(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A system dynamics model is developed and run to study the adoption of fiber-to-the-home as a residential broadband technology. Communities that currently do not have broadband in the United States are modeled. This case ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Clean energy technologies lower harmful emissions associated with the generation and use of power (e.g. CO2) and many of these technologies have been shown to be cost effective and to provide significant benefits to adopters. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Across technology industries and particularly at the cutting edge of biotechnology a debate is under way about the proper balance between open and closed - between co-developing products with shared information and open ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)An emerging requirement for 21st century enterprises is operational flexibility, a requirement particularly important for the U. S. Department of Defense (DoD). To achieve flexibility, most practice and research emphasizes ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This thesis introduces a framework and two methodologies that enable engineering management teams to assess the value of real options in programs of large-scale, partially standardized systems implemented a few times over ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Engineering companies frequently face product development challenges. Competitive pressures, industrial or societal innovations, and government regulations are some of the many factors that drive the need for new or better ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis presents a new modeling framework and research methodology for the study of engineering systems. The thesis begins with a formal conceptualization of Engineering Systems based upon a synthesis of various ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis presents an experimental methodology for objective and quantitative design procedure evaluation based on anticipated lifecycle performance of design concepts, and a procedure for flexible design concept generation. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This research develops a comprehensive approach to identify and deal with real options in" projects, that is, those real options (flexibility) that are integral parts of the technical design. It represents a first attempt ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has evolved at a surprising speed since 2003 and is considered to have made positive contributions to the development of greenhouse-gas-reducing projects in developing countries. Taking ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)With the growing demand for air transportation and the limited ability to increase capacity at some key points in the air transportation system, there are concerns that in the future the system will not scale to meet demand. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Large-scale, complex engineering systems, as for automotive manufacturing, often require significant capital investment and resources for systems configuration. Furthermore, these systems operate in environments that are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis considers the problem of achieving better system performance through adaptive experiments. For the case of discrete design space, I propose an adaptive One-Factor-at-A-Time (OFAT) experimental design, study its ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Environmental regulations are typically portrayed as an outside force stimulating development of environmental technologies in regulated industries. In reality, firms influence regulation by communicating their technological ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This research is based on the well-known but seldom stated premise that the design of complex engineered systems is done by people -- each with their own knowledge, thoughts, and views about the system being designed. To ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This dissertation examines the creation and initial use of the precision bombing system employed by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II in the opening phase of the Combined Bomber Offensive against Germany. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)There is a growing realization that stakeholder involvement in decision-making for large- scale engineering systems is necessary and crucial, both from an ethical perspective, as well as for improving the chances of success ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Air Force development of new or evolutionary weapon systems is a complex endeavor due to the involvement of many stakeholders and the presence of considerable uncertainty in the acquisition environment. The ability to adapt ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis has explored a new idea: viewing standards as interdependent artifacts and studying them with network analysis tools. Using the set of Internet standards as an example, the research of this thesis includes the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)We investigate the effectiveness of strategic alternatives that are designed to dampen the cyclicality manifest in the commercial aviation (CA)-related industries. In this research we introduce the conceptual framework of ...
