O projeto de edificações é uma atividade multidisciplinar que envolve a interação de disciplinas como arquitetura, engenharia estrutural e engenharia elétrica, dentre outras. O surgimento de conflitos entre interesses dessas disciplinas é inevitável conforme os projetos crescem em volume de dados ou na complexidade da informação. Entretanto, esses conflitos precisam ser resolvidos para que a equipe obtenha uma boa solução de projeto. Sistemas de verificação automática de regras podem contribuir para a resolução desses conflitos, realizando detecção automática de erros referentes às diferentes disciplinas. No presente trabalho é apresentado um modelo de sistemas multiagentes (SMA) capaz de realizar essa detecção em modelos conceituais de edifícios representados com softwares CAD 3D tradicionais, contrastando com processos atuais que impõem grandes modificações nos processos de representação convencionalmente adotados pela indústria. O modelo foi desenvolvido baseando-se na ontologia Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO) e em um conjunto de perguntas básicas definidas na fase de fundamentação teórica. Após esta etapa, utilizou-se um projeto de edifício da Universidade Federal de Viçosa para compor o estudo de caso para aplicação do modelo desenvolvido. Optou-se por testar as regras de acessibilidade a cadeirantes adaptadas do documento Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities. Para analisar por completo o edifício, o SMA desenvolvido gastou aproximadamente um segundo, sem a necessidade de intervenção humana. Este SMA gerou um resultado gráfico, identificando os locais internos do edifício que não permitem o deslocamento de cadeirantes. Em suma, conclui-se que a abordagem de SMA adotada nesta pesquisa pode ser utilizada, com os mesmos recursos aqui apresentados, como referencial para novas ferramentas de auxílio na fase conceitual de projetos de edifícios, visando a auxiliar a tomada de decisão dos projetistas desde as primeiras fases da elaboração de um projeto de edifícios.

Building design is a multidisciplinary activity that involves the interaction of disciplines such as architecture, structural engineering and electrical engineering, among others. The emergence of conflicts involving distinct disciplinary interests is inevitable as the project grows in data volume or complexity. However, these conflicts must be resolved in order for the team to get a good design solution. The usage of automated rule-checking systems for automatic verification of design rules can contribute to the resolution of such conflicts, performing automatic detection of errors related to different disciplines. In this paper we present a model of multi-agent systems (MAS) capable of performing detection in conceptual building models represented with traditional 3D CAD software, in contrast to current processes that require major changes in the processes of representation conventionally adopted by the industry. The model was developed based on the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO) and seven basic questions defined in the…

▼ John Portman’s work is perplexing and polarizing. Characterized by his atria that captivate the popular imagination and his hybrid practice as architect-developer that redefined skylines throughout the world, but also ambivalently caricatured and dismissed for these same moves, the question of his impact remains blurry. This tension in Portman’s assessment has been described as paradoxical and in fact, a closer look at the scholarship on his work reinforces this as an ongoing condition – one that highlights the challenges of interpreting the work. Yet, Portman’s own imaginative account of his practice emphasizes another perspective. In reflections throughout his life, he referenced his 1964 house, Entelechy I, as the generator informing his entire corpus and the key design to understanding his architectural principles across all scales and programs. The research here takes on the productive myth of Entelechy I – and its presumed adaptable and repetitive logic – as the impetus to develop a shape grammar on the plan of the house. This grammar is then the basis for generating variations that address the transformation of spatial relationships in the house revisited for other design contexts. Significantly, this two-stage procedure is mechanically (and automatically) implemented in Shape Machine for Rhino, a new shape grammar interpreter developed at the Shape Computation Lab (SCL) in the School of Architecture, Georgia Institute of Technology. Subsequently, the implementation of the Entelechy grammar reproduces the design of the original house and a series of new designs too – here proposed as Portm-Inoes to systematically recontextualize the house as a postmodern reinvention of Corbusier’s Dom-Ino. In addition, the corresponding adaptation of parts of the grammar under different predicates yields transformation grammars that generate a series of plans at various scales to interpret Portman’s broader corpus of interior, hospitality, urban, and residential designs. The contributions of the dissertation are: a) a critical compilation of perspectives on John Portman encompassing various interpretations that have remained so far distinct including connections to the Aristotelian and Emersonian philosophical underpinnings of the work; b) a formal approach to interpret Entelechy I in an automated shape grammar; c) a series of implemented transformation grammars that further redescribe Portman’s architectural language in interior, hospitality, urban, and residential designs; d) an assessment of Portman’s work derived by correlating the predicates, transformations, and shape rules in the grammars with fundamental aspects of design including the use of Platonic geometries, self-similarity, figure-ground reversal, boundary ornamentation, offset forms, and their combinations; and e) the setup of a constructive cycle of design propositions and evaluations achieved in Shape Machine to mechanically execute line drawings in an automated environment.

