Development of a knowledge-based system for cogeneration plant design: Verification, validation and lessons learned

TL;DR: The development of a knowledge-based system (KBS) prototype able to design natural gas cogeneration plants, demonstrating new features for this field is presented, and validation and lessons learned are focused on.

Modelling approach for the simulation-based preliminary design of power transmissions

TL;DR: In this paper, scaling laws and acausal modeling are used as a design tool to evaluate technological alternatives quantitatively from limited design detail information, and the suitability of the proposed methodology is illustrated with the preliminary sizing of an electromechanical actuator for an aircraft primary flight control surface.

Social theory for software engineering research

TL;DR: The need for integrating more social science into SE research and curriculum is illustrated by seven theories to understand key dynamics used to explain a longitudinal study of a software development project.

Conceptual graphs in constraint based re-design

TL;DR: This paper elaborates on the use of conceptual graphs for the representation of different types of objects and constraints in a re– design support system and provides for an elegant way of representing hods functioning and manufacturing constraints.
