An interpretive-systemic study of the University of Los Andes

systems Practice 1991年第5期4卷 507-525页

This article is a summary of an interpretive-systemic study of the University of Los Andes in Venezuela. Following the methodological guidelines of interpretive systemology, three interpretive contextual systems were designed in order to "comprehend" the sense of the university. These three interpretive contexts were derived from possible different interpretations of the University Law (Statutes). Results obtained from the "thematic interpretation" of university activities and decision taking reveal an institution removed from any of the missions depicted in the interpretive contexts. A fourth interpretive context was designed to provide an interpretation of the regulative role the institution plays in order to maintain a particular social order and power structure. This fourth interpretive context shows greater interpretive power with regard to actual university activities than the other three. © 1991 Plenum Publishing Corporation.

A valuable technique during concept development is rapid prototyping of software for key design components. This approach is particularly useful when the optimum design approach is not readily apparent or several known alternatives need to be rapidly evaluated. A problem inherent in rapid prototyping is the lack of a "target system" with which to interface. Some alternatives are to develop test driver libraries, integrate the prototype with an existing working simulator, or build one for the specific problem. This paper presents a unique approach to concept development using rapid prototyping for concept development and scenario-based simulation for concept verification. The rapid prototyping environment, derived from artificial intelligence technology, is based on a blackboard architecture. The rapid prototype simulation capability is provided through an object-oriented modeling environment. It is shown how both simulation and blackboard technologies are used collectively to rapidly gain insight into a tenacious problem. A specific example will be discussed where this approach was used to evolve the logic of a mission controller for an autonomous underwater vehicle.

The most common process for remediating contaminated ground water is extraction and treatment. Data from 19 on-going and completed ground water extraction systems were collected and analyzed (U.S. EPA 1989b) to evaluate the effectiveness of this process in achieving cleanup concentration goals for ground water. This analysis indicated several trends including (1) containment of ground water plumes was usually achieved;(2) contaminant concentrations dropped significantly initially followed by a leveling out;(3) after the period of initial rapid decline, the continued decreases in concentration were usually slower than anticipated;and (4) certain data important to optimizing system design and operation had often not been collected during the site characterization phase. Factors limiting the achievement of cleanup concentration goals fell into four basic categories: (1) hydrogeological factors, such as subsurface heterogeneity, low-permeability units, and presence of fractures;(2) contaminant-related factors, such as high sorption to soil and presence of non-aqueous phases (dissolution from a separate non-aqueous phases (dissolution from a separate non-aqueous phase or partitioning of contaminants from the residual non-aqueous phase);(3) continued migration from source areas and the size of the plume itself;and (4) system design factors, such as pumping rates, screened intervals, and extraction well locations. The findings of this study indicate that ground water extraction is an effective method for preventing additional migration of contaminant plumes and achieving risk reduction. However, the findings indicate that in many situations, it may not be practicable to rely solely on ground water extraction and treatment to achieve health-based cleanup concentrations throughout the contaminated zone and fulfill the primary goal of returning ground water to beneficial use. This study suggests several recommendations (U.S. EPA 1989a) for improving ground water response acti

SOFTWARE engineering TOOLS SUPPORTING ADISSA METHODOLOGY FOR systems-ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

引用

INFORMATION AND SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY 1990年第5期32卷 357-369页

作者： SHOVAL, P MANOR, O Computer and Information Systems Program Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Ben-Gurion University of the Negev P.O. Box 653 Beer Sheva 84105 Israel.

In software engineering, computer-aided software engineering tools are used to implement the methodologies of development in an automated or semiautomated environment. A number of tools are presented that were developed to support ADISSA (Architectural Design of Information systems Based on Structure Analysis), a comprehensive methodology that treats analysis, design, and data modeling aspects as stages of a continuous process. This methodology covers in a unified way the stages of functional analysis, transactions (process) design, interface design, database schema design, input-output design, and structured prototyping. The personal computer-based ADISSA-supporting tools provide an automated environment that enables the analysts or designers, who work according to the methodology, to draw hierarchical dataflow diagrams and check their correctness, to design the transactions of the systems, the interface - a menu-tree - and the database schema, and to maintain an integrated data dictionary.

