Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore how functional and appropriateness arguments influence the adoption of modularity principles during the design of a professional service architecture. Design/methodology/approach Action design research was conducted to examine the design process of a modular service architecture for specialised elderly care by a multi-professional group. Data collection methods included, partly participatory, observations of the interactions between professionals during the design process, interviews and document analysis. Data analysis focussed on the emerging design choices and the arguments underlying them. Findings A wide range of both functional and appropriateness considerations were enlisted during the design process. The three core modularity principles were adapted to varying degrees. In terms of the design outcome, the interdependencies between the modularity principles necessitated two trade-offs in the modular design. A third trade-off occurred between modularity and the need for professional inference where services were characterised by uncertainty. Appropriateness was achieved through the professionals reframing and translating the abstract modularity concept to reconcile the concept’s functionality with their professional norms, values and established practices. Originality/value The study adds to service modularity theory by formulating three trade-offs that are required in translating the core modularity principles into a functional set of design choices for a multi-professional service environment. Moreover, the inherent intertwinedness of the core modularity principles in professional services requires an iterative design process. Finally, the authors saw that the ambiguity present in the service modularity concept can be used to develop a design that is deemed appropriate by professionals.

Purpose Services are highly important in a world economy which has increasingly become service driven. There is a growing need to better understand the possibilities for, and requirements of, designing modular service architectures. The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on the roots of the emerging research stream on service modularity, provide a concise overview of existing work on the subject, and outline an agenda for future research on service modularity and architecture. The articles in the special issue offer four diverse sets of research on service modularity and architecture. Design/methodology/approach The paper is built on a literature review mapping the current body of literature on the topic and developing future research directions in service modularity and architecture. Findings The growing focus on services has triggered needs to investigate the suitability and implementation of physical-product-focused modularity principles and theories in service contexts, and to search for principles/theories that enhance services. The expanding research stream has explored various aspects of service modularity in empirical contexts. Future research should focus on service-specific modularity theories and principles, platform-based and mass-customized service business models, comparative research designs, customer perspectives and service experience, performance in context of modular services, empirical evidence of benefits and challenges, architectural innovation in services, modularization in multi-provider contexts, and modularity in hybrid offerings combining service and tangible product modules. Originality/value Nine areas are recommended for further research on service modularity and architecture. The introductory piece also discusses the roots of service modularity and provides an overview of current contributions.

From its earliest inception, FOLIO was conceived not as an ILS (Integrated Library System), but as a true Services Platform, composed of many independent but interdependent modules, and forming a foundation on which an ILS or other library software could be built out of relevant modules. This vision of modularity is crucial to FOLIO’s appeal to the library community, because it lowers the bar to participation: individual libraries may create modules that meet their needs, or hire developers to do so, or contribute to funding modules that will be of use to a broader community — all without needing “permission” from a central authority. The technical design of FOLIO is deeply influenced by the requirements of modularity, with the establishment of standard specifications and an emphasis on machine-readable API descriptions. While FOLIO’s modular design has proved advantageous, it also introduces difficulties, including cross-module searching and data consistency. Some conventions have been established to address these difficulties, and others are in the process of crystallizing. As the ILS built on FOLIO’s platform grows and matures, and as other application suites are built on it, it remains crucial to resist the shortcuts that monolithic systems can benefit from, and retain the vision of modularity that has so successfully brought FOLIO this far.

AbstractThis study examines the relationship between the product structuring principles chosen in modular product families and the business results of companies. In the three case studies of the article, it can be seen that products that meet the modularity definitions discussed in the literature have been able to utilise the benefits of modularity in a very varied way. In one business case, the effect of modularity on business has been negative. In two other cases, the effect has been positive - in one of these even the profitability of the business has significantly improved. The aim of this article is to identify whether product designing consistently has been following some product structuring principles previously mentioned in modularisation literature or whether case studies bring new principles to consciousness. In all case studies, the product structuring principles used are also discussed in the previous modularisation studies at a varying extent. In the discussion section, we raise the question of whether the recording and use of product structuring principles in design briefs could lead to making the product design decisions that affect the business positively.

This paper addresses the existing methodological gap in assessing service modularity level. The study uses a qualitative approach and develops a technique to quickly and cost-effectively determine service modularity level. The theoretical framework builds on the principles of measurement theory, evaluation theory, and multicriteria analysis (MCA). To test the developed technique, an exploratory case study was conducted focusing on three service companies in Lithuania. Data were collected by interviewing key informants using the proposed instrument. The collected data were analysed and linked to the developed multidimensional scale for measuring the service modularity level. The obtained results support the view that qualitative evaluation can be an alternative for calculating modularity indices in the field of service modularity. The paper provides a practical tool for service modularity assessment for service industry practitioners to accelerate decision-making. The study contributes to the field of service modularity by delivering insights into assessing service modularity level. These insights are particularly important because the literature on measuring modularity level in services has been quite scarce.

