Engineering infrastructures for mobile organizations

2001
Mobile application components can be effectively and uniformly modeled in terms of autonomous agents moving across different contexts during execution. In this paper, we introduce a conceptual framework based on the definition of programmable organizational contexts, which can promote an engineered approach to application design and that, if is ...

Engineering resilient infrastructure

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Civil Engineering, 2012
In recent years high-profile terrorist attacks, industrial accidents and natural disasters have highlighted the importance of resilient infrastructure. This paper discusses the concepts and considerations associated with designing resilient physical infrastructure: the case for resilience is stated, providing a high-level overview of why it is ...

A Flexible Infrastructure for Multilevel Language Engineering

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 2009
Although domain-specific modeling tools have come a long way since the modern era of model-driven development started in the early 1990s and now offer an impressive range of features, there is still significant room for enhancing the flexibility they offer to end users and for combining the advantages of domain-specific and general-purpose languages ...

Critical infrastructures: challenges for systems engineering

SMC'03 Conference Proceedings. 2003 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. Conference Theme - System Security and Assurance (Cat. No.03CH37483), 2004
Infrastructure systems or infrasystems perform critical functions to society such as energy and water provision, transport, and communications. Despite increasing awareness of societal vulnerability to infrasystem failures, relatively little research has been done so far into the impacts of the numerous changes taking place in the system's hard and ...

The Infrastructure and the Civil Engineer

Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering, 1984
The civil engineer has played a major part in the development of this nation's vast infrastructure. Today, the infrastructure is in serious need of repair. The problem today is severe, and encompasses roads, bridges, dams, mass transit systems, and sewage and water systems.

Infrastructure for Courseware Engineering

1995
This chapter offers an overview of what might be called the “infrastructure” for courseware engineering. Courseware engineering can be regarded as an emerging discipline and an emerging set of practices, methods and tools, whose primary goal is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of courseware production. Courseware engineering, broadly defined,

Infrastructure targeting—the role of the military engineer

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Civil Engineering, 2004
The unprecedented accuracy of modern weapons means that enemy assets can be compromised only as much as is necessary to ensure military advantage. The main benefits of such ‘effects-based’ targeting are a significant reduction in ‘collateral damage’ to people and infrastructure, and as a result, a faster return to normality post-conflict.
