Today, we live in a society where time and space have been shortened by the introduction of digital technologies. This situation puts a lot of pressure on the market and companies unable to adapt are doomed to extinction. Collaboration is needed. Although the Systems Engineering approach brings many benefits to manage risks and to improve the quality, cost and delay of deliveries; we argue in this...
Our knowledge about large earthquakes in stable continental regions comes from studies of faults that generated historical surface rupturing earthquakes or were identified by their recent imprint in the morphology. Here, we evaluate the co-seismic character and movement history of the Rauw fault in Belgium, which lacks geomorphological expression and historical/present seismicity. This 55-km-long...
Nowadays, enterprises such as the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS) span the development of their products across multiple countries with different languages. At the same time, the development of the products involves experts from multiple fields of expertise. For example, thermal and electrical engineers need to collaborate for the design of the same aircraft in the aeronautics...
This paper deals with the problem, coming from an industrial context, of ontology transformations. EADS, as a major aircraft manufacturer faces the problem of integrating works of experts from different domains using different notations. Addressing this Domain-Specific Language (DSL) problem, we previously developed a solution based on OWL2 ontologies for the integration of multiple domains at the...
Nowadays, modeling complex domains such those involving the description of human behaviors is still a challenge. An answer is to apply the Domain Specific Languages principle, which advocates that Domain Experts should model themselves their knowledge in order to avoid misunderstanding or loss of information during the knowledge elicitation phase. But Domain Experts must then be provided a modeling...
Argillaceous formations generally act as aquitards because of their low hydraulic conductivities. This property, together with the large retention capacity of clays for cationic contaminants, has brought argillaceous formations into focus as potential host rocks for the geological disposal of radioactive and other waste. In several countries, programmes are under way to characterise the detailed transport...
