Full textAbstract:
The explosive growth of software systems with both size and complexity results in the recognised need of techniques to combat architectural degradation. Reflexion Modelling is a method commonly used for Software Architectural Consistency Checking (SACC). However, the steps needed to utilise the method involve manual mapping, which could become tedious depending on the system's size. Recently, machine learning has been showing promising results outperforming other approaches. However, neither a comparison of different classifiers nor a comprehensive investigation of how to best pre-process source code has yet been performed. This thesis compares different classifier and their performance to the manual effort needed to train them and how different pre-processing settings affect their accuracy. The study can be divided into two areas: pre-processing and how large the manual mapping should be to achieve satisfactory performance. Across the three software systems used in this study, the overall best performing model, MaxEnt, achieved the following average results, accuracy 0.88, weighted precision 0.89 and weighted recall 0.88. SVM performed almost identically to MaxEnt. Furthermore, the results show that Naive-Bayes, the algorithm in recent related work approaches, performs worse than SVM and MaxEnt. The results yielded that the pre-processing that extracts packages and libraries, together with the feature representation method Bag-of-Words had the best performance. Furthermore, it was found that manual mapping of a minimum of ten files per concern is needed for satisfactory performance. The research results represent a further step towards automating code-to-architecture mappings, as required in reflexion modelling and similar techniques.

An investigation was carried out on the contents of the architectural texts in order to illuminate written architectural knowledge. The thesis takes as its case study the required reading list for Introduction to Architecture course at Yale College, Yale University, a mandatory course for undergraduate students majoring in architecture . This course, given at a school with a liberal arts education program, lists more readings than do any other similar courses given at other schools surveyed for this thesis. In this undergraduate course, the texts are used as background information for the students t o draw upon in order to do their assignments. The texts used for the course range widely, from a first-century treatise to articles published in the eighties. They represent a continuous development of architectural thought throughout the history of architecture. Yet the reading list exclude several major theoretical works of architecture. The examination of the texts shows that they are primarily theoretical,and expose different proper ties and principles of architecture and attitudes towards architects and architecture . Some of the texts contradicts with each other, others are in agreement. Very few of the texts are concerned with the practical knowledge of architecture. Humanistic, populist approaches, as exemplified by several texts written by previous faculty members of the school, seem to dominate the themes of the readings. The list does not attempt to include classical works written by non-architect authors.

Full textAbstract:
This work examines and attempts to overcome issues caused by the lack of formal standardisation when defining text categorisation techniques and detailing how they might be appropriately integrated with each other. Despite text categorisation’s long history the concept of automation is relatively new, coinciding with the evolution of computing technology and subsequent increase in quantity and availability of electronic textual data. Nevertheless insufficient descriptions of the diverse algorithms discovered have lead to an acknowledged ambiguity when trying to accurately replicate methods, which has made reliable comparative evaluations impossible. Existing interpretations of general data mining and text categorisation methodologies are analysed in the first half of the thesis and common elements are extracted to create a distinct set of significant stages. Their possible interactions are logically determined and a unique universal architecture is generated that encapsulates all complexities and highlights the critical components. A variety of text related algorithms are also comprehensively surveyed and grouped according to which stage they belong in order to demonstrate how they can be mapped. The second part reviews several open-source data mining applications, placing an emphasis on their ability to handle the proposed architecture, potential for expansion and text processing capabilities. Finding these inflexible and too elaborate to be readily adapted, designs for a novel framework are introduced that focus on rapid prototyping through lightweight customisations and reusable atomic components. Being a consequence of inadequacies with existing options, a rudimentary implementation is realised along with a selection of text categorisation modules. Finally a series of experiments are conducted that validate the feasibility of the outlined methodology and importance of its composition, whilst also establishing the practicality of the framework for research purposes. The simplicity of experiments and results gathered clearly indicate the potential benefits that can be gained when a formalised approach is utilised.

Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1993.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 96-98).
This thesis addresses the published writing, lectures and interviews of Louis I. Kahn between 1931 and 1974. It attempts to map the elaboration and unfolding of meaning that occur in four of his major concepts: Form and Design, realization, expression and Silence and Light. His textual production is aimed at trying to understand the nature of architecture and its beginnings. This interest leads him into ever widening fields of inquiry into the nature of nature, the nature of man and the nature of beginnings. Most of his concepts can be reduced to a polarity of the measurable and the unmeasurable. His thinking to has two distinct phases: in the first period, 1931 to 1960, he focuses on the tangible concerns of the nature of architecture; in the second phase, from 1960 to 1974, he investigates its more spiritual aspect. The premise of the thesis is that Kahn's writing is cryptic only insofar as one does not understand his particular meanings and definitions for words. The paper traces the continual transformation of specific concepts and their meaning and shows their remarkable consistency. It also demonstrates how Kahn achieves clarity through a strategy of differentiation. Kahn's underlying motivation is to understand the unmeasurable so that he can embody a sense of the eternal in his architecture.

Full textAbstract:
The Recommendation Architecture (RA) model is a new connectionist approach simulating some aspects of the human brain. Application of the RA to a real world problem is a novel research problem and has not been previously addressed in literature. Research conducted with simulated data has shown much promise for the Recommendation Architecture models ability in pattern discovery and pattern recognition. This thesis investigates the application of the RA model for text mining where pattern discovery and recognition play an important role.
The clustering system of the RA model is examined in detail and a formal notation for representing the fundamental components and algorithms is proposed for clarity of understanding. A software simulation of the clustering system of the RA model is built for empirical studies. In the argument that the RA model is applicable for text mining the following aspects of the model are examined. With its pattern recognition ability the clustering system of the RA is adapted for text classification and text organization. As the core of the RA model is concerned with pattern discovery or identification of associative similarities in input, it is also used to discover unsuspected relationships within the content of documents. How the RA model can be applied to the problems of pattern discovery in text and classification of text is addressed demonstrating results from a series of experiments. The difficulties in applying the RA model to real life data are described and several extensions to the RA model for optimal performance are proposed from the insights obtained from experiments. Furthermore, the RA model can be extended to provide user-friendly interpretation of results. This research shows that with the proposed extensions the RA model can be successfully applied to the problem of text mining to a large extent. Some limitations exist when the RA model is applied to very noisy data, which are also demonstrated here.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a pedagogical framework for understanding dynamic Parametricism within the new media culture. As indicated by the title, â Appliance Architecture in the Invisible College: a Pedagogical Textâ , this paper will serve two purposes. First, appliance architecture will construct the theoretical framework that will provide the context for the four case studies presented within this thesis: an interview with Rob Ley, designer of the Reef Project; the design and development of the Eclipsis Screen for the Solar Decathlon house, Lumenhaus; the development of an architectural robotics design laboratory, Prototyping in Architectural Robotics for Technology-enriched Education (PARTeE); and workshop > no.1, a physical computing workshop held at the College of Architecture + Urban Studies (CAUS). Second, the invisible college will serve as a pedagogical framework for teaching dynamic Parametricism within appliance architecture. The invisible college will explore the emergent design typologies developed through the PARTeE laboratoryâ s first year and will culminate in the application of the teaching methodologies used for the physical computing workshop.
The following serves to establish the architectural discourse within which â Appliance Architecture in the Invisible Collegeâ is embedded. In the broadest sense, this discourse is that of kinetic architecture. The word â kineticâ is used to denote motion, or the act or process of changing position of over time, where time is the unit of measurement or relativity. The â applianceâ is defined as any consumer object or assembly with embedded intelligence; it does not shy away from the modern connotation of objects such as a coffee maker, refrigerator or iPod. The appliance as an assembly, therefore, presents a part-to-whole relationship that is understood through GWF Hegelâ s organic unity, which states: â everything that exists stands in correlation, and this correlation is the veritable nature of every existence. The existent thing in this way has no being in its own, but only in something elseâ just as the whole would not be what it is but for the existence of its parts, so the parts would not be what they are but for the existence of the wholeâ (Leddy, 1991). It is this part-to-whole relationship which provides an understanding of the emergent typologies which structure the foundation for learning within the invisible colleMaster of Architecture

