Abstract:

I was invited by the MLA committee on the status of graduate students in the profession to speak at a convention workshop entitled “Keywords for a Digital Profession.” My keyword was obsolescence, a catchall term for a multiplicity of conditions; there are material obsolescences, institutional obsolescences, and purely theoretical obsolescences, each type demanding a different response. I spent years pondering theoretical obsolescence while writing The Anxiety of Obsolescence: The American Novel in the Age of Television. The book argues, in part, that claims about the obsolescence of cultural forms often say more about those doing the claiming than they do about the objects of the claims. Neither the novel in particular nor the book more broadly nor print in general is dead, and agonized announcements of the death of such technologies and genres often serve to re-create an elite cadre of cultural producers and consumers, ostensibly operating on the margins of contemporary culture and profiting from their claims of marginality by creating a sense that their own values, once mainstream and now decaying, must be protected. Two oft-cited reports of the National Endowment for the Arts, Reading at Risk (2004) and To Read or Not to Read (2007), come to mind; like numerous other expressions of anxiety about the supposed decline of reading, each rhetorically creates a cultural wildlife preserve in which the apparently obsolete can flourish (United States). These texts suggest that obsolescence is, in this case at least, less a material state than a political project.

Abstract:

Rarely does architecture reach its functional obsolescence. The usual is disenchantment: an obsolescence of enthusiasm that reveals the emotional exhaustion of its inhabitants, of a cultural group, or a whole society. Given the narratives that describe obsolescence as a stage prior to that of re-founding, one might think about it as a state of multiplicity that results from the coexistence of lives projected around the same built object. To revert one of these obsolescences may suppose ending the existence of the other. From this perspective it is possible to devise a non- binary project strategy to pose a more complex and asymmetric coexistence. In the case that we are presenting here, the living years of the Farnsworth House, this possibility emerges from the conception of a soft architecture, subversive and critical, capable of embracing the complexity of its own exhaustion and constant reinvention.

Abstract:

Using data from an obsolescent dialect situation in northern France, this paper questions the view that dedialectalization is a process of level-by-level attrition which leaves a linguistic residue in Regional French (the ‘Structured Obsolescence Hypothesis’). Comparison of dialect index scores for a number of variables reveals significant variation in rates of attrition within levels, with some phonological and morphological variants showing greater vitality than others, but no consistent relationship between levels as the model would predict. An alternative model is proposed, based on the relative learnability of different variants, and it is further argued that rejection of the Structured Obsolescence Hypothesis calls some other assumptions about Regional French into question, notably the view that it can be considered an intermediate variety between dialect and standard, and that it is necessarily ephemeral in nature.

Abstract:

PurposeObsolescence is a decline or loss of utility of an object, building or product. Different types of building obsolescence decrease buildings’ utility and shorten their service life. The purpose of this paper is identification of building obsolescence types and the relevant factors that affect buildings to become obsolete. It is also intended to categorise building obsolescence types to provide a contribution towards increasing building service life and delivering sustainability.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review is applied to conduct this research. It follows five steps: (1) formulating the research question; (2) locating studies; (3) selecting and evaluating relevant studies; (4) analysing the findings; (5) reporting and making use of the results.FindingsVia this study, it is revealed that there are 33 types of building obsolescence. They are clustered in 10 categories regarding their conceptual and causing aspects and are presented based on their recurrence in the literature. According to the findings, economic obsolescence (including economic, financial and market obsolescence types) and functional obsolescence (including functional, use and utility obsolescence types) are the most remarkable categories.Originality/valueInvestigating the literature makes it clear that building obsolescence types have been studied intermittently with infrequent profound exploration of the relationship between them. This paper presents a comprehensive identification of building obsolescence types and introduces obsolescence categories that classify connected obsolescence types. It is a new framework for further studies on building obsolescence to find more effective prevention strategies to mitigate social, economic and environmental consequences of building obsolescence.

