Analog and mixed signal integrated systems of today and tomorrow will be very complex, as they meet the challenge and increased demand for higher levels of integration in a System on Chip (SoC). Current and future trends call for pushing system integration to the highest levels in order to achieve low cost and low power for large volume products in the consumer and telecom markets, such as feature-rich handheld battery-operated devices. In today s analog design environment, a fully integrated CMOS SoC design may require several silicon spins before it meets all product specifications and...

Arbeitswissenschaften, Prozessgestaltung und Unternehmensorganisation, Informatik und Unternehmensberatung stutzen sich auf Kooperation als elementare Methode der unternehmerischen Wertschopfung. Um die Prinzipien der Kooperation anwenden zu konnen, beginnt das Buch mit einer grundlegenden Hinfuhrung zum Thema. Die entscheidenden Fragen Wer kann kooperieren? und Was ist Kooperation? werden zum Ausgangspunkt der Bearbeitung: Lebensformen und Vernunft, soziale Systeme und Begriffe wie Intelligenz, Wahrheitstheorie und Kommunikationstheorie werden einbezogen. Der Bogen zur Wertschopfung wird...

This publication reviews most of the available literature on the fatigue properties of annealed Ti-6Al-4V and titanium alloys with similar microstructures. The focus is on processed and heat-treated alloys because annealed Ti-6Al-4V has been selected for highly loaded and fatigue-critical structures, including the main wing-carry-through bulkheads and vertical tail stubs, of advanced high-performance military aircraft.

An important aspect of the review is a concise survey of fatigue life assessment methods and the required types of fatigue data. This survey provides the...

This book contains all refereed papers that were accepted to the second edition of the Complex Systems Design & Management (CSDM 2011) international conference that took place in Paris (France) from December 7 to December 9, 2011. (Website: http: //www.csdm2011.csdm.fr/).

These proceedings cover the most recent trends in the emerging field of complex systems sciences & practices from an industrial and academic perspective, including the main industrial domains (transport, defense & security, electronics, energy & environment, e-services), scientific & technical topics (systems...

In the past decades asset intensive companies have witnessed a number of regulatory changes and especially industry is facing ever increasing competitiveness. To overcome these challenges different asset management methods have been developed aimed to improve the asset life cycle. Especially the design phase and operation and maintenance phase have seen a rise in tools and methods. Smarter design can lead to improved operation. Likewise, improved operation and maintenance leads to lower replacement costs and may provide the basis for better design.

This book brings together...

Environmental Design is becoming an increasingly significant agenda for many manufacturing companies and yet there is no standard to their approaches, strategies or their levels of execution. Applying Design for Environment (DfE) methodologies to develop a more sustainable supply chain has formed procedures and techniques which allow designers to integrate these methods with environmental supply chain management. Design for Environment as a Tool for the Development of a Sustainable Supply Chain aims to define relevant target specifications for a product throughout its life cycle;...

Whilst previous methods for business process reengineering have focused on time and cost reduction policies to preserve competitive services and products, Re-engineering of Products and Processes: How to Achieve Global Success in the Changing Marketplace presents a new approach which aims to include aspects that impact the customer perceived value. This method supports business reengineering initiatives by identifying process bottlenecks as well as new products and services viable to overcome market competition.

This original approach is described step-by-step, explaining the...