Kamal, Hasan. "An ATMS-based architecture for stylistics-aware text generation." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2002. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/23067.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with the effect of surface stylistic constraints (SSC) on syntactic and lexical choice within a unified generation architecture. Despite the fact that these issues have been investigated by researchers in the field, little work has been done with regard to system architectures that allow surface form constraints to influence earlier linguistic or even semantic decisions made throughout the NLG process. By SSC we mean those stylistic requirements that are known beforehand but cannot be tested until after the utterance or (in some lucky cases) a proper linearised part of it has been generated. These include collocational constraints, text size limits, and poetic aspects such as rhyme and metre to name a few. This thesis introduces a new NLG architecture that can be sensitive to surface stylistic requirements. It brings together a well-founded linguistic theory that has been used in many successful NLG systems (Systemic Functional Linguistics, SFL) and an existing AI search mechanism (the Assumption-based Truth Maintenance System, ATMS) which caches important search information and avoids work duplication. To this end, the thesis explores the logical relation between the grammar formalism and the search technique. It designs, based on that logical connection, an algorithm for the automatic translation of systemic grammar networks to ATMS dependency networks. The generator then uses the translated networks to generate natural language texts with a high paraphrasing power as a direct result of its ability to pursue multiple paths simultaneously. The thesis approaches the crucial notion of choice differently to previous systems using SFL. It relaxes the choice process in that choosers are not obliged to deterministically choose a single alternative allowing SSC to influence the final lexical and syntactic decisions. The thesis also develops a situation-action framework for the specification of stylistic requirements independently of the micro-semantic input. The user or application can state what surface requirements they wish to impose and the ATMS-based generator then attempts to satisfy these constraints.

Full textAbstract:
The production testing cost of modern wireless communication systems, especially basestation units, is estimated to be as high as 30-40 percent of their manufacturing cost and is increasing with system complexity, high levels of device integration and scaling of CMOS process technology and operating frequencies. The major production testing challenges for RF transceivers are: (a) the high cost of automated test development because of system-level simulation difficulties and the large simulation times involved, (b) the high cost of using high-end, communication protocol-aware RF test instrumentation, and (c) lack of external test access to RF circuits embedded inside integrated transceivers. Consequently, there exists a need for developing efficient design-for-test methodologies and non-invasive system-level test techniques for wireless transceivers to reduce their test cost. This dissertation is focused towards development of new system-level alternate test methodologies for RF transceiver architectures. The research proposes using non-invasive testing techniques for RF subsystems and digital-compatible built-in testing techniques for baseband and intermediate frequency (IF) analog circuits. The objectives of this research are: (a) to develop automatic test stimulus generation algorithms that allow accurate determination of targeted RF system-level test specification values using behavioral modeling and simulation techniques, (b) to develop RF transceiver test techniques that allow testing of embedded RF systems with limited test access, while reducing the test time for complex RF and baseband system-level performance metrics (b) to significantly reduce the test instrumentation overhead for testing complex frequency-domain and modulation-domain system specifications. The feasibility and the cost benefits of using the proposed alternate test approaches have been demonstrated using 900 MHz and 1575 MHz transceiver prototypes.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of testing is to determine whether an implementation under test conforms to its specification. In distributed test architectures involving multiple testers, this objective can be complicated by the fact that testers may encounter problems relating to controllability and observability during the application of a checking sequence. A controllability problem, also known as a synchronization problem, exists when a tester cannot determine when to send a particular input to the IUT. An observability problem exists when a tester cannot determine whether a particular output has been received from the IUT in response to the related input in the specification. Solutions in the literature to these problems generally require either appending additional input-output sequences or the use of external coordination messages between testers.
This thesis proposes two methods for constructing checking sequences with no potential controllability and observability problems. The first method assumes the presence of a reliable reset in the implementation and constructs digraphs to facilitate the construction of state and transition cover subsequences. A Rural Chinese Postman Path on the final digraph constructed by the method yields a synchronizable ordering of these subsequences. The second method does not require a reliable reset and constructs digraphs to generate subsequences that verify each state and transition. An Euler Tour of the final digraph constructed by the method yields a checking sequence. In both methods, by considering controllability and observability problems during the construction of the checking sequence, the use of coordination messages is either minimized or, if possible, avoided altogether.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, NevadaTo address the concerns of a declining defense budget, duplicate range capabilities, and applications of new technologies, the Deputy Director, Test Facilities and Resources, Test, Systems Engineering and Evaluation Directorate, Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), initiated the Common Test and Training Range Architecture (CTTRA) Workshop project. The development of a common test and training range architecture requires a series of workshops designed to apply the expertise of the test and training ranges and the installed systems test facilities (ISTF) communities to the challenges of architecture development and interface standardization. A common range architecture with standardized interfaces will facilitate asset sharing between the Services, increase the industry-government dual-use potential of OSD's test and training range facilities, and lower the cost of testing. Further, common range interfaces will allow the efficient integration of new instrumentation and simulations at minimum cost. To support development of the CTTRA, there have been three workshops, each expanding the accomplishments of the previous workshop. The first workshop was conducted 20-22 April 1994. The other workshops were held 12-14 October 1994 and 21-24 February 1995. The goals of the workshop process are to: • Develop a common test and training range architecture that supports the requirements of the test, training, and installed systems test facility communities • Identify areas with the potential to yield near-term interface standardization benefits. • Identify potential OSD Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) projects. Thus far, the workshops have developed a top level and second level candidate CTTRA, identified areas for interface standardization, and established standing working groups responsible for continuing development of CTTRA and selected areas for interface standardization.