Abstract:

Obsolescence is a significant challenge for the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) community. Obsolescence can negatively affect a C5ISR system’s cost, schedule, performance, and readiness. This article examines the challenge of obsolescence for C5ISR systems by focusing on the U.S. Army at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, and their industry partners. Data were gathered by conducting interviews with 20 individuals who had experience with C5ISR systems: 10 government Army civilians and 10 industry partner employees. The objective of this study is to synthesize insights from the experiences of government and industry practitioners that mitigate diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS) challenges. The obsolescence mitigation areas described in this article include proactive and reactive obsolescence mitigation, obsolescence mitigation methods, opportunities for alternative components and planned improvements, the importance of DMSMS contracting language, and obsolescence management practices to avoid. This article also offers approaches grounded in practitioner experiences to mitigate obsolescence through a preliminary proactive obsolescence management model, risk mitigation framework, and metrics. The combination of the obsolescence mitigation approaches discussed in this article has the potential to achieve greater system readiness, more availability, better maintainability, and lower costs for C5ISR systems.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review what is known about obsolescence and its causes, and provide a critique of how it is reflected in valuations. Design/methodology/approach – The method has been to review the literature on obsolescence to examine the main causes and whether there are approaches that can identify the vulnerability of buildings to the business models they are designed to satisfy becoming outmoded. Findings – Obsolescence is an inherent part of the way in which market economies function as new competitors disrupt established business models. Investors need better methods to evaluate the risk that obsolescence poses to their portfolios. Practical implications – Obsolescence can result in significant unpredicted losses of value. Originality/value – Much of the literature on obsolescence treats it in the same way as depreciation without recognising its unpredictable nature. The paper explores alternative approaches to how obsolescence might be measured.

Abstract:

The signal modality of theatrical production during the pandemic crisis of 2020–21 has been Zoom theatre. While Zoom theatre responds to public health concerns regarding virus transmission, it also articulates a vision of performance at the intersection of the public and the private, at the juncture between theatre and electronic media, and as a representation of theatre as a humanizing technology. Theatre has suggestively foregrounded new technologies under the sign of obsolescence, and in the affective register of nostalgia.

Abstract:

The concept of technological obsolescence that affects computer programs is a readily observable phenomenon that has been widely studied over the past half century. The so-called virtual reality learning environments (VRLEs) which are used to support university classes are significantly affected by this technological obsolescence, decreasing their formative effectiveness as the obsolescence process advances. In this study, the technological obsolescence of two VRLEs is analyzed by means of an empirical research based on survey results (N = 135) after using the VRLEs in engineering classes. Several key performance indicators (KPIs) were analyzed during seven academic courses, including motivation, interactivity, ease of use and usefulness. Since both VRLEs were updated during this research work, the influence of these improvements is discussed in detail from a technological obsolescence point of view. Results suggest that the technological obsolescence negatively affects the students’ opinion regarding motivation and interactivity, but the other KPIs (ease of use and usefulness) are hardly affected. In contrast, results indicate that the technological obsolescence can be reversed if periodic updates of educational tools are carried out using modern development software.

Abstract:

Obsolescence is the fact that an entity (physical or logical) is becoming outdated or no longer possesses the required level of performance. The objectives of this article are twofold. First, it is intended to contribute to the understanding of obsolescence propagation. Secondly, two supporting approaches for the Identification and Assessment phases are proposed: the House of Obsolescence and the System Obsolescence Criticality Analysis. The former allows the mapping of obsolescence propagation via dependencies, whether imposed changes are desired or imposed, by external actors to the system architecture. Whereas, the objective of the latter is to assign an obsolescence criticality index to the identified risks in order to prioritize them for solution or mitigation determination during the analysis phase. The tools make extensive use of the modeled system knowledge through the application of Systems Engineering. The application of these approaches is presented through an illustrative study.

Abstract:

Purpose – In previous research publications the authors combined the available knowledge about obsolescence in a conceptual model for further research on and appliance in the decision making about demolition. Since evidence-based theoretical research references on obsolescence are rare, the model inevitably had an explorative character. The purpose of this paper is to test and elaborate the model. Design/methodology/approach – A series of case studies were conducted in various residential building estates. In each estate the types of obsolescence (according to the model) and their interrelationships were identified. Findings – The model can usefully be applied; it enables the determination of types of obsolescence. The case studies also show that several types of obsolescence occur simultaneously, and that these types can be interrelated. This touches upon the complexity of cause-effect mechanisms as already mentioned in the introduction. One of the weaknesses is that information is sometimes available for only one point in time, and that the availability of information varies with the type of obsolescence. Research limitations/implications – The study is based on a limited selection of case studies. Further, the causal relationships between the types of obsolescence could not always be revealed. Practical implications – The current model does not distinguish between causes and effects. For further development of the model, cause-effect processes have to be further analysed. Social implications – Actual measurement of the extent of obsolescence per type is not part of this study, but has to be carried out before social implications can adequately be indicated. Originality/value – The paper presents a conceptual classification of obsolescence that turns out to be workable when tested in practice.