▼ As portable electronic devices have become widely used, both the demand for internet access and network traffic have increased hugely. The Optical Fiber Transceiver Device is important for communication through optical fiber networks. The temperature of the device affects its lifetime, the quality of communication and the coupling efficiency of the optical fiber. Since some of the components of the Optical Fiber Transceiver Device can be made of various materials, this work constructs a threeâdimensional Optical Fiber Transceiver Device model using the ANSYS 15.0/Fluent software for implementing the finite volume method, and to investigate the effects of the thermal conductivity coefficient of the materials on heat dissipation by the device. Among five components which have alternative materials â substrate, housing, coating, SMT substrate and solder ball ââ the results revealed the dissipation of heat by the device was dominated by the variations of substrate and SMT substrateâs thermal conductivity coefficient. These critical variables were fitted using equations in terms of the maximum temperature of device and the difference between the inlet and outlet temperatures of the laser coupling. The effect of the laser power on the fitting model was considered. Then, the design rule corresponding to the critical componentsâ thermal conductivity coefficient of the Optical Fiber Transceiver Device was obtained successfully. The errors between the simulated and the fitted results which were concluding the maximum temperature of device and the difference between the inlet and outlet temperatures of the laser coupling were less than 9%. At a heat dissipation by the laser of 210mW, when the thermal conductivity coefficients of the substrate and the SMT substrateâs material were 2W/mâ and 60W/mâ, the maximum temperature of the device and the difference between the inlet and outlet temperatures were less than 85â and 12â, respectively.

▼ Ever since the Internet opened the floodgates to millions of users, each looking after theirown interests, modern algorithm design has needed to be increasingly robust to strategicmanipulation. Often, it is the inputs to these algorithms which are provided by strategicagents, who may lie for their own benefit, necessitating the design of algorithms whichincentivize the truthful revelation of private information - but how can this be done? This is afundamental question with answers from many disciplines, from mechanism design to scoringrules and prediction markets. Each domain has its own model with its own assumptions, yetall seek schemes to gather private information from selfish agents, by leveraging incentives.Together, we refer to such models as elicitation.This dissertation unifies and advances the theory of incentivized information elicitation.Using tools from convex analysis, we introduce a new model of elicitation with a matchingcharacterization theorem which together encompass mechanism design, scoring rules, prediction markets, and other models. This lays a firm foundation on which the rest of thedissertation is built.It is natural to consider a setting where agents report some alternate representation oftheir private information, called a property, rather than reporting it directly. We extendour model and characterization to this setting, revealing even deeper ties to convex analysisand convex duality, and we use these connections to prove new results for linear, smoothnonlinear, and finite-valued properties. Exploring the linear case further, we show a newfour-fold equivalence between scoring rules, prediction markets, Bregman divergences, andgeneralized exponential families.Applied to mechanism design, our framework offers a new perspective. By focusing onthe (convex) consumer surplus function, we simplify a number of existing results, from theclassic revenue equivalence theorem, to more recent characterizations of mechanism implementability.Finally, we follow a line of research on the interpretation of prediction markets, relatinga new stochastic framework to the classic Walrasian equilibrium and to stochastic mirrordescent, thereby strengthening ties between prediction markets and machine learning.

