In this paper it is shown that the central features of systematic engineering design process models: a step-by-step concretisation of the product with a systematic variation of subsolutions and recombination are not absolutely necessary. Current models are neither generic nor ideal. Instead of using product characteristics as a basis for design process models, the focus should be on the concrete g

This paper studies the effects of stochastic time delays on automatic control systems which uses communication networks. We assume a linear process to be controlled and known delay probability distributions.The contribution of this paper is to extend the theory in(Nilsson 1998) to delays that may be longer than one sample period.Using a quadratic cost we find the optimal full-state-information con

Critical infrastructures provide society with services that are essential for its functioning and extensive disruptions of these give rise to large societal consequences. Vulnerability analysis gives important decision information concerning improving their ability to withstand strains. To analyze vulnerabilities in infrastructures models for estimating consequences due to failures are needed. Con

Världen är full av guideböcker som pekar ut vad som är sevärt. Nästan alltid är det bara det annorlunda och unika som kommer med. Aldrig skulle stormarknadens parkeringsplats få plats bland åldriga pyramider och bedårande utsikter. Inte heller skulle någon beskriva en rivningstomt som ett hänförande skådespel. Vardagsmiljöer är inget man normalt ger ut guideböcker om. Där finns väl inget att se? M
