TL;DR: A repeatable, comparable ET&E framework to determine suitability, readiness, and improvement of AUV for Mine Counter-Measures, which maintains a focus on technical capability throughout operational testing, but is adaptable for different organisations, and operating concepts.
Abstract: AUV will increasingly play critical roles for maritime operations and warfare; however, they must first become trusted assets that complement an organisations culture and existing capability. This ...

TL;DR: This paper will demonstrate the application of a developed human comfort model which has been carried out for projects in different climate zones and the importance of considering all aspects, holistically, when determining true comfort for an outdoor microclimate.
Abstract: Consideration for human comfort in the urban plane has largely been focused on the wind speed that a pedestrian might experience due to the surrounding built form, prevailing winds and site exposur...

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical investigation is carried out to evaluate the bearing capacity of two closely-aligned 2-DOF anchors, based on homogeneous soil under the foundation of a building.
Abstract: In an attempt to modify the conventional approach of considering homogeneous soil underneath the foundation, a numerical investigation is carried out to evaluate the bearing capacity of two closely...

TL;DR: Current changeability analysis methods and techniques are reviewed and novel extensions are proposed for observed shortfalls complimented by a theorised discussion of their aptness with application to existing systems.
Abstract: Changeability analysis is the practice of assessing a system’s ability to cope with future uncertainties in a broad sense. This paper reviews current changeability analysis methods and techniques a...

TL;DR: A conceptual framework, which applies to both complex construction projects and systems engineering projects is presented to assist system engineers and project managers in dealing with project complexity.
Abstract: This paper provides a comprehensive synthesis of the seminal literature in complex systems to identify a group of key complex systems parameters and models relevant to both systems engineering and ...

TL;DR: The recent increase in the wholesale price of He has focused attention on exploiting low grade reservoirs as discussed by the authors, which is a non-renewable resource that is obtained from natural gas.
Abstract: Helium is a non-renewable resource that is obtained from natural gas. The recent increase in the wholesale price of He has focused attention on exploiting low grade reservoirs. Cryogenic liquefacti...

TL;DR: In this paper a worked example of a transport infrastructure project that benefits from an object-oriented approach is developed and the use of abstraction and inheritance are illustrated to create a physical architecture that represents the nodes of the deployed system.
Abstract: Object-oriented systems engineering has been associated with software-intensive projects since the mid-2000s However, the design of networked infrastructure projects that require multiple physical

TL;DR: A Model-Based Systems Engineering approach to the development of organisational culture models is described and it is demonstrated how changes made to the integrated enterprise model may yield insight into how organisationalculture will need to evolve as enterprise systems transform.
Abstract: Enterprise systems modelling requires integrated views of both technical systems as well as organisational systems that together will deliver the anticipated capabilities. A major challenge in such...
