The automated design of imaging systems involving no or minimal human effort has always been the expectation of scientists, researchers and optical engineers. In addition, it is challenging to choose ...

In a recent InfoWorld article, I introduced the concept of the Agent Tier — a runtime architecture that separates ...

Designing electronic systems has become measurably more complex during the past decade. Many of the products that are developed today are in-fact complex interconnected systems. Using the automotive ...

In this chapter, we report our broad conclusions related to each of the themes we introduced at the start of the report. These conclusions reflect detailed consideration of (1) our research into ...

Designing electronic systems that comprise multiple interacting boards, connectors and cables requires a multi-discipline team collaboration to effectively manage design complexity for optimum product ...

An overview of the mechanical and system design processes involved in microsatellite production. A discussion of the various challenges associated with designing small satellites, along with a look at ...

It is important that engineers document the design process so that they can communicate it to others and ensure no information is lost. It is also critical for convincing decision-makers to approve ...