▼ ENGLISH SUMMARY: Process design uncertainties can significantly influence the safety and reliability of separation processes. It is broadly accepted that the process engineer must not only specify the best available thermodynamic model to obtain reasonable results, but also quantify the effects of uncertainties in thermodynamic models and data on the final process design. Phase equilibrium correlations are reported as the most significant source of property uncertainties. Thus, how can one best account for the thermodynamic model parametric input uncertainty and the propagation of said uncertainty through the process simulation model? In this work, the effect of phase equilibrium uncertainties on the process design of the dehydration of C2 and C3 alcohols using extractive and azeotropic distillation was investigated. The extractive distillation of diisopropyl ether (DIPE) and isopropanol (IPA) with 2methoxyethanol as the solvent, as well as the heterogeneous azeotropic distillation of ethanol and water using DIPE as entrainer, were considered. Firstly, a systematic evaluation of thermodynamic models was performed. The objective was to identify the model that offered the closest prediction of experimental data of the underlying system (What is the best model?). The performance of the NRTL activity coefficient model in predicting the phase equilibria of the DIPE / IPA / 2-methoxyethanol extractive distillation system was of a high degree of accuracy. The prediction of the azeotrope temperature and composition were improved, although marginally, with the Hayden O’Connell and Nothnagel equations of state. However, this benefit was not extended to the binary vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) correlation ability of the model, thus the NRTL model was used. For the DIPE / ethanol / water azeotropic distillation system, the evaluation process revealed that the NRTL activity coefficient model offered largely excellent results, with a high degree of accuracy apparent in the azeotrope and phase envelope predictions. The inclusion of liquidliquid equilibrium (LLE) data provided a meaningful improvement of the model's ability to predict experimentally measured equilibrium data, confirming the usefulness of the NRTL model for this system. Secondly, a combined computer-based approach of stochastic models and process simulation was used to assess the effect of phase equilibrium uncertainties on the sizing of key process equipment. The Monte Carlo simulation technique generated a set of random input variables that represent the range of parametric uncertainty. For each system a process model was developed and the simulation solved for each unique set of input parameters with Aspen Plus® v8.8. The results were subsequently combined to develop cumulative distribution functions (CDF) for each design output of interest e.g. reboiler duty, heat exchanger surface area or column diameter and thus used to estimate the confidence level of the design. For the DIPE / IPA / 2-methoxyethanol system, it was observed that the extraction… Advisors/Committee Members: Schwarz, C. E., Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Engineering.

▼ This PhD by project is an examination of process-based architectural design. It offers an examination of one approach to undertaking process-based experimentation in architecture - based on reflection of my own practice and body of work - through which I have been able to consider a complex array of questions and issues that are associated with working in this way. By "process-based" design, I refer to the approach whereby a process - consisting of a series of actions or operations - is choreographed in order to initiate and develop architectural designs (sometimes known as step-by-step, rule-based or generative design processes). The methodology of the PhD involved undertaking and reflecting on a series of design projects, research led design studios, an examination of the Australian context engaged with by the projects as well as a substantial examination of the last thirty years of process-based practice in the international context. By completing research into the field I argue that contemporary process-based work is built on an inherited foundation of ideas that are often considered to be naturally linked to this way of working and that despite an evolving of these methods in contemporary practice, these fundamental assumptions continue to be maintained; are rarely specifically acknowledged and can be seen to constrain this type of practice. The persistent, underlying assumptions about working in this way are not an inherent property of this type of practice. I demonstrate that they are simply properties which have grown to be normative values in contemporary work compromising the introduction of other possible approaches. I identify the recurring tropes and traits in relation to this practice and outline the compositional and formal prejudices present in process-based work that often originate from an unacknowledged set of architectural concerns. I argue that the reasons one might use these processes might be different - away from these traditions and through my design projects demonstrate an expanded series of concerns for process-based design work. The differences in my design approach have occurred as a result of both incorporating my critique of the field into my own practice as well as developing a series of parallel investigations that inform this practice. These parallel investigations are undertaken as projects that consider; forming propositions for the contemporary Institution and public project in Australia; the use of 'vision devices and systems' in the design process as well as the operative potential of architectural ornament. The PhD includes a section on my research led design studio pedagogy which considers questions of judgement in relation to process-based practice and provides a reconsideration of rigour in relation to these design practices. The viewpoint offered in this PhD has implications for how the discipline has traditionally understood process-based architectural design and the ability to expand future manifestations of this and associated design…

O dimensionamento de fundações apoiadas sobre solos reforçados por colunas representa um desafio devido à natureza composta do mesmo e à grande quantidade de inclusões envolvidas no processo de reforço. Do ponto de vista do cálculo da capacidade de carga, as metodologias de dimensionamento propostas na literatura tratam ou de cálculos empíricos, ou de cálculos analíticos para carregamentos puramente verticais, ou utilizam o método de elementos finitos através de análises elasto-plásticas incrementais. No presente trabalho estuda-se, através da análise limite, a capacidade de carga de fundações superficiais apoiadas sobre solos argilosos reforçados por colunas submetidas a cargas inclinadas. Assim, este trabalho constitui uma primeira referência em analisar o efeito do reforço no diagrama de interação que relaciona às componentes da carga. Inicialmente, realizou-se uma análise em estado plano de deformação para um solo reforçado por uma coluna isolada. Foram construídos campos de tensões lineares por trecho, estaticamente admissíveis e que satisfazem o critério de resistência, determinando limites inferiores da capacidade de carga. Trata-se da abordagem estática da análise limite. Na sequência, através da utilização de mecanismos de ruptura cinematicamente admissíveis, foram encontrados limites superiores da capacidade de carga. Trata-se da abordagem cinemática da análise limite. A construção de ábacos permitiu realizar um estudo paramétrico da melhora da capacidade de carga em função dos parâmetros adimensionais, definidos pela geometria e propriedades de resistência. Finalmente, realizou-se uma generalização à situação de um solo reforçado por um grupo de colunas, em estado plano de deformação, mediante a aplicação da abordagem estática e cinemática da análise limite e posterior estudo paramétrico. Os resultados mostraram que, a medida que aumenta a componente horizontal da força, a componente vertical de ruptura diminui. Este fato constitui um risco na edificação de estruturas submetidas a carregamentos inclinados. Os parâmetros adimensionais que controlam a capacidade de carga são: o ângulo de atrito interno do material de reforço e a relação entre o intercepto coesivo do reforço e do solo. Foi encontrado que, para fins práticos, a carga limite é independente da quantidade de colunas, sempre que o volume de reforço seja mantido.

