Welcome to PPI SyEN 152nd Edition, themed “Keeping the System in Systems Engineering". A common thread running through this edition is the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in engineering - and the need to keep that capability firmly within a systems perspective ... The post PPI SyEN 152 appeared first on PPI .

Positioning systems that guide autonomous vehicles, surveyors, and emergency responders face a critical vulnerability: when communication links fail, the precise corrections needed for centimeter-level accuracy disappear with them. Researchers have now developed a method that combines satellite-broadcast corrections with ground-based network data to keep positions accurate for over 20 minutes aft…

"High availability" gets used loosely enough in vendor material that it's genuinely lost some of its meaning everything gets described as highly available, the same way everything gets described as enterprise-grade. The actual concept is precise and worth reclaiming: high availability means designing infrastructure so that the failure of any single component doesn't take down the service that co…

Accurate prediction of the remaining useful life (RUL) of rolling element bearings under target-bearing data scarcity remains a critical challenge in prognostics and health management (PHM). This paper proposes a multi-representation domain generalization framework for unseen-bearing RUL prediction. The framework uses a Bidirectional Multi-scale ConvLSTM architecture to capture temporal degradati…

Design of experiments in engineering: how to plan a simulation DoE, run hundreds of variants in parallel in the cloud, and read the results. Free to start. The post Design of experiments in engineering: how to run simulation DoE at scale appeared first on SimScale .

Fully autonomous space mission operations require the ability to detect faults and compensate for them without human intervention. To address this challenge and provide model-based support for system design and operations, it is important to connect fault management (FM) and model-based systems engineering (MBSE). This approach was successfully demonstrated with the model-based generation of a […]

This article is brought to you by Emerson . I’ve spent much of my career as an engineer, including years in the semiconductor industry. And one lesson has stayed with me through every major technology shift: innovation always creates new complexity. In semiconductors, we have seen that repeatedly. Every generation has delivered breakthroughs in performance and capability, but each step forward ma…

_Engineering Studies_ 15 (2). 2023The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the evolution of Accident Causation Models (ACMs) from the perspective of philosophy of science. I use insights from philosophy of science to provide an epistemological analysis of the ways in which engineering scientists judge the value of different types of ACMs and to offer normative reflection on these judgements. I r…

Scientific models are rarely non-trivial merely because they are written down from definitions. Their explanatory and predictive force usually comes from importing deep mathematical or conceptual structure into a target domain. This paper proposes a formal meta-theory of scientific non-triviality based on the idea that successful scientific modeling is often driven by three distinct mechanisms: e…

For years, Kubernetes has been marketed as the platform that solves infrastructure at scale. It automates deployments, recovers from failures, scales applications, and provides a consistent environment regardless of where workloads run. Yet talk to enough engineering teams, and you'll hear a very different story. "Our cloud bill doubled." "We're running twice as many worker nodes as expected." "O…

A recent KNX-AM segment spotlights a collaboration between USC football and students and one alumnus from the Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering, or ISE. Supervised by ISE Associate Professor of Practice Bruce Wilcox, the team is building a searchable database of play-by-play results from thousands of college football games. The goal: spend less time wrangling data a…

Cross-post. Original: stellarbytecapital.com/blog/cross-border-payment-system-design A payment system has one job that dwarfs all the others: never lose track of money. Features, UI, and even uptime are negotiable in a pinch — a lost or duplicated transaction is not. Cross-border adds currencies, multiple payment channels, settlement delays, and regulators on top. Get the money-safety core right …