Full textAbstract:
Cultural identity is an issue that has concerned Portuguese artistic thought in a subliminal way ever since the end of the XIX century, with influences in architecture. Raul Lino, at the beginning of the last Century, was one of those who tried in a conscious manner, to tackle this problem both at the practical and theoretical level. Nevertheless, he never lived to see the real meaning of his proposal fully understood, not even after the retrospective of his work in the 1970 Exhibition in Lisbon. The intention behind this "Letter" is to give continuity to the perspective first formulated by him, starting from the analysis of one of the most significant accomplishments in the history of the Portuguese architecture, the INQUERITO into vernacular architecture. Having guaranteed the importance of cultural identity versus architecture as the driving force of the research, via the testimonies given by a host of relevant personalities in Portuguese cultural life, and evaluated the antecedents and convergences of the identity issue, the research field was defined as well as the methodology. This is based on a qualitative model which rendered the investigation viable, enabling the echoes of the INQUERITO to be appreciated in the architecture of the 1960s. The INQUERITO is therefore the subject of analysis and evaluation, as an instrument of research into the unique Portuguese vernacular architecture. The erudite architecture of its "protagonists" is also evaluated using similar criteria to assess the concerns with identity issue, mostly of a qualitative nature, as a corollary to the sensitivity side of the same issue. Finally, the importance of the identity perspective gave rise to an attempt at projecting the findings onto the teaching of architecture, so as to improve on the necessary humanization of relationships between real places and all their actors.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper we present the architecture of an intelligent test error detection agent that is able to independently supervise the test process. By means of rationally applied bin and cause specific retests it should detect and correct the majority of test errors with minimal additional test effort. To achieve this, the agent utilizes test error models learned from historical example data to rate single wafer runs. The resulting run specific test error hypotheses are sequentially combined with information gained from regular and ordered retests in order to infer and update a global test error hypothesis. Based on this global hypothesis the agent decides if a test error exists, what its most probable cause is and which bins are affected. Consequently, it is able to initiate proper retests to check the inferred hypothesis and if necessary correct the affected test runs. The paper includes a description of the general architecture and discussions about possible test error models, the inference approach to generate the test error hypotheses from the given information and a possible set of rules to act upon the inferred hypothesis.

Increasingly organizations are leveraging service oriented architectures (SOA) as the core infrastructure on which their business applications and processes are organized.
The testing and debugging of applications within a SOA presents special challenges. A defect observed at the level of user interaction with the application could be: (1) a fault (performance, security, scalability, etc.) in the application or process logic; (2) a fault in any of the services used by the application; (3) an unintended interaction in combining services.
The key challenge to be faced is how to ensure that organizations can manage the complexity of their composite applications and service-oriented architecture in a manner that addresses the engineering requirements of testing while providing tools that are efficient, productive, and reasonable for testers to learn.
In our thesis we address these issues by introducing a 'grey box' test agent architecture and a model-driven approach to express 'grey box' test campaigns.