Thematic patent search was performed that determined design directions for modular systems in transport and industry. The largest percentage of use is characteristic of: railway, agricultural, power engineering, space industry and shipbuilding. To a lesser extent, the modular design principle is involved in medium heavy and precision engineering. A new concept of application of modules of the main and auxiliary equipment on locomotives is considered, in which key attention is paid to the components of modules and unification of their components. It is necessary to change the philosophy of design and creation of modules, taking into account all possible risks and organizational hazards during modernization of production. The use of modular equipment layout in the engine compartment can significantly reduce operating costs and speed up the service operations during locomotive maintenance. A comparison of operations of current maintenance of Formula 1 cars and modular locomotives has been made.

Full textAbstract:
In the last years, production companies are facing radical changes forcing to improve their standard in product and process design and management. High flexibility, dynamic market demand, increasing customization, high-quality products, flexible batches and short product life cycles are among the key factors affecting the modern industrial and market context and characterizing the emerging Industry 4.0 era.
These trends inevitably affect both the production strategy to adopt and the production system design. From the production strategy viewpoint, industrial companies attempt to meet every customers’ request and satisfy their individual needs. For these reasons, they are switching from Make-to-Stock (MTS) and Make-to-Order (MTO) strategies to Delay Product Differentiation (DPD). DPD is a hybrid strategy that strives to reconcile the dual needs of high-variety and quick response time, by using the concept of product platforms, defined as a set of sub-systems and interfaces that form a common structure from which a stream of derivative product variants can be efficiently produced and developed. A large number of industrial companies introduced product platforms as tool to reach the benefits of DPD, e.g. Sony, for the development of the Walkman, Kodak, Black & Decker and Hewlett-Packard are relevant applications. From the production system viewpoint, traditional manufacturing systems i.e. Dedicated Manufacturing Systems (DMSs), Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) and Cellular Manufacturing Systems (CMSs), show increasing limits in adapting to the most recent market features. Such systems can be effectively used to mass-produce product platforms but advanced manufacturing solutions are needed to produce the remaining components necessary to reconfigure the product platforms into the final variants (Huang et al., 2019). In the last few years, Next Generation Manufacturing Systems (NGMSs), i.e. Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems (RMSs) and Reconfigurable Assembly Systems (RASs), rise to respond to the dynamic market changes. This is achieved by designing both the system and the machines for adjustable structure in response to the dynamic market demand and to the introduction of new products.
Aim of this dissertation is to proposing innovative methods, models and tools aided at including the emerging principles of reconfigurability in designing products and advanced production systems, i.e. manufacturing and assembly, to improve the overall performances of the industrial plants. The achievement of these goals is driven not only by a direct interest of modern industrial companies, but also by the strong commitment of a great number of research councils located in many areas of the world through funding projects. Within the context of European projects, relevant examples are the EU-funded projects ‘Rapid reconfiguration of flexible production systems through capability-based adaptation, auto-configuration and integrated tools for production planning’ promoted in 2015, ‘Skill-based propagation of plug-and produce devices in reconfigurable manufacturing systems’ and ‘Adaptive automation in assembly for blue collar workers satisfaction in evolvable context’ promoted in 2016.
