The quest for a general explanation of aging invites us to consider the underlying theory of systems failure known as reliability theory. The objective of this paper is to probabilistically investigate the trends of human aging in different age groups based on their annual mortality rate due to certain disease. Data of two leading causes of death from 2005 to 2008 were analyzed, to determine the significance of the mortality decrease in individual age group, and the sensitivity of each disease with respect to age.","PeriodicalId":437783,"journal":{"name":"Trans.

This study presents a fuzzy linear programming approach for managing the uncertainties and imprecise information involved in industrial APP applications. Detailed discussions are given to the establishment of the Fuzzy Linear Programming approach with converting the fuzzy constraints of uncertain and imprecise items into deterministic equivalents. A mathematical model is developed for APP practice with the Fuzzy Linear Programming approach. For numerically performing an aggregate production planning with the Fuzzy Linear Programming developed, a computer simulation for an actual aggregate production-planning is presented. It is demonstrated in the study, the employment of the Fuzzy Linear Programming provides a great advantage in APP of manufacturing, if the parameters of the stochastic factors involved in the production planning are neither definitely reliable nor precise. The present study shows that the interrelated effects of the customer service level and facility capacity on the effectiveness and efficiency of aggregate production-planning is significant and should be taken into account in performing an aggregate production-planning","PeriodicalId":437783,"journal":{"name":"Trans.

To cope with such an environment, PCS development is moving from a traditional evolutionary to a structured approach. The structured approach is supported by computerised structured analysis methods. However, these methods concentrate on the functional and interface requirements of the product. This paper aims to describe how a systems engineering environment (SEE) can be used for integrated PCS development by addressing not only product functional and interface requirements but also life cycle process and organisational requirements. The particular SEE used, a commercial software package, provides: · notations from different modelling paradigms, used for integrated functional, product, process and organisational modelling; · cross-references, used to link functional, product and life-cycle processes attributes; · frames to capture further information about each data items (e.g. CAD drawings). A major benefit of the application of the SEE for an integrated PCS development is the ability to investigate early in the product development/evolution process the interactions between requirements and attributes not only of the product but also of its life cycle processes and development organisation. It is demonstrated how an SEE can be used to provide better product quality, lower life cycle cost and shorter development time. The application of a systems engineering approach to a product, its life cycle processes and its development organisation in an integrated manner encompasses concurrent engineering. It provides a much broader scope for product development, in this case, the PCS subsystem.","PeriodicalId":437783,"journal":{"name":"Trans.

Any solution to this problem should allow group usability of information, automatic creation of information in target form from the structure in which it was created and selective fast access. This paper presents a framework for doing so based on integrated modeling of software, use of automatic information extraction tools, web technology and databases. We then describe demonstrations that indicate that such a solution can be produced at a reasonable cost in an error-free manner and would meet the concerns of safety analysts about the sensitivity of safety analysis information.","PeriodicalId":437783,"journal":{"name":"Trans.

Design patterns often guide the construction and documentation of frameworks. The run-time architecture of a framework is characterized by an inversion of control: event handler objects of the application are invoked via the framework's reactive dispatching mechanism. This paper reports the development process of a software architecture that has been designed for accomplishing the transfer of operation specifications among interoperable information systems within a larger project, such that · the communication framework does not need to know the structure and different types of operation specifications to be transferred and · the individual information systems do not need to know the communication platform (in our case CORBA). Some design patterns guided the construction of the resulting object-oriented framework to achieve a flexible software architecture. The emphasis of this paper is on the discussion of the development process by which the communication framework has been designed.","PeriodicalId":437783,"journal":{"name":"Trans.

The growing requirement for information support to the globalised social and economic forces makes efficient and effective availability of distributed information and the correlation of relevant data a pressing business need. The most recent CORBA standard of the Object Management Group provides standardised interfaces for accessing remote data but the task of collecting and correlating the relevant, heterogeneous sources is still left over to the human user. The presented work proposes a CORBA-based Data Integration Framework with which data is integrated and offered to users according to their application needs. This framework is composed of two CORBA horizontal facilities, the design-time Object Composition Facility, which supports the data integration process, and the run-time Composed Access Facility which, based on the previously defined data integration, performs all required distributed accesses transparently to the users.","PeriodicalId":437783,"journal":{"name":"Trans.