O LBIST tradicional usa um hardware on-chip para gerar todos os padrões de teste com um gerador pseudo aleatório (PRPG) e analisa a assinatura de saída gerada por um registrador de assinatura de múltipla entradas (MISR). Essa abordagem requer a inserção de pontos de teste extras or armazenagem de informação fora do chip que tornará possível alcançar uma cobertura de teste > 98%. Também a geração de todos os estímulos de teste implica no sacrifício no tempo aplicação do teste, o qual pode ser aceitável para pequenos sistemas executarem auto-teste durante a inicialização do sistema mas pode tornasse um aspecto negativo quando testando System-on-chip (SOC) ICs. O fluxo corrente de desenvolvimento de um IC insere scan chains e gera automaticamente padrões de teste de scan para alcançar uma alta cobertura para o teste de manufatura. Técnicas de compressão de dados provaram ser muito úteis para reduzir o custo de teste enquanto reduzem o volume de dados e o tempo de aplicação dos testes. Esse trabalho propõe o reuso de padrões de teste comprimidos usados durante o teste de manufatura para implementar um LBIST com objetivo de testar o circuito quando ele já está em campo. O mecanismo LBIST proposto objetiva descobrir defeitos que podem ocorrer devido ao desgasto do circuito. Uma arquitetura e um fluxo de desenvolvimento semi-automático do mecanísmo LBIST baseado em padrões de teste de scan são propostos e validados usando um SoC real como caso de teste

In 1935, Andre Breton published his speech Qu'est-ce que le Surrealisme? with Rene Magritte's drawing, "Le Viol" (The Rape) on its cover. The image, a view of a woman's head in which her facial features have been replaced by her torso, was meant to shock the viewer out of complacent acceptance of present reality into "surreality," that liberated state of being which would foster revolutionary social change. Because "Le Viol" is such a violently charged image and because of the claims made for it by Magritte for its revolutionary potential, the drawing has been the subject of many arguments, both for and against its effectiveness. The feminist community has had a particular interest in this image (and in Magritte's work as a whole) not only because of the controversial treatment of the female subject in "Le Viol," but also because of the ways in which our culture has been so easily able to strip surrealist images of their political content and subsume them back into mainstream culture for use in those very categories of social practice which Surrealism wanted to eradicate. The reincorporation of surrealist works has been especially noticeable and damaging in the case of images of women, as feminists like Susan Gubar and Mary Ann Caws have pointed out Against those claims made against "Le Viol" as an image which affirms phallocentric language and discourse rather than disrupting them, I argue in this paper that the drawing in fact exposes the mechanisms by which female sexuality is formed and controlled within phallocentric language. In exposing these constructions, "Le Viol" forces the viewer to realize them as ideological positions which maintain women as Other, as unable to gain access to coherent meaning within that language. In performing this function, Magritte's picture undermines that process through which women are deprived of a coherent self-image and of the material power which comes with that image in the social realm. To substantiate my arguments, I trace the relationship between several of Magritte's images and the surrealist texts in which they were published, in order to provide a complex understanding of the interrelationships between word and image to which the artist directed much of his work. My use of the theoretical positions of deconstruction, feminism and psychoanalysis allows me to take the observations made onto the terrain of sexuality. These positions provide an understanding of how language and representation operate with respect to each other, and how the human subject (particularly the female) is formed through language.

What can campus WiFi data tell us about life at MIT? What can thousands of images tell us about the way people see and occupy buildings in real-time? What can we learn about the buildings that millions of people snap pictures of and text about over time? Crowdsourcing has triggered a dramatic shift in the traditional forms of producing content. The increasing number of people contributing to the Internet has created big data that has the potential to 1) enhance the traditional forms of spatial information that the design and engineering fields are typically accustomed to; 2) yield further insights about a place or building from discovering relationships between the datasets. In this research, I explore how the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry can exploit crowdsourced and non-traditional datasets. I describe its possible roles for the following constituents: historian, designer/city administrator, and facilities manager - roles that engage with a building's information in the past, present, and future with different goals. As part of this research, I have developed a complete software pipeline for data mining, analyzing, and visualizing large volumes of crowdsourced unstructured content about MIT and other locations from images, campus WiFi access points, and text in batch/real-time using computer vision, machine learning, and statistical modeling techniques. The software pipeline is used for exploring meaningful statistical patterns from the processed data.