The research activity is developed according to a research framework, which highlights three main research areas: (1) design of modular product platforms, (2) design of reconfigurable manufacturing systems and (3) design of reconfigurable assembly systems. Each chapter of this dissertation is devoted to a specific area of the defined research framework and, after revising the main literature and identifying the research trends, illustrates the research activities as well as the main results and findings. The explored research topics lead to theoretical, methodological and practical contributions of help to support real-world industrial companies in facing modern emerging trends.<br>Negli ultimi anni, le aziende produttive stanno affrontando cambiamenti radicali, come la richiesta di elevati livelli di personalizzazione e flessibilità, i quali hanno, inevitabilmente, un impatto significativo sulla scelta della strategia produttiva da adottare nonché sulla progettazione dei processi produttivi stessi. Per quanto riguarda la strategia produttiva, le realtà industriali stanno superando le strategie produttive comunemente adottate come il Make-to-Stock (MTS) e il Make-to-Order (MTO) a favore di strategie più evolute come il Delay Product Differentiation (DPD). Il DPD è una strategia ibrida volta a riconciliare la duplice necessità di elevata varietà di prodotti e rapido tempo di risposta ai clienti, introducendo il concetto di piattaforma di prodotto, definita come un insieme di sotto-sistemi ed interfacce che formano una struttura comune, da cui un flusso di differenti varianti di prodotto può essere efficientemente ottenuto e sviluppato. Un numero sempre più elevato di realtà produttive sta introducendo le piattaforme di prodotto nel proprio contesto operativo. Tra queste si annoverano Sony, per la fabbricazione del Walkman, Kodak, Black & Decker e Hewlett-Packard. Dal punto di vista dei sistemi produttivi, i sistemi tradizionali mostrano numerosi limiti di adattamento alle nascenti esigenze di mercato. Questi sistemi possono essere efficacemente impiegati per effettuare produzione di massa delle piattaforme di prodotto, ma è necessario fare affidamento a sistemi di produzione avanzati per produrre i componenti rimanenti necessari a riconfigurare la piattaforma trasformandola in una variante finale.
Negli ultimi anni si stanno sviluppando sistemi produttivi di nuova generazione, tra cui i cosiddetti sistemi produttivi riconfigurabili (RMSs) e i sistemi di assemblaggio riconfigurabili (RASs) in grado di far fronte all’attuale dinamismo del mercato. Questa prerogativa viene raggiunta progettando il sistema produttivo e le macchine in esso incluse in modo che abbiano una struttura regolabile e modulare per far fronte efficacemente alla domanda di mercato dinamica e alla rapida introduzione di nuovi prodotti.
Obiettivo di questa tesi è proporre metodi e modelli innovativi a supporto dell’introduzione dei moderni principi di riconfigurabilità nella progettazione di prodotti e di sistemi produttivi avanzati, sia di fabbricazione che di assemblaggio, con l’obiettivo ultimo di migliorare le performance globali degli impianti industriali. Il raggiungimento di questi obiettivi è guidato non solo dall’interesse diretto delle moderne realtà industriali, ma anche dalla presenza di un forte numero di progetti di finanziamento in diverse parti del mondo. Nel contesto dei progetti europei, esempi rilevanti sono i progetti ‘Rapid reconfiguration of flexible production systems through capability-based adaptation, auto-configuration and integrated tools for production planning’ promosso nel 2015 e ‘Skill-based propagation of plug-and produce devices in reconfigurable manufacturing systems’ e ‘Adaptive automation in assembly for blue collar workers satisfaction in evolvable context’ promossi nel 2016.
L’attività di ricerca viene sviluppata seguendo uno schema logico-concettuale che evidenzia tre principali aree di ricerca: progettazione di piattaforme di prodotto modulari, progettazione di sistemi di produzione riconfigurabili e progettazione di sistemi di assemblaggio riconfigurabili. Ad ognuna di queste tre macro-aree è dedicato un capitolo di questa tesi, in cui, dopo aver analizzato lo stato dell’arte e i principali orientamenti della ricerca, vengono illustrate le attività di ricerca specifiche così come i principali risultati ottenuti e gli elementi di innovatività. I risultati ottenuti apportano contributi significativi in ambito scientifico e metodologico e supportano le aziende a livello strategico, tattico e operativo sia nella gestione della strategia produttiva che nella progettazione del sistema produttivo stesso.

