Existing approaches to alternative identification are system-focused, thus missing operational alternatives. Many approaches are ad hoc, thereby missing large portions of the alternative space. This paper proposes...
Employing user-centered design principles along with systems engineering methodology to the development of smarter products has the potential of establishing a novel field of research. This paper introduces a novel user-centered human factors knowledge management framework for collaborative design and modeling of the next generation of smarter products. A conceptual framework and practical application...
In this paper, we propose methods to deal with self-adaptive information systems where one has to control in real time a complex substratum organized with numerous proactive elements continuously producing active links and generating multiple informational exchanges. Such exchanges arise when linking concurrent distributed complex systems. More generally, the growing complexity of today's grand challenges...