Beyan-ı Menazil (1537) is one of the most distinguished illustrated manuscripts of Ottoman art. It marks the transition from an exclusive textual historiography to one which includes illustrations. It contains 109 folios containing over 130 illustrations connected with Sultan Siileyman's campaign of 1533-1535 against the Safavids. This paper investigates the use of visual conventions in the illustrations. Conventions such as multiple views and connecting element? are used to indicate the itinerary and construct a narrative. Thus the illustrations of Beyan-ı Menazil is a second text. Furthermore, the illustrations themselves use conventions as representation types. These representation types and their variations are, in all probability, a transfiguration of actual field notes. Thus the illustrations of Beyan-ı Menazil are themselves the translation of text into image. The field notes and other elements also exhibit that the use of types is not merely a representational device; it in all probability extended into the actual survey - it was the very mode of observation. The use of representation types and its variations also not only allows specific correspondence with the actual buildings, but raises also the possibility of various observers, and artists involved in the production of the manuscript. Close scrutiny of the use of perspective raises the possibility that there were more than one artist; and probably an atelier involved, in the production of Beyan-ı Menazil. By demonstrating the use of representational types, and the translation of texts (such as field notes) into images, this paper offers a new insight into Beyan-ı Menazil.

L’accessibilité numérique joue un rôle décisif pour l’éducation, l’inclusion sociale et l’autonomie des individus souffrant d’une déficience. Dans ces travaux, nous nous sommes intéressés à une composante universelle des documents numériques : la mise en forme des textes. L’utilisation de couleurs, polices et dispositions de texte peut paraître anodin, mais il se trouve qu’au-delà de l’esthétique du texte, la mise en forme a non seulement du sens, mais elle permet aux lecteurs d’optimiser leur activité de lecture. Par exemple des couleurs et une police particulière peuvent suffire à nous indiquer un titre, qui va permettre au lecteur de se représenter globalement le contenu. Ces travaux visaient donc à rendre accessible la signification de la mise en forme aux déficients visuels, afin qu’ils puissent accéder aux mêmes informations que les lecteurs voyants mais aussi bénéficier des mêmes optimisations quand ils accèdent aux documents à l’aide de voix de synthèseDigital accessibility plays a crucial role for the education, the social inclusion and the autonomy of impaired people. This work focused on a universal component of digital documents: text formatting. Colors, fonts and text disposition are far more than just an ornament; text formatting conveys important meaning for content comprehension, and allows reader to optimize their activity. For instance, a specific set of colors and font can be enough to indicate the presence of a title, which allows a global representation of the content themes. Thus, we aimed at making text formatting meaning accessible to visually impaired people, so they can obtain the same information as sighted readers, and also benefit from the same optimizations when accessing the document with synthetic voices

The Freight Warehouse Architecture Studio is adjacent to Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Although designed as an adaptive reuse, it is a direct result of two things: a reading of Eisenman's Koizumi Project and working in the office for a few weeks immediately proceeding commencement on the studio. The reading was the onset of the theory necessary for the study, and the experience in the office offered the opportunity to establish the direction for the project.
The question of culture, understanding, and reading yields the question of the reconciliation of personal history and community history, how an architect intervenes in a location fraught with tradition. As a result, there is "a condition of a space evolving from within, not an insertion, from without.... So what is interesting about this space is we set up the mechanism of interplay, but we did not know what was going to happen. In other words, I am not saying it is a beautiful design.... In a sense it is mediated because the hand of design is taken away..."Master of Architecture

This dissertation reconstructs one of the major works of military and palatial architecture in the Middle Ages, the Citadel of the Mountain (QaI'at aI-Jabal) in Cairo. It traces its development from its inception in 1176 under Salah aI-Din al-Ayyubi until it reached its definitive and most monumental form under aI-Nasir Muhammad (1293-1341, with two interruptions). The dissertation focuses on the part of the Citadel called today the southern enclosure, which was the residence of the sultan, and of which only the congregational mosque remains standing. It analyzes the different stages of its topographic and architectural development using primarily references collated from the chronicles, biographical compendia, and legal documents of the Mamluk period, and secondarily surface archeology, toponymy, and typological comparisons with extant Bahri Mamluk palaces in Cairo. Through the reconstruction of the Citadel, the study addresses a number of wider methodological and historical issues. It evaluates the influence of the Mamluk socio-political hierarchy on the structure of the palatial complex and on the conceptualization of its spaces and forms. It stresses the importance of construing the architectural vocabulary of the period in its proper historical context. And finally, the dissertation questions the modern perception of the architectural development in a medieval Islamic environment by emphasizing the difference between its secular and religious architecture, and by showing how this perception is disproportionately molded by the latter.