Full textAbstract:
Fodor’s The Modularity of Mind (1983) and subsequent work propose a principled distinction between perceptual computations and background knowledge. The chapter argues that language input analyzers produce a minimally—and highly constrained—context-sensitive propositional representation of the sentence, built up from sentence constituents. Compatible with the original Modularity story, it thus takes the output of sentence perception to be a “shallow” representation—though a semantic one. The empirical data discussed bear on alleged cases of sentence indeterminacy and how such cases might be assigned (shallow) semantic representations, interact with context in highly regulated ways, and whether and how they can be enriched. The chapter proposes a semantic level of representation that serves as output of the module and as input to other systems of interpretation, arguing for a form of modularity or encapsulation that is minimally context-sensitive provided that the information from context is itself determined by linguistic principles.

What conception of mental architecture can survive the evidence of neuroplasticity and neural reuse in the human brain? In particular, what sorts of modules are compatible with this evidence? This book shows how developmental and adult neuroplasticity, as well as evidence of pervasive neural reuse, force a revision to the standard conceptions of modularity and spell the end of a hardwired and dedicated language module. It argues from principles of both neural reuse and neural redundancy that language is facilitated by a composite of modules (or module-like entities), few if any of which are likely to be linguistically special, and that neuroplasticity provides evidence that (in key respects and to an appreciable extent) few if any of them ought to be considered developmentally robust, though their development does seem to be constrained by features intrinsic to particular regions of cortex (manifesting as domain-specific predispositions or acquisition biases). In the course of doing so, the book articulates a schematically and neurobiologically precise framework for understanding modules and their supramodular interactions.

Many different kinds of group or individual psychotherapeutic interventions, applied to the special needs of patients with ADHD, already exist (e.g. cognitive–behavioural therapy [CBT], coaching, problem-focused therapy, meta-cognitive training, mindfulness-based interventions, psychoeducation, and dialectical behaviour therapy [DBT]-based cognitive therapy). Most of these treatments are behaviourally orientated, and are predominantly modularly structured. CBT has been investigated most frequently and is regarded as the most effective psychological treatment option. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines recommend CBT as appropriate for adolescents with moderate impairments and for adults, i.e. if drug treatment has proved to be only partially effective or ineffective. Interventions treating adolescents with ADHD are frequently based on CBT principles, behavioural therapy approaches, and cognitive and social skills training techniques addressing the patient, parents, or teachers. Unfortunately, interventions for adolescents have been investigated on a comparatively limited scale.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractModularity - the partitioning of software into units of functionality that interact with each other via interfaces - has been the mainstay of software development for half a century. In case of the C language, the main mechanism for modularity is the compilation unit / header file abstraction. This paper complements programmatic modularity for C with modularity idioms for specification and verification in the context of Verifiable C, an expressive separation logic for CompCert . Technical innovations include (i) abstract predicate declarations – existential packages that combine Parkinson & Bierman’s abstract predicates with their client-visible reasoning principles; (ii) residual predicates, which help enforcing data abstraction in callback-rich code; and (iii) an application to pure (Smalltalk-style) objects that connects code verification to model-level reasoning about features such as subtyping, self, inheritance, and late binding. We introduce our techniques using concrete example modules that have all been verified using the Coq proof assistant and combine to fully linked verified programs using a novel, abstraction-respecting component composition rule for Verifiable C.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Guarded Interaction Trees are a structure and a fully formalized framework for representing higher-order computations with higher-order effects in Coq. We present an extension of Guarded Interaction Trees to support formal reasoning about context-dependent effects. That is, effects whose behaviors depend on the evaluation context, e.g., , and . Using and reasoning about such effects is challenging since certain compositionality principles no longer hold in the presence of such effects. For example, the so-called “bind rule” in modern program logics (which allows one to reason modularly about a term inside a context) is no longer valid. The goal of our extension is to support representation and reasoning about context-dependent effects in the most painless way possible. To that end, our extension is conservative: the reasoning principles (and the Coq implementation) for context-independent effects remain the same. We show that our implementation of context-dependent effects is viable and powerful. We use it to give direct-style denotational semantics for higher-order programming languages with and with delimited continuations. We extend the program logic for Guarded Interaction Trees to account for context-dependent effects, and we use the program logic to prove that the denotational semantics is adequate with respect to the operational semantics. This is achieved by constructing logical relations between syntax and semantics inside the program logic. Additionally, we retain the ability to combine multiple effects in a modular way, which we demonstrate by showing type soundness for safe interoperability of a programming language with delimited continuations and a programming language with higher-order store.

Adapting to continuously changing needs and circumstances is a constant challenge for the designers of today. One possible solution to this is a flexible design, which can be effectively accomplished by a system of modular elements. A properly designed modular system can provide sufficient flexibility when configuring the product or equipment for the first time according to current needs. Furthermore, in case of changes in circumstances, the modular system can be easily reconfigured with another, optimized combination of elements according to the new needs. Modular design principles (DFM – Design for Modularity) is one focused direction of DFX techniques (DFX – Design for X) [1], which means design based on the modular principle. The paper presents modular design principles, methods and tools [2], which can be used to design modular equipment or modular product family. Reason for discussion is a running research project implemented by G-MAX Europe Ltd: development of a giant modular 3D printer (M3DP), project ID: 2021-1.1.4-GYORSÍTÓSÁV [3]. The research process can be divided into three parts. First is the design and construction of a prototype that is a large (5m x 1m x 1m workspace) modular 3D printer. Second part is the design of large-scale 3D printed products that can be manufactured by M3DP special machine. The 3D printing of these products must be feasible, reasonable and economical. The third part is the research and implementation of recycling-technology, since the machine must be able to produce a 3D printed product from 100% recycled raw materials. Professors, experts and specialists of the Technical University of Budapest; Faculty of Mechanical Engineering; Department of Machine and Product Design participated in the design of the research parts of the project. The paper further describes the modular machine family designed by the DfM method, including the modular element library system, the modular graph and the designed modules. Then some products will be presented that can be manufactured by the large M3DP equipment and can be flexibly selected or combined according to current requirements. During the design process, the principles and methods of Design for 3D printing (DF3DP), Design for Environment (DFE) and Design for Recycling (DFR) have been applied. For the development of the products, several small-scale mock-ups were 3D printed and tested used for iterations, to gain final and optimized product designs. In summary, the designers and researchers successfully fulfilled the very complex design and development tasks by a lot of research, simulations and experiments. The paper introduces the theory of DfM, presents the practical application, and certifies the adequacy by concrete examples.

