Design For X

Ship design today can be viewed as an ad hoc process. It must be considered in the context of integration with other design development activities, such as production, costing, quality control, and so forth. Otherwise, it is possible for the designer to design a ship that is difficult to produce, requires high material or labor cost, or contains some design flaws that the production engineers have to correct or send back for redesigning before production can be done. Any adjustment required after the design stage will result in a penalty of extra time or cost. Deficiencies in the design of a ship will influence the succeeding stages of production. In addition to designing a ship that fulfills producibility requirements, it is also desirable to design a ship that satisfies risk, performance, cost, and customer requirements criteria. More recently, environmental concerns, safety, passenger comfort, and life-cycle issues are becoming essential parts of the current shipbuilding industry. Therefore, "design for X paradigm" should also be considered during the ship design stages. An integrated multiple attributive decision support system for producibility evaluation in ship design (PRODEVIS) is developed to use by industry and researchers in evaluating the producibility of competing ship designs and design features during the early stages of ship design by taking into account cost, performance, risk, and "design for X paradigm" attributes. This developed approach is a fuzzy multiple attributive group decision-making methodology where feasible design alternatives are conducted by a ship production simulation technique. In this approach, an attribute-based aggregation technique for a heterogeneous group of experts is employed and used for dealing with fuzzy opinion aggregation for the subjective attributes of the ship design evaluation problem. The developed methodology is illustrated with a case study.

Information Support System

The Navy has an impressive record in the application of instructional technology to the design, development, and delivery of training. An information support system is being designed within the Naval Education and Training Command to optimize the application of instructional technology, resulting in increased efficiencies in training, personnel utilization, and professional development for the Navy enlisted force. The Naval Enlisted Professional Development Support System (NEPDISS) will be based upon specific tasks performed by enlisted personnel and will display a complete audit trail from job requirements to subsequent appraisal of task performance on the job. Inherently, it will furnish objectively derived data upon which management and enlisted man alike can base decisions.

Correction Terms

A way to follow in order to reduce the weight of the primary mirror is to accept an higher ratio diameter-thickness and to find a remedy to the consequent greater deformability of the mirror by an active control system of it. A technique using closed loop active optics control has been proposed in references.In these papers, a coherent scheme of active optics control for the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT) was presented, based on analysis of the image errors in terms of an appropriate polynomial (the ESO off-line telescope test polynomial) and the production of equivalent correction terms by force modulation of the primary axial support.

For design, development, implementation and use of an information system (IS) to constitute a valid research activity, the system should support the solution of a non-trivial and important problem and it should be original, drawing on existing theories and knowledge. The design of one such system is described in this paper: specifically, a decision support system (DSS) designed to support the development of ‘Green Growth’ (GG) strategies for Travelism (Travel & Tourism) destinations. A sound GG strategy is important: first, because tourism is a major contributor to the global economy - particularly for developing and island states; second because it represents some 5% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and these are increasing faster than the global norm; and third because the environment is an essential element of destination attractiveness. Thus, the problem domain is certainly non-trivial and important. It is further argued that the design of the DSS artefact described is original and novel in the sense that: i) it supports the entire GG strategy development process (which is actually cyclical); ii) it allows for the sharing of data, functionality and knowledge between different DSS applications and different strategy development exercises in a seamless, integrated manner; and iii) it will be deployed in a global community based program in 2016. System design draws heavily on previous IS, information management and software engineering research; particularly with regard to use of abstraction and interfaces in support of component sharing and reuse.