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to conduct an all-inclusive investigation on past studies of obsolescence, the issues involved, and tactics for mitigation in military-based systems. This research investigates four categories: 1. Obsolescence Consequences, 2. Life Cycle Stages and Strategies for Life Cycle Management, 3. Design for Obsolescence and Cost Optimisation, and 4. Management and Tools. A quantitative approach was used to determine the key topics of the 55 articles used in this literature review. A keyword and topic matrix was used to determine the six main areas of concern in current research, and then broken down further into the four categories discussed in this paper. A deep dive into the literature shows that the main areas of concern for obsolescence are cost optimisation, obsolescence management, system life cycle, design/system refresh planning, architecture/open systems, and end-of-life (EOL) predictions. In the EOL predictions category, only one article proposed the idea of machine learning as a forecasting method. This effort suggests a need for a more streamlined management approach to tackling obsolescence. Newer research shows an interest shift from system life cycle management towards forecasting techniques and looking towards future proactive management improvements. This study demonstrates opportunities and challenges for entities dealing with component obsolescence and methods for minimising the issues that go along with it. This paper identifies current practices for obsolescence management, and points to areas for further research development.

Abstract:

The co-authors have proven that the analysis of values of obsolescence indicators applicable to buildings and other facilities in the urban environment allows to make resource-saving decisions in terms of their integrated renovation.At the same time, the need to develop a methodology for evaluating the functional obsolescence of a residential building is also substantiated, as it is the most important component of the concept of comfort of a residential building. A brief analysis of the concepts of “comfort” and “accessibility” in relation to residential buildings is performed. The characteristic of comfort is proposed to be defined using the consolidated indicator of functional obsolescence and physical deterioration of a building. A specific mathematical formula for calculating the parameters of comfort is provided, depending on the consolidated characteristics of indicators of physical deterioration and obsolescence of a building.The proposed analysis of principal obsolescence evaluation methods, applicable to residential buildings, allows toidentify the main weaknesses of currently used methods.As a methodological approach to evaluating the obsolescence of a residential building, a systematic approach is proposed that allows a comprehensive, structural and quantitative assessment of obsolescence indicators through the use of mathematical methods, including the method of expert assessments and a modified verbal-numerical scale, initially developed by Harrington.A systematic hierarchical relationship between general and specific indicators of obsolescence of a building is identified. A systematic approach is employed to develop a procedure for identifying the integral obsolescence of a building with regard taken of the hierarchical relationship between its specific and general indicators.Pie and bar charts are used to analyze alternative building obsolescence evaluation methodologies. A detailed description of the proposed option is provided in the form of specific examples. Acknowledgement.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the model-driven decision support system (DSS) for small and medium manufacturing enterprises (SMMEs) that actively participates in collaborative activities and manages the planned obsolescence in production. In dealing with the complexity of such demand and supply scenario, the optimisation models are also developed to evaluate the performance of operations practices. Design/methodology/approach The model-driven DSS for SMMEs, which uses the optimisation models for managing and coordinating planned obsolescence, is developed to determine the optimal manufacturing plan and minimise operating costs. A case application with the planned obsolescence and production scenario is also provided to demonstrate the approach and practical insights of DSS. Findings Assessing planned obsolescence in production is a challenge for manufacturing managers. A DSS for SMMEs can enable the computerised support in decision making and understand the planned obsolescence scenarios. The causal relationship of different time-varying component obsolescence and availability in production are also examined, which may have an impact on the overall operating costs for producing manufactured products. Research limitations/implications DSS can resolve and handle the complexity of production and planned obsolescence scenarios in manufacturing industry. The optimisation models used in the DSS excludes the variability in component wear-out life and technology cycle. In the future study, the optimisation models in DSS will be extended by taking into the uncertainty of different component wear-out life and technology cycle considerations. Originality/value This paper demonstrates the flexibility of DSS that facilitates the optimisation models for collaborative manufacturing in planned obsolescence and achieves cost effectiveness.