From a practical engineering viewpoint, design of column-reinforced foundations turns to be a challenging task owing to the strong heterogeneity of the geo-composite resulting from the association of native soft soil and the reinforcing soil columns. The design procedures conceived to estimate bearing capacity improvement from this reinforcement technique have mainly dealt with foundations under vertical loading. The purpose of the present work is to investigate the ultimate bearing capacity problem of column-reinforced foundations under inclined loading, within the framework of limit analysis theory. Special emphasis is given to the effect of reinforcement on the interaction diagram…

▼ Digital tools have become critical instruments in preserving and communicating the value of heritage as important cultural expressions of the past. A consequence of digitalisation is the democratisation of heritage institutions, such as museums, which are found to value increasingly new types of content and new profiles of audiences. Digitisation plays a vital role in the alteration of the convictions of the heritage field to ‘materiality’ and ‘actuality.’ Although researchers acknowledge the significance of digital heritage in leading us into new ways of expressing ‘authenticity’ and ‘virtuality,’ studies have been confined to heritage activities comprised of digital documentation, representation and dissemination. Previous studies have reported on the role of public engagement in digital heritage which is criticised as consumptive, passive, guided and descriptive. Instead, the motivation of this research is to explore a new role that is ‘generative,’ ‘active’ and ‘creative’ for the production of heritage knowledge. This dissertation demonstrates an innovative digital design approach to creative and participatory content-making in digital heritage. The research investigated the use of creative content generated collaboratively for knowledge production and acquisition in architectural heritage and tested in Kashgar, the westernmost city in China. The research conceives an interdisciplinary methodology, integrating design with the standard activities involved in digital heritage. This dissertation is undertaken using different digital media equipment for collaboratively expressing authenticity and virtuality of heritage information. The research examines the role of creative engagement for constructing digital heritage. Creative engagement in a hybrid immersive virtual reality environment is experimented with and findings are analysed qualitatively. Then, to measure the outcome of creative engagement quantitatively, a well-known technique in data mining is used to expose undisclosed patterns. It is the first time in digital heritage that a study employs association rule mining to interpret user-generated content. The qualitative findings of two initial experiments are synthesised with quantitative results of the third experiment to investigate how the creative contribution of people in content-making is generalizable. The investigations foster the advancement of research and practice in digital heritage beyond the frontiers of current knowledge. There is a number of fields that can apply the results of this research, including cultural heritage, computer-aided architectural design, museology, new media, TV, education, MOOC, streaming, as well as culture and game studies.

▼ Organic photovoltaics (OPV) offers a potential for solar-electric power generation to be affordable. Crucial to OPV device performance is the incorporation of interlayers, ultra-thin films deposited between the photoactive material and the electrical contacts. These interlayers have various, targeted functionalities: optical window, encapsulation, or electronic bridge. The last category is known as "transport layers", and is the focus of this thesis. In this thesis, we explore and investigate the physics that leads to improvements in OPV device performance when a transport layer is employed. We focus on the use of non-stoichiometric nickel oxide (NiO_x) as a hole transport layer (HTL) in poly(3-hexylthiophene):phenyl-C₆₁-butryric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) solar cells. NiO_x deposited by physical vapor deposition is chosen for this study because of its successful use as HTL, the ease to engineer its electronic properties by varying deposition parameters, and it leading to improved device lifetime. Our initial studies indicate that the well-known \high work-function" rule is not adequate to explain the trends observed in the devices. The series of investigations discussed in this thesis reveal that band-offsets at the NiO_x / P3HT:PCBM interface need to be taken into account in order to explain the observed trends. Non-optimal band-offsets lead to either sigmoidal current-voltage characteristics or reduced photocurrent. The optimal energy level alignment depends on the energy levels of the photo-active material, which are measurable. This means that an HTL material must be optimized for different photoactive material. A simple and practical set of rules are proposed to achieve this optimal energy level alignment for a given photoactive material. The rules not only include the pervasively-used \high work-function" rule, but also the impacts of band-offsets investigated in this work. Advisors/Committee Members: Joseph J. Berry, Charles Rogers, David S. Ginley, Garry Rumbles, Ivan Smalyukh.

