	abstract = {We developed a new approach for automated synthesis of a planning logic for autonomous unmanned vehicles. This new approach can be viewed as an automated iterative process during which an initial version of a logic is synthesized and then gradually improved by detecting and fixing its shortcomings. This is achieved by combining data mining for extraction of vehicle{\textquoteright}s states of failure and Genetic Programming (GP) technique for synthesis of corresponding navigation code. We verified the feasibility of the approach using unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) simulation. Our focus was specifically on the generation of a planning logic used for blocking the advancement of an intruder boat towards a valuable target. Developing autonomy logic for this behavior is challenging as the intruder{\textquoteright}s attacking logic is human-competitive with deceptive behavior so the USV is required to learn specific maneuvers for specific situations to do successful blocking. We compared the performance of the generated blocking logic to the performance of logic that was manually implemented. Our results show that the new approach was able to synthesize a blocking logic with performance closely approaching the performance of the logic coded by hand.},

	abstract = {Multi-material molding (MMM) enables the creation of multi-material mechanisms that combine compliant hinges, serving as revolute joints, and rigid links in a single part. There are three important challenges in creating these structures: (1) bonding between the materials used, (2) the ability of the hinge to transfer the required loads in the mechanism while allowing for the prescribed degree(s) of freedom, and (3) incorporating the process-specific requirements in the design stage. This paper presents the approach for design and fabrication of miniature compliant hinges in multi-material compliant mechanisms. The methodology described in this paper allows for the concurrent design of the part and the manufacturing process. For the first challenge, mechanical interlocking strategies are presented. For the second challenge, the development of a simulation-based optimization model of the hinge is presented, involving functional and manufacturing constrains. For the third challenge, the development of hinge positioning features and gate positioning constraints is presented. The developed MMM process is described, along with the main constraints and performance measures. This includes the process sequence, the mold cavity design, gate selection, and runner system development. A case study is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of creating multi-material mechanisms with miniature hinges serving as joints through MMM process. The approach described in this paper was utilized to design a drive mechanism for a flapping wing micro air vehicle. The methods described in this paper are applicable to any lightweight, load-bearing compliant mechanism manufactured using multi-material injection molding.},

	abstract = {Emerging molding concepts, such as in-mold assembly, are enabling electronic structures to be directly embedded in thermoplastic polymers to provide integrated packaging for better protection and a more multifunctional structure in {\textquotedblleft}in-mold assembly processes{\textquotedblright}. During the molding process, stress can develop at the interface of the polymer and embedded electronic component due to shrinkage of the polymer that precipitates fracture or fatigue during the life cycle of the product. Additionally, the interaction between a mold and the polymer melt is altered in a multi-stage molding process where a polymer for superior impact protection can be molded over another polymer that is more compatible with the embedded electronic component. Currently, we do not fully understand the impact of various parameters governing the in-mold assembly process on the residual strains that develop in polymers around embedded electronic components in order to develop process models. Therefore, in this chapter experiments are presented that are designed and executed to measure the strains involved and the manner in which they develop. An in situ open mold experiment is employed using the full-field deformation technique of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) to characterize the displacement and corresponding strain fields that evolve near embedded electronic elements as the polymer shrinks from the molten to the solid state during processes and during break-in of the electronic component. It was determined that the use of multi-stage molding may reduce the residual stresses in addition to providing superior impact protection. However, there was a higher concentration of strain near the polymer-component interface during break-due to lower thermal conductivity. Experimental data was consistent with a thermomechanical model up until the point of failure.},

It is a way of investigating the relationships between the objects to be classified and identifies gaps in knowledge. Classification in engineering also has a practical application; it supports object selection. They can help mature software engineering knowledge, as classifications constitute an organized structure of knowledge items. Till date, there have been few attempts at classifying in software engineering. In this research, we examine how useful classifications in software engineering are for advancing knowledge by trying to classify testing techniques. The paper presents a preliminary classification of a set of unit testing techniques. To obtain this classification, we enacted a generic process for developing useful software engineering classifications. The proposed classification has been proven useful for maturing knowledge about testing techniques, and therefore, SE, as it helps to: 1) provide a systematic description of the techniques, 2) understand testing techniques by studying the relationships among techniques (measured in terms of differences and similarities), 3) identify potentially useful techniques that do not yet exist by analyzing gaps in the classification, and 4) support practitioners in testing technique selection by matching technique characteristics to project characteristics.},