An analysis was performed to investigate how enterprise architecting methods can be applied to an integrate test and evaluation enterprise and make it a more sustainable enterprise to provide continuous value in the face of an evolving DoD landscape. Enterprise sustainability is the ability of an enterprise to maintain economic viability through optimal resource management and preservation over an extended duration. Through the application of the eight lenses of enterprise architecting, it was found that a more holistic understanding of a Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) enterprise's current state could be achieved. This approach also supported identifying gaps that exist between the ability of the current-state MRTFB to deliver value and the value delivery that is required by its key stakeholders. The importance of expanding the information view of enterprise architecting to encompass the entire enterprise infrastructure was also studied. Through the expansion of the information view to an infrastructure view, a more complete depiction of the MRTFB enterprise was achieved. The specific importance of the energy infrastructure to a sustainable enterprise was also explored. Through the application of enterprise architecting, the interrelations between the energy infrastructure and the other views, such as processes, services, and knowledge, and the other supporting infrastructure components, such as facilities, land, physical assets, communication networks, and IT networks, can be established. It was found that the energy infrastructure is a core enabler for our technology-based society, and coupled with the current societal focus on green and sustainable energy provides a focal point for enterprises to leverage and initiate transformation efforts to align the energy infrastructure with larger enterprise strategic objectives.

Full textAbstract:
Built-In Self-Test (BIST) has become one of the most efficient design-for-testability techniques for complex digital circuits, mainly because it simplifies the test generation procedure, shortens the test application time, and eliminates the necessity of expensive external test equipment. However, the addition of circuit-independent test structures have often restricted the usage of BIST for high-performance and large-volume production circuits. Recently, several new testing schemes based on the concept of an Arithmetic BIST have been proposed, where simple arithmetic functions are used to generate test vectors and perform test response compaction. This paradigm provides an efficient BIST solution for a variety of circuits featuring basic arithmetic functionality, as there is virtually no hardware overhead and no performance degradation introduced by the scheme.In this thesis, the Arithmetic BIST scheme has been used as a platform to develop new and efficient test schemes for functional blocks in data-path architectures. Data paths generally have numerous arithmetic and logical blocks with very regular and structured implementations. Therefore, an exhaustive coverage of all states at the input of the sub-blocks, constituting a functional block, reduces significantly the test application time. Pseudo-exhaustive tests, unlike pseudo-random test techniques, deliver complete coverage for a much wider spectrum of combinational faults thereby providing a better defect coverage. Furthermore, the establishment of pseudo-exhaustive test conditions for functional blocks in data paths obviate the necessity for fault simulation, which is otherwise very expensive, specially with the "no fault dropping" option required in the BIST mode.
The application of pseudo-exhaustive test necessitates an analysis of the susceptibility of various functional blocks in data paths to pseudo-exhaustive patterns. Consequently, a detailed structural examination of several commonly used functional modules in a digital signal processing environment is presented. A relationship between the subspace size that has to be exhaustively covered at the input of the functional blocks and their corresponding structural fault coverage is determined. For certain other functional modules, customized arithmetic generators have been designed to ensure 100% fault coverage. Furthermore, several testability enhancing techniques for multipliers in fixed-width data-path architectures have been presented to ameliorate the overall testability of such designs. These schemes are based on residue number arithmetic, and reuse the existing resources in the data path for their implementation.
Finally, a new behavioral synthesis methodology for testable data-path architectures is proposed in the thesis. A pair of test metrics that abstracts the structural testability of data paths at the behavioral-level has been developed. Test pattern generators and output response analyzers are designated at the high-level, thereby allowing the maximum sharing of resources between the functional and test modes of circuit operation. The test metrics along with the assigned generators and compactors are subsequently, used to guide the synthesis of self-testable RT-level data-path implementations. The behavioral synthesis methodology averts adverse test related design decisions thereby avoiding additional hardware otherwise necessary to make a data path testable.