Appropriate Automation – Integrating Technical, Human, Organizational, Economic, and Cultural Factors

IFAC Proceedings Volumes 1990年第8期23卷 1-19页

Automation technology, including digital computer and communication techniques, is being applied in an ever-increasing range of private and public spheres, also reaching third-world cultures not previously exposed to such technology. This invokes the engineer's responsibility to consider the direct and indirect effects caused by this technology. The question is when and how to include these factors in the design and implementation process, prospectively avoiding bad effects and still fulfilling the goals imposed on the engineer by his client. To be able to carry that responsibility and make proper design decisions, the engineer must both understand 'appropriateness' within a given boundary, and have decision authority together with other parties participating in the design. Whereas sound methodologies for user-centred design are appearing, anticipating and considering the cultural effects of automation is an area going far beyond engineering. Nevertheless, engineers should get more deeply involved in comprehensive technology assessment. Encouraging experiences show how novel design approaches and consideration of comprehensive sets of requirements can lead to better overall system performance, but much research on open questions remains to be done.

PRODUCTIVITY - HOW TO ORGANIZE THE management AND HOW TO MANAGE THE ORGANIZATION

引用

NAVAL ENGINEERS JOURNAL 1990年第6期102卷 26-34页

作者： CHIRILLO, LD USN (RET.) is known for teaching modern management science applied for shipyard operations. His clients include firms and government agencies in the United States Canada the Peoples Republic of China the United Kingdom Australia New Zealand and Spain. His unique insight comes from sixteen years as a manager for the United States government/industry National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP). In that capacity he specialized in identifying the logic and principles of the flexible manufacturing approach applied by the world's foremost manager of shipyards Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. (IHI) of Japan. The author's previous experiences include management of: engineering and inspection activities for a naval supervisor of shipbuilding ship maintenance as a member of a naval operating staff production planning engineering and material matters in both public and private shipyards research projects for the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Ships (currently Naval Sea Systems Command) and engineering plants in both merchant and naval ships.

Without acceptance of a product work breakdown structure for the construction, modernization and overhaul of ships, a shipyard will not enter what is now being called the information age. With too few exceptions, top managers have yet to demonstrate the knowledge, courage, and leadership required to reorganize and remold entrenched middle managers who are functional specialists, each concerned with a parochial interest. The information age requires generalists who are dedicated to constantly improving entire manufacturing systems. As means to encourage adoption of a product work breakdown structure, this paper discusses: a basic product organization, its benefits, and its unique ability to generate data, without which a manager is not in full charge of a shipyard, public or private.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IN NAVY LOGISTICS SUPPORT

引用

NAVAL ENGINEERS JOURNAL 1990年第3期102卷 111-118页

作者： HOUTS, RE The Author:is the director of the Advanced Logistics Technology Division in the Naval Supply Systems Command (NavSup) Engineering and Quality Directorate. He is responsible for managing Nav-Sup's lead role Navy-wide in the research and development of techniques processes and systems to improve Navy readiness and productivity. In this role his office serves as the Navy's Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistics Support (CALS) primary support office. Mr. Houts has more than 19 years of government service as a career logistics manager including a year-long assignment in OSD. Prior to being selected for the senior executive service in December 1985 and accepting his current position Mr. Houts spent 15 years at the Naval Air System Command. He has had extensive experience in logistics program initiation on major aircraft systems and in the development of contractual documents to implement logistics programs. He holds a B.S. degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan and an M.S. degree in systems management from the University of Southern California.

In the face of present and foreseeable budget constraints which will severely restrict the amount of funding available to provide logistics support to the Navy's operating forces, the Naval Supply systems Command's Advanced Logistics Technology Division is actively pursuing a number of efforts to apply current and emerging technology to improve logistics systems and methodologies. The engineering Data management Information and Control System (EDMICS) program will automate the technical information process from initial acquisition through delivery to the end user, addressing the inability of current paper-based systems to cope with the tidal wave of information requirements for the effective management of weapon and logistics systems. Rapid Acquisition of Manufactured Parts (RAMP) program is applying computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) technology to the production of spare parts which are normally available only at great cost and with extensive lead time. The Standard Hardware Acquisition and Reliability program (SHARP) will standardize electronic system hardware (i.e., modules, power supplies, enclosures and batteries) to decrease development and logistics costs, while providing dramatic increases in component and system reliability. The Integrated Diagnostic Support System (IDSS) project is integrating diagnostic design into the weapon system development process to enhance the ability of the organizational level technician to detect and isolate system/equipment failures. This paper discusses each of these ongoing projects as well as a number of new initiatives being explored for future funding.