The goal of a major set of these processes is to assure that the product is finished within time and budget, and that a predefined set of functional and nonfunctional requirements (e.g. quality goals) are satisfied at delivery time. Based upon the assumption that there is a real relationship between the process applied and the characteristics of the product developed from that process, we developed a tool supported approach that uses process nonconformance detection to identify potential risks in achieving the required process characteristics. In this paper we present the approach and a feasibility study that demonstrates its use on a large-scale software development project in the aerospace domain. We demonstrate that our approach, in addition to meeting the criteria above, can be applied to a real system of reasonable size; can represent a useful and adequate set of rules of relevance in such an environment; and can detect relevant examples of process nonconformance that provide useful insight to the project manager.},

Based on our experience, this paper discusses this problem and proposes a Framework for Improving the Replication of Experiments (FIRE). The FIRE addresses knowledge sharing issues both at the intra-group (internal replications) and inter-group (external replications) levels. It encourages coordination of replications in order to facilitate knowledge transfer for lower cost, higher quality replications and more generalizable results.},

Therefore, designing multi-material molded objects requires addressing many additional manufacturability considerations. In this paper, we first present an approach to systematically identifying potential manufacturability problems that are unique to the multi-material molding processes and design rules to avoid these problems. Then we present a comprehensive manufacturability analysis approach that incorporates both the traditional single material molding rules as well as the specific rules that have been identified for multi-material molding. Our analysis shows that sometimes the traditional rules need to be suppressed or modified. Lastly, for each of the new manufacturability problem, this paper describes algorithms for automatically detecting potential occurrences and generating redesign suggestions. These algorithms have been implemented in a computer-aided manufacturability analysis system. The approach presented in this paper is applicable to multi-shot and over molding processes. We expect that the manufacturability analysis techniques presented in this paper will help in decreasing the product development time for the injection molded multi-material objects.},

However, designing both products and molds is significantly more challenging in case of in-mold assembly. Currently, a systematic methodology does not exist for developing product and processes to exploit potential benefits of in-mold assembly for creating articulated joints. This paper is a step towards creating such a methodology and reports the following three results. First, it presents a model for designing assemblies and molding process so that the joint clearances and variation in the joint clearances can meet the performance goals. Second, it describes proven mold design templates for realizing revolute, prismatic, and spherical joints. Third, it describes a mold design methodology for designing molds for products that contain articulated joints and will be produced using in-mold assembly process. Three case studies are also presented to illustrate how in-mold assembly process can be used to create articulated devices.},

Devices based on compliant mechanisms usually consist of compliant joints. Compliant joints in turn are created by carefully engineering interfaces between a compliant and a rigid material.

It is, however, not an easy task for most organizations, and it is particularly problematic for software organizations, which are human- and knowledge-intensive.

	abstract = {This paper presents a new parallel-in-time algorithm for the two dimensional transient simulation of SOI devices. With this approach, simulation in both space and time domains is performed in parallel As a result, the CPU time is reduced significantly from the conventional serial-in-time method. This new approach fully exploits the inherent parallelism of the finite difference formulation of the basic semiconductor device equations and the massively parallel architecture of SIMD computers. The space domain computations are inherently parallel due to the nature of our technique of solving the finite-difference equations. Time domain parallelism is achieved by shifting the potentials from previous time points to subsequent points one-step forward along the time axis with each Gummel iteration. This algorithm employs a fixed-point iteration technique, therefore a direct solution of matrix equations is avoided. The algorithm is especially suitable for the transient simulation of SOI devices that exhibit transient drain current overshoot. Numerical experiments show that the new parallel-in-time method is up to eight times faster than the conventional serial-in-time method in SOI transient simulations. The program is coded in CM Fortran for the Connection Machine},

While studying how bias is introduced into a specification it was realized that software defects and bias are dual problems of a single phenomenon. This has been used to explain the large proportion of faults found during the coding phase at the Software Engineering Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center},