Knowledge and skill obsolescence is a common obstacle in individual, organization, and society development. Thanks to the modern technologies, the rate of obsolescence accelerates rapidly in the information age. In the library workplace, obsolescence occurs constantly. We may be used to routines, but changes are inevitable as we have witnessed the evolution in library services and librarian workplace since the advent of the internet. To cope with obsolescence, it is crucial to have a lifelong learning mindset, make it a habit, and find ways to update our knowledge and skills to stay competent and serve the clientele effectively.

Abstract:

Purpose – Since technological lifecycles do not always match hardware/software (HW/SW) lifecycles, obsolescence becomes a major issue in system lifecycle management as it can cause premature and unscheduled replacement of HW/SW subsystems. The purpose of this paper is to report a dynamic model to predict the obsolescence dates for HW/SW subsystems. Design/methodology/approach – The dynamic model estimates obsolescence dates for HW/SW subsystems based on graph theory concept. The model depicts the stages of subsystem obsolescence through transmittances composed of probability and time-distribution elements. The model predicts probability and mean time to obsolescence for line replaceable units (LRUs) over the lifetime of the system. An illustrative example in signaling systems used in a train control system was used to demonstrate the application of this model. Findings – Generally, the short timespan for HW/SW subsystems, which are periodically replaced with newer technologies, results in the development of new product lines by suppliers while they try to support legacy systems for a reasonable period of time. Obsolescence of HW/SW subsystems increases operation and maintenance costs as legacy systems are typically more expensive to maintain. The costs can be reduced by an optimum time to obsolescence derived from the model. Practical implications – This research adds to the body of knowledge on asset management and maintenance strategy. This paper may be of particular interest to reliability, maintainability and availability practitioners and project managers. Originality/value – The originality of this paper lies in developing a graph-based model that predicts probability and mean time to obsolescence for LRUs over the lifetime of the system.

Abstract:

The goal is to make an analytical study of the state of innovation development and innovation obsolescence in 15 machine-building companies in the Republic of Bulgaria. On this basis, the regularity of innovation obsolescence should be established and whether it has priority over physical wear and tear. An alternative approach for choosing solutions to reduce the harmful impact of rapid innovation obsolescence is proposed.

Abstract:

The article proposes a methodology for assessing the functional obsolescence of intellectual property objects based on the use of statistical indicators of the results of intellectual activity. The use of a cost-based approach in the evaluation of intellectual property objects provides for the calculation of the functional obsolescence of such objects. At the same time, due to the atypical nature of the valuation objects and the absence of a formed market for such objects, there has not been a unified approach to reflecting functional obsolescence in assessing the market value of intellectual property objects. It is necessary that the obsolescence assessment be carried out on the basis of data that meets the requirements of accessibility, verifiability and traceability over time. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for assessing the functional obsolescence of intellectual property objects based on the use of statistical indicators of the results of intellectual activity and designations of merchandise, works, services and business entities. In the course of the study, an analysis of approaches to assessing the functional obsolescence (depreciation) of intellectual property objects and methods of its calculation was carried out. It is revealed that some of the existing methods are overly simplified and do not reflect the actual functional obsolescence, while others are excessively complex and time–consuming for use in the practical activities of appraisers. A methodology for assessing functional obsolescence (depreciation) based on indicators of the growth rate of intellectual activity results and designations of merchandise, works, services and business entities by their types is proposed. The methodology presented in the article can be used by professional appraisers, as well as specialists of financial and economic services of companies in determining the market value of exclusive and other intellectual property rights. The methodology has been tested in assessing the market value of exclusive rights to integrated circuit topologies.

Abstract:

The bureaucratic model becomes more and more self-defeating in present time because it is highly inadequate to meet the challenges of the modem world. Literature on the alternative models of collective work is now available. These are also several highly encouraging practical experiences. Fewer and fewer people still trust that any substitute for bureaucracy is just unrealistic