GROUND WATER MONITORING AND REMEDIATION 1990年第3期10卷 204-211页

作者： BARROWS, L ROCCHIO, JE Larry Barrows received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in geophysics from the Colorado School of Mines in 1973 and 1978 respectively. He has worked as a systems engineer on Skylab remote-sensing experiments and as an exploration geophysicist in frontier areas of Alaska. Since 1979 he has specialized in geophysical surveying for ground water and hazardous waste site investigations first as the project geophysicist on a radioactive waste disposal program and then as a research scientist for the U.S. EPA. In 1988 he joined Earth Science and Engineering Inc. and LaCoste and Romberg Gravity Meters Inc. (4807 Spicewood Springs Rd. Bldg. 2 Austin TX 78759). Current projects include using microgravity to detect solution conduits in karst terrains and using seismicgroundroll to determine near-surface shear moduli. Judith E. Rocchio is the future air resource specialist on the Stanislaus National Forest (1977 Greenley Rd. Sonora CA 95370). She will obtain the position upon completion of her M.A. degree in air resource management at Colorado State University Department of Natural Resources (1990). She was with Lockheed Engineering Management Services Co. Las Vegas Nevada prior to attending CSU where she was involved in several environmental monitoring programs and coauthored the paper with Dr. Barrows. From 1981 to 1986 Rocchio was a project geologist for Gower Oil Co. and Consolidation Coal Co. Denver Colorado. She received her B.S. in geology (1981) from the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

Field tests were conducted to determine representative total-intensity magnetic anomalies due to the presence of underground storage tanks and 55-gallon steel drums. Three different drums were suspended from a non-magnetic tripod and the underlying field surveyed with each drum in an upright and a flipped plus rotated orientation. At drum-to-sensor separations of 11 feet, the anomalies had peak values of around 50 gammas and half-widths about equal to the drum-to-sensor separation. Remanent and induced magnetizations were comparable; crushing one of the drums significantly reduced both. A profile over a single underground storage tank had a 1000-gamma anomaly, which was similar to the modeled anomaly due to an infinitely long cylinder horizontally magnetized perpendicular to its axis. A profile over two adjacent tanks had a smooth 350-gamma single-peak anomaly even though models of two tanks produced dual-peaked anomalies. Demagnetization could explain why crushing a drum reduced its induced magnetization and why two adjacent tanks produced a single-peak anomaly. A 40-acre abandoned landfill was surveyed on a 50- by 100-foot rectangular grid and along several detailed profiles. The observed field had broad positive and negative anomalies that were similar to modeled anomalies due to thickness variations in a layer of uniformly magnetized material. It was not comparable to the anomalies due to induced magnetization in multiple, randomly located, randomly sized, independent spheres, suggesting that demagnetization may have limited the effective susceptibility of the landfill material. A different 6-acre site survey conducted on a 10- by 10-foot grid was analyzed to determine the maximum station spacing and line separation that could have been used. Essentially, all of the anomalies at this site would have been resolved by a survey conducted on a 20- by 20-foot grid and the larger anomalies would have been detected by a 50- by 50-foot grid.

THE SURFACE SHIP MAINTENANCE CHALLENGE

引用

NAVAL ENGINEERS JOURNAL 1989年第3期101卷 73-81页

作者： JACOBS, KS SMITH, BD Kenneth S. Jacobs:is the acting director of the Naval Sea Systems Command's Surface Ship Maintenance Office. Originally trained as a data systems technician he attended Old Dominion University in Norfolk Virginia graduating with a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering in 1975. Over the course of the last 13 years Mr. Jacobs has served in NavSea as a project engineer for boats and service craft the type desk for AFS AOR AO and AOG ship types and as manager of the Amphibious and Auxiliary Ship Maintenance Strategy Program where he was instrumental in the development and implementation of the Phased Maintenance Program. He is a member of Tau Beta Pi. Bertram D. Smith Jr.:is a vice president of American Management Systems Inc. and engineering technical director of its defense business unit. He received his B.S. in engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1957 and his M.S. and naval engineer degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1963. His experience includes shipboard operational engineering shipyard production planning and conversion project management carrier type commander maintenance engineering NavSea program management and private sector engineering management consulting. A member of ASNE since 1961 he is also a member of ASME and SNAME.

Current and projected future reductions in fleet maintenance funding are compelling the issue of ship maintenance requirements to be rethought on many different levels within the Navy. The Surface Ship Maintenance Office (SSMO) in the Naval Sea systems Command has been involved with many different aspects of the problem. Recognizing the two different aspects of the challenge — doing the right things and doing things right — SSMO has been involved with improvements to front-end maintenance planning: doing the right things. These improvements are being formulated for action on three different levels. The first level involves changes to maintenance management philosophy, dealing with maintenance as a technology subject to systematic processes. The second level involves specific NavSea initiatives to strengthen the technical basis for maintenance requirements. The third level involves actions available to the fleet itself to provide relief. Today's surface ship maintenance funding environment provides both a challenge and an opportunity for improvement. The challenge is to adapt successfully to constrained maintenance resources; the opportunity is to pioneer new approaches to make this possible and establish the precedent for years to come. The groundwork necessary has been laid and work to meet the challenge has begun.
