A multidisciplinary design optimization advisory system for aircraft design

This paper presents the status of development of an MDO advisory system, coupled to an optimization configurator for a process integration and design optimization (PIDO) system. This advisory system can support non-experts in the application of MDO by giving advice on the type of MDO architecture to use and assist in the implementation of the...

Context-dependent ATC complexity metric

Several studies have investigated Air Traffic Control (ATC) complexity metrics in a search for a metric that could best capture workload. These studies have shown how daunting the search for a universal workload metric (one that could be applied in different contexts: sectors, traffic patterns, controllers, or ATC tasks) can be. We propose that...

A methodological approach for the optimisation of the product development process by the application of design automation

A short lead time of the Product Development Process (PDP) is an important competitive advantage for companies. Design automation solutions provide a means to reduce the lead time and improve quality, but their development requires some investment. Before a company can commit to the development of an automation initiative, it requires an...
