Controlling change propagation and project policies in IC design

Abstract: Today's large IC designs involve highly partitioned, highly coupled and voluminous design data evolving over time. Tracking design state is becoming an essential component of design tracking systems. In this paper we present the project BluePrint, a design data flow management tool which is an extension to the DAMOCLES tracking system. The project BluePrint is event driven. It defines project data dependencies and controls change propagation. The BluePrint allows the separation of project specific information from tool activities facilitating tool integration. The project BluePrint follows the non-obstructive approach championed by the DAMOCLES tracking system. >

Automation upgrade no.1 blast furnace US steel-Edgar Thomson plant

Abstract: All blast furnace relines are inherently challenging from an engineering and construction perspective. As a result, extraordinary detail is required in planning and tracking the work. This is particularly true of the process control system, which is always the last piece of the puzzle to be put in place. US Steel has established an engineering philosophy called Design for Start-up (DFSU) where such planning is a requirement for all projects. Under this philosophy, US Steel brings together a project team that includes the appropriate US Steel personnel and their engineering and construction contractors, all of whom are required to know and buy into the project objectives. The application of this philosophy paid off for the Number 1 Blast Furnace reline at the Edgar Thomson Plant of Mon Valley Works in the face of some unique challenges.

Notice of Retraction Research on the cost control and estimation of engineering management

Abstract: The paper analyzes the basic principle of the engineering management cost control, introduces the content and method of the engineering management cost control from project bidding stage, construction preparation stage, construction stage, completion and acceptance stage, and points out that the engineering management cost control level is the key of the project benefit evaluation, and is the important way of improving engineering management level and decreasing project operation risk.

Research on cost modified forecast model based on correlation of project

Abstract: Considering correlation of work in project, this paper develops a cost modified prediction in project, which measures the correlation of each work or project using exponential correlation function, modifies the expectation value and covariance of the uncompleted work or project using the completed based on Bayes theorem, and then predicts the total cost of project under the given confidence level This model can achieve early warning if the manager provides the limits to the cost of project

Project ACCESS: Advanced computational curriculum for engineering and science students

Abstract: An upper division, computational laboratory-based course in scientific computing is being developed. The project includes three important components: (1) a case-study method in which topics are taught with an example from the "real" world of science and engineering; (2) the various case-studies are developed by an interdisciplinary team of faculty in order to emphasize all parts of scientific computation: basic science, analytic methods, numerical methods, and visualization; and (3) the students develop solutions on a variety of computational platforms including personal computers, RISC (reduced instruction set computer) workstations, and supercomputers. A case-study description is presented. >