Abstract Evolutionary design systems apply principles inspired from biological evolution to automate machine design. These systems have been shown to generate simple designs for simple tasks — but their practical ability to scale up to higher complexities remains questioned. One of the keys to accomplishing higher-level evolutionary design is the ability of the process to identify and reuse knowledge discovered at lower levels, thus scaling its search capacity. One way to capture this knowledge is in the form of reusable building blocks — modules. In this paper we define modularity and discuss several approaches to promoting modularity in evolutionary design systems. In particular, we propose a new mechanism that can enhance modularization. This mechanism is based on the observation that designs that exhibit modularity have higher adaptability and consequently have better survival rates under changing requirements. Contrary to other techniques, this is a weak (indirect) formulation that docs not require representation of partial solutions or definition of a genotype from which a design is developed. We demonstrate this principle on an abstract general design problem on which modularity can be statistically quantified.

Full textAbstract:
The modularity of the education system is generally geared toward a career-specific path for individual students. While varied subject choices and extracurricular activities can provide students with a rich range of experience, increased specialisation can create a sense of separateness between disciplines which may result in the neglect of engagement between fields which are otherwise mutually informative and insightful. A greater openness to interdisciplinarity would have the benefit of exposing specialists to fresh ways of viewing familiar subjects with a further potential to inform and inspire new and mutually beneficial pathways of education and learning. I illustrate the potential of an interdisciplinary approach in the context of the climate crisis. STEM-related disciplines can draw practical insight from compatible and well-founded philosophical principles e.g. Confucian leadership principles which warn against overconsumption, encouraging the kind of environmental awareness which could avert or mitigate the environmental and societal impact of climate change.

Last years the system of electronic education is more and more popular in Russia. It'sassociated with development of information-telecommunication technology, using of electronic sources economical effectiveness, possibility of sharing information for large auditory, with unlimited distances between source and recipients (students). The distance education system in the Russian Federation has its own characteristics and is based on the fundamental principles. The characteristics may include, such as: flexibility, modularity, coverage, efficiency, adaptability and social equality. The principles on which is based distance learning on naked view are: the principle of adaptability, interactivity principle, the principle of flexibility, modularity principle and the principle of efficiency and objectivity of assessment of educational achievements of students. On the territory of the Russian Federation and outside it quite an efficient system for remote business education (SDB). SDB is a joint project of the National business partnership "Alliance Media", International Institute of management LINK, created in 2000 with the support of the Moscow Government. Currently in sdbo more than 130,000 registered users of 3580 cities, and their number is increasing daily. According to data of Federal service of state statistics of the Russian Federation for the period from 2001 to 2014, it is safe to say that the demand for distance education in Russia over the years only grows. Currently, the Russian system of distance education offers students a wide range of educational programs of different thematic content, timing, training, forms, and learning technologies. In the educational community realized that distance learning good prospects associated with the implementation of learning through life. Therefore, the distribution of training using distance learning technologies will also provide entrance into the international information and communication space.

<p>Modularity plays a key role in the rationalisation of industrially produced consumer goods and the optimisation of their fabrication technologies. With reduced numbers of individual components, rationalisation, automation, and digitalisation of involved processes become more feasible, and reduction of material quantities and process waste can be achieved. The user further benefits from the possibility of replacement and repair of damaged components as well as disassembly and reuse of components at the end of life. To transfer these benefits to loadbearing engineering structures, the authors propose a modular product family for footbridges using precast segmental technology with dry joints and external CFRP post-tensioning. This article describes the applied principles and benefits of modularity, the modular footbridge design and the influence of dry joints and external CFRP post-tensioning on the bridge’s overall structural performance.</p>
