We present a method to quantify a system's resilience capacity, i.e., the set of degradation magnitudes for which all functional requirements remain satisfied. These requirements come from human stakeholders (e.g., operators, planners) who…
Until recently, research into the sustainable design of interactive systems has primarily focused on the direct material impact of a system, through improving its energy efficiency and optimizing its lifecycle. Yet the way a system is…
In the electrical grid, the distribution system is themost vulnerable to severe weather events. Well-placed and coordinatedupgrades, such as the combination of microgrids, systemhardening and additional line redundancy, can greatly reduce…
Engineering wear models are generally empirical and lack connections to the physical processes of debris generation at the nanoscale to microscale. Here, we thus analyze wear particle formation for sliding interfaces in dry contact with…
The software is changing rapidly with the invention of advanced technologies and methodologies. The ability to rapidly and successfully upgrade software in response to changing business requirements is more vital than ever. For the…
With the growing scale and complexity of high-performance computing (HPC) systems, resilience solutions that ensure continuity of service despite frequent errors and component failures must be methodically designed to balance the…
Global sensitivity metrics are essential tools for assessing parameter importance in complex models, particularly when precise information about parameter values is unavailable. In many cases, such metrics are used to provide parameter…
Machine learning is used for inference and decision making in wearable sensor systems. However, recent studies have found that machine learning algorithms are easily fooled by the addition of adversarial perturbations to their inputs. What…
This paper presents a computational framework for the robust stiffness design of hyperelastic structures at finite deformations subject to various uncertain sources. In particular, the loading, material properties, and geometry…
Degradation models play a critical role in quality engineering by enabling the assessment and prediction of system reliability based on data. The objective of this paper is to provide an accessible introduction to degradation models. We…
Context: Since circumstellar dust in debris disks is short-lived, dust-replenishing requires the presence of a reservoir of planetesimals. These planetesimals in the parent belt of debris disks orbit their host star and continuously supply…
Uncontrolled spacecraft will disintegrate and generate a large amount of debris in the reentry process, and ablative debris may cause potential risks to the safety of human life and property on the ground. Therefore, predicting the landing…
Accurate prediction of remaining useful life under creep conditions is essential for the structural reliability of high-temperature components in critical engineering systems. Traditional approaches based on deterministic parametric models…
The durability of facades is heavily affected by multiple factors like microbial growth and weather conditions among others. Biocides are often used to resist these factors and protect the facades. However, the biocides get washed out due…
Sustainability is an increasingly-studied topic in software engineering in general, and in software architecture in particular. There are already a number of secondary studies addressing sustainability in software engineering, but no such…
Medical devices improve healthcare outcomes but often involve sustainability conflicts across environmental, economic, and social pillars. Existing approaches typically prioritize one or two pillars and lack a unified framework to assess…
Space-filling designs are crucial for efficient computer experiments, enabling accurate surrogate modeling and uncertainty quantification in many scientific and engineering applications, such as digital twin systems and cyber-physical…
Despite significant research that was influenced by Situationally-Induced Impairments and Disabilities (SIIDs) to improve the accessibility of mobile technology, there is still lack of awareness on how to design for SIIDs. Designing for…
An optimization model has been formulated and solved to determine on-condition failure thresholds and inspection intervals for multi-component systems with each component experiencing multiple failure processes due to simultaneous exposure…
Context: As the adoption of continuous delivery practices increases in software organizations, different scenarios struggle to make it scales for their products in long-term evolution. This study looks at the concrete software architecture…
