InDoorZ - Wayfinding for Buildings and Campus Settingsmkobar
InDoorZ is a wayfinding app for indoor travel, especially useful for those with low vision or other disabilities. But it is designed to be used by everyone.
Built for the 2015 NYU ABILITY Technology Hackathon

Engineering Process Transformation to Manage (In)consistency in Complex SystemsIstván Dávid
The design of complex engineered systems requires the concerted effort of diverse stakeholders, each responsible for a part or an aspect of the overall problem. Inconsistencies emerge naturally when different parts of a system design are - often concurrently - modified without regard for their dependencies. Such dependencies range from easy to (automatically) detect to requiring costly simulations.In this presentation we make explicit the link between consistency management and design processes. Process models, in our work modeled with the Formalism Transformation Graph and Process Model (FTG+PM) formalism, are augmented with dependency information and cost estimates. These additional (domain-specific) information enable reasoning about and optimizing design processes. The core of such optimizations is embracing the presence of inconsistencies in the engineering process and instead of managing inconsistencies, rather than managing consistencies. The approach is illustrated with examples from a case study on a real industrial system: an automated guided vehicle.
The theme of Galaxy Forum Japan this year is 21st Century Frontiers of Astronomy and Observation. The event will be held at the NAOJ Large Seminar Room and 4D2U Dome Theater. Seating is on a first come first serve basis (limited to 80 participants). Most of the presentations and discussion will be in Japanese. Here is a link to a local website devoted to the event (http://moonstation.jp/ja/events/Galaxy_Forum/).