Este trabalho busca lançar um novo olhar sobre momentos relevantes da história dos concursos de arquitetura no Brasil, partindo da premissa de que concursos são eventos que geram interesse por conterem um tipo de informação que reflete cada momento específico da produção arquitetônica. Discute a importância da representação no desenvolvimento do projeto arquitetônico, o papel do material gráfico na propagação de conceitos, assim como a supervalorização do discurso e da imagem e a inversão de valores que tal processo acarreta. Identifica, neste contexto, a existência de uma gramática específica nos projetos desenvolvidos para concursos, na qual a relação entre texto e desenhos assume características peculiares. Coloca a questão de como estes eventos geram uma discussão crítica e de que maneira este material torna-se referência para a formação de conhecimento específico na área. Para tanto, seu conteúdo está organizado em três momentos. O primeiro estabelece um arcabouço conceitual e define uma metodologia para análise dos projetos coletados. O segundo consiste na análise de três eventos fundamentais de nossa historiografia: o concurso para o Plano Piloto de Brasília (1956) um dos acontecimentos essenciais para a arquitetura brasileira e marco na história dos concursos; o do Pavilhão de Osaka (1969) representante de um período de afirmação de um discurso e parte fundamental da trajetória do movimento moderno brasileiro; e o concurso para o Pavilhão de Sevilha (1991) - evento polêmico e de repercussão expressiva, que caracteriza um atribulado período de transição cultural. Após a análise destes eventos de formação, o trabalho altera seu foco e, em seu terceiro momento, traça a trajetória construída desde a realização do concurso para Sevilha até os dias de hoje. Seguindo esta narrativa panorâmica, discute um evento contemporâneo, o concurso para o Museu da Tolerância da USP (2005), para, a partir do arcabouço gerado pelo estudo dos momentos de formação e seu rebatimento neste evento, abordar o contexto atual. Nas conclusões, o trabalho trata da identificação de uma retórica da representação expressa no conjunto de desenhos e textos analisados e discute a mensagem específica que cada desenho carrega e sua influência no desenvolvimento dos projetos. Confronta a democratização de meios com a especialização dos concorrentes e questiona a acessibilidade às técnicas de representação em contraponto à dificuldade de lançar mão dos recursos disponíveis sem cair na gratuidade. Como segundo ponto discute o valor dos textos que acompanham os desenhos, encarados como fios condutores da opção retórica, e identifica as diferentes posturas adotadas pelos autores. A última questão colocada diz respeito ao papel didático dos eventos enquanto momentos de reflexão crítica e discute a permanência das idéias, os elementos de formação de repertório e sua influência no campo da educação. A pesquisa conclui sua argumentação defendendo a leitura deste conjunto de trabalhos a partir do resgate de documentos que podem revelar aspectos fundamentais para o retrato de uma época e a formação de um conjunto de valores.This research pursuits a new understanding on relevant moments of the history of architectural competitions in Brazil, by the premise that these are events that render interest for they provide a kind of information that reflects each specific moment of the architectural production. It discusses the importance of representation in the development of the architectural design, the role of graphic material for the transmission of concepts, as well as the overvaluation of discourse and image and the inversion of values that it causes. In this context, it identifies the existence of a specific language in projects developed for competitions, in which the relation between texts and drawings assume peculiar characteristics. It sets the question of how these events generate a critical discussion and how the produced material becomes reference to the formation of specific knowledge in the subject. For that purpose, its content is organized in three moments. The first one establishes a conceptual basis and defines a methodology for the analysis of the collected projects. The second moment consists of an analysis of three fundamental events of our historiography: the Brasilia Urbanization Plan competition (1956) one of the essential realizations for the Brazilian architecture and the history of competitions; the Osaka Pavilion competition (1969) representant of a period of affirmation of a discourse and important part of the Brazilian Modern Movement development; and the Seville Pavilion competition (1991) a polemic event with an expressive repercussion, which characterizes a turbulent period of cultural transition. Following the analysis of theses events of formation the research changes its focus and, in its third part, traces a panorama of realizations from the Seville competition to nowadays. After that, it discusses a contemporary event, the USP Tolerance Museum competition (2005), in order to, from the basis generated by the study of the formation events and its reflections on the recent one, establish an approach to the current context. In the conclusions the research treats of the identification of a representational rhetoric expressed in the analyzed collection of drawings and texts and it discusses the specific message contained in each drawing and its influence in the development of the projects. It confronts the democratization of means with the contestants\' specialization and questions the accessibility to the representation techniques in counterpoint to the difficulty of exploring the available resources avoiding loosing consistence. As a second point, it discusses the values of the texts that accompany the drawings, faced as main conductors of the rhetorical option, and it identifies different strategies adopted by the authors. The last question is about the didactic role of the events while moments of critical reflection and it discusses the permanence of ideas, the formation of repertoire elements and its influence in the field of education. The research concludes its argumentation defending the understanding of the collection of works based in the rescue of documents that may reveal fundamental aspects to the portrait of an era and the formation of our values.
