Hybrid user interfaces : design guidelines and implementation examples
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
A hybrid user interface is a new type of computer user interface that achieves high usability by combining features of graphical user interfaces and command line interfaces. The main goal of a hybrid user interface is to ...
The knowledge evolution framework : a knowledge management perspective on the impact of knowledge segregation on product development projects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Developing offerings faster, better and cheaper than competitors has become critical to success. In response to these commercial pressures, many industries have shifted from a sequential, functional development paradigm ...
Form-maker and collaborator : the role of the structural engineer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Over the past century, there have existed two major types of structural engineers. Some, like Robert Maillart, contributed greatly to the advancement of new forms. Others, such as Peter Rice, produced their most innovative ...
Understanding the role of trading in water quality management : based on U.S. experience
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
This research demonstrates an overview of the performance of water quality trading programs currently implemented within the U.S. The role of trading in water quality management is identified through systematical comparisons ...
Dynamic Planning and control Methodology : understanding and managing iterative error and change cycles in large-scale concurrent design and construction projects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Construction projects are uncertain and complex in nature. One of the major driving forces that may account for these characteristics is iterative cycles caused by errors and changes. Errors and changes worsen project ...
Resource allocation problems in stochastic sequential decision making
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
In this thesis, we study resource allocation problems that arise in the context of stochastic sequential decision making problems. The practical utility of optimal algorithms for these problems is limited due to their high ...
Momentum and scalar transport in vegetated shear flows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Environmental aquatic flows are seldom free of vegetative influence. However, the impact of submerged vegetation on the hydrodynamics and mixing processes in aquatic flows remains poorly understood. In this thesis, I present ...
