Based on systematic usage of risk evaluation, it helps in actions priorities definition. Several organisations generate actions belonging to separate business goals, sometimes contradictory. Moreover, maintenance, quality, process, research and development organisations use different approaches to define actions priorities. In this case study, more than 400 engineers participate in this process and generating between 20 to 50 actions sets monthly (each set can contain around 3 actions). This paper demonstrates that it is possible to unify action plans management. This has been achieved by developing a model of management system integrating several quality methods. The proposed tool enables for local managers to have a clear picture of ongoing and planned actions of their areas. For plant managers, it smoothes the coordination among organizations.","PeriodicalId":131616,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd Annual IEEE Systems Conference","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129723428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Market Power is a significant issue for restructured electricity markets around the world. One of the concerns for any power market is whether individual participants can increase their profits by withholding generation from the market. To address this concern, the existence of some tools and indices for identification of dominant suppliers with more potential of exercising market power and controlling them is so important. Market power problems are more complicated in reactive power markets than those in other markets due to the specific properties of this ancillary service. Market Power problem in reactive power markets is investigated and analyzed in this paper. A new index for assessment the potential of reactive suppliers to exercise market power is presented in this paper. Reactive Must Procurement (RMP) is introduced as the minimum capacity of reactive power which must be provided by a reactive resource (whether in generation or absorption mode) to supply reactive requirements of system considering generation and transmission constraints. The proposed index is illustrated using IEEE 57- bus test system.","PeriodicalId":131616,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd Annual IEEE Systems Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128559875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the case of federated identity management, these networks cross system and organizational boundaries. To manage identity in this context, a cooperative contract is set up between multiple identity providers, using a decentralized approach. Establishing an identity management strategy within a single entity is straightforward. However, implementing identity management in a system of systems context presents unique challenges. This paper explains identity management in a federated context, presents the challenges of federated identity management, and provides some guidelines for successful federated identity management.","PeriodicalId":131616,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd Annual IEEE Systems Conference","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124676002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors describe facets of their recent and ongoing research within the field of engineering systems to develop constructs and methods for architecting enterprises engaged in system-of-systems (SoS) engineering,. The ultimate goal of the research is to develop a framework for characterizing, designing, and evaluating SoS enterprise architectures throughout the system lifespan as various forces result in entering/exiting of constituent systems, changing environment, and shifting enterprise profile. The nature of systems-of-systems demands constructs for multi-dimensional architectural descriptions, as well as methods for design and evaluation that employ dynamic approaches. In this paper, two important elements in an emerging framework are described, including a holistic enterprise architecting framework and an epoch-based analysis method for examining possible futures of the SoS enterprise.","PeriodicalId":131616,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd Annual IEEE Systems Conference","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113997013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The risk management process maturity guarantees successful product design and development in terms of cost, schedule and quality. The paper proposes a Risk Management Maturity Model based on the six levels of capability of Capability Maturity Model Integration(CMMI) and the four dimensions of organizations, namely culture, risk management process, experience and business applications. The model evaluates the organization in four dimensions against CMMI capability levels and determines where it stands in terms of capability on the CMMI ordinal scale. In the end, a case study is presented in the domain of assembly of auto-differentials to evaluate the risk management maturity of the assembly line.","PeriodicalId":131616,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd Annual IEEE Systems Conference","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124057870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advanced systems are being developed to tailor their level of restraining to the severity of the crash, weight, size and position of the occupant. Starting with a lumped parameter model and ending with a complete crash simulation environment, this paper introduce and demonstrate the benefits of real time control of a novel adaptive restraint system using intelligent control techniques.","PeriodicalId":131616,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd Annual IEEE Systems Conference","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126209931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
