and system evolution. This thesis first presents a broad survey of rapid software prototyping. It describes …

Systematic Computer Architecture Prototyping
… to other workstation components as well. Prototyping of memory systems is performed using methods to evaluate multiple designs with one pass over the address trace. Statistical sampling of address traces is adapted from traditional cache simulation to improve the performance and trace-size …

Prototyping real-time multitasking systems.
… systems. It also introduces a design prototyping tool that has been specifically designed to gather application specific information pertaining to these factors. Finally, a methodology is proposed that uses this tool to assist in formulating a final design.

Rapid prototyping of green composites
Rapid prototyping employs digital fabrication techniques to quickly manufacture parts. However, the available materials are not yet suitable for making strong, large or durable objects. Composites are materials which are very strong and lightweight, combining the tensile strength of a fibre and the …

Prototyping a Scalable Proof Engine
Formal verification is an exciting development in software engineering, enabling implementations of programs to be rigorously checked against mathematical specifications. Assuming the specification is well-defined, formal verification provides guarantees of a program’s correctness and freedom from …

Prototyping practices in electromechanical startups
… especially in early stages of development. Prototyping is a critical component through the product development process, and when employed eciently, can act as a method for mitigating risk associated with product viability for founders and funders. While extensive research has been conducted …

Rapid Prototyping Job Scheduling Optimization
Today's commercial rapid prototyping systems (i.e., solid freeform fabrication, layered manufacturing) rely on human intervention to load and unload build jobs. Hence, jobs are processed subject to both the machine's and the operator's schedules. In particular, first-in-first-out (FIFO) queuing of …

Prototyping Z specifications in extended Lisp.
Much research has identified shortcomings in the Requirements Description to be the key factor in the failure of many software development projects; the development of formal specification techniques and notations allows the unambiguous statement of requirements, against which an implementation can …

Advances in non-planar electromagnetic prototyping
The advent of metamaterials has introduced new ways to manipulate how electromagnetic waves reflect, refract and radiate in systems where the range of available material properties now includes negative permittivity, permeability, and refractive index. While analytical and numerical tools are …

A Tool for prototyping concurrent design specifications
Process algebra is one formalism which aids in the design and verification of complex concurrent systems by using algebraic expressions to describe the architectural and behavioral aspects. We introduce ACS (Algebra of Communicating Systems), a process algebraic specification language which …

World class manufacturing during prototyping for production
… of World Class Manufacturing (WCM) during prototyping has not been well document; this thesis examines applying WCM tools and techniques to foster a Lean culture by selecting, and optimizing the assembly process, integrating Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, developing standard …

A comparative study of rapid prototyping systems
… of the literature sources across different Rapid Prototyping systems and performance in different build orientations has shown that the publications are few in number. This research aims to provide general information including dimensional accuracy and tensile properties for different build …

Exploring Prototyping Tools for Interactive Fashion Design
… this thesis, I explore the use of computer-aided prototyping tools to develop interactive eFashion garments. I present case studies with makers and two experienced eFashion designers about their design practices and formulate design guidelines for prototyping tools. I then present two prototyping …

Nothing Unwanted: Prototyping Matter out of Place
What we discard never truly disappears. Accompanying the societal shift from post-war scarcity to a consumerist culture, the contemporary building industry relies on abundant virgin materials, machinery, and a global transportation network. Immersed in this culture of convenience, architecture has …