▼ One of the core problems in multiagent systems is how to efficiently allocate a set of indivisible resources to a group of self-interested agents that compete over scarce and limited alternatives. In these settings, mechanism design approaches such as matching mechanisms and auctions are often applied to guarantee fairness and efficiency while preventing agents from manipulating the outcomes. In many multiagent resource allocation problems, the use of monetary transfers or explicit markets are forbidden because of ethical or legal issues. One-sided matching mechanisms exploit various randomization and algorithmic techniques to satisfy certain desirable properties, while incentivizing self-interested agents to report their private preferences truthfully. In the first part of this thesis, we focus on deterministic and randomized matching mechanisms in one-shot settings. We investigate the class of deterministic matching mechanisms when there is a quota to be fulfilled. Building on past results in artificial intelligence and economics, we show that when preferences are lexicographic, serial dictatorship mechanisms (and their sequential dictatorship counterparts) characterize the set of all possible matching mechanisms with desirable economic properties, enabling social planners to remedy the inherent unfairness in deterministic allocation mechanisms by assigning quotas according to some fairness criteria (such as seniority or priority). Extending the quota mechanisms to randomized settings, we show that this class of mechanisms are envyfree, strategyproof, and ex post efficient for any number of agents and objects and any quota system, proving that the well-studied Random Serial Dictatorship (RSD) is also envyfree in this domain. The next contribution of this thesis is providing a systemic empirical study of the two widely adopted randomized mechanisms, namely Random Serial Dictatorship (RSD) and the Probabilistic Serial Rule (PS). We investigate various properties of these two mechanisms such as efficiency, strategyproofness, and envyfreeness under various preference assumptions (e.g. general ordinal preferences, lexicographic preferences, and risk attitudes). The empirical findings in this thesis complement the theoretical guarantees of matching mechanisms, shedding light on practical implications of deploying each of the given mechanisms. In the second part of this thesis, we address the issues of designing truthful matching mechanisms in dynamic settings. Many multiagent domains require reasoning over time and are inherently dynamic rather than static. We initiate the study of matching problems where agents' private preferences evolve stochastically over time, and decisions have to be made in each period. To adequately evaluate the quality of outcomes in dynamic settings, we propose a generic stochastic decision process and show that, in contrast to static settings, traditional mechanisms are easily manipulable. We introduce a number of properties that we argue are important for matching mechanisms in…

▼ As a thesis project, A Visual Understanding can be defined as a contextual experiment portraying the relationship between traditional composition techniques and visual communication online. This project focuses on the issue of significance when viewing photography online and the ways in which Computer Graphics Design can solve this problem. The educational application address the problems with the way in which photography is being portrayed by first, creating awareness about this concern and second, educating the online user in attempt to solve this problem. The interactive application developed educates users on traditional composition theories that have proven to be successful means of communication. This project displays information in an online application, and develops a way to engage web users. The goal of this application is to provide amateur photographers with an understanding of visual communication and the ways in which the relationship between composition techniques and design theory can significantly impact photography. This project goes on to explore different means of information design and contextual, three-dimensional interactive applications, and researches the ways in which the use of computer graphics design to create a hands-on learning experience will increase awareness and educate amateur photographers. By providing an educational understanding of photographic design theories, discussing lines, shapes, angles, and frames in an interactive atmosphere, web users learn photography techniques in a hands-on manner instead of simply reading about rules or techniques. The intention of this project is to visually, interactively, and contextually represent the potential for photographs to provide entertainment, embody visual art and culture, and provide compositional representation of meaning and message to their audiences. Through the demonstration of the effectiveness of these theories as well as the importance of visual communication, amateur photographers will learn how to create visual meaning in photographs and learn why they should be aiming to communicate messages through photography as a traditional art.

▼ My dissertation focuses on the theory of mechanism design in voting environments, i.e., the design of voting rules that aggregate individual preferences into a group decision. The vast majority of the social choice literature on this topic uses purely ordinal models: agents can rank the candidates but the intensity of preferences is discarded. Furthermore, this literature restricts attention to dominant strategy rules-rules in which truth-telling is best for each agent regardless of votes of other agents. My approach to the problem differs from the past literature in that, in my model, agents assign cardinal valuations to the alternatives, expressing their relative desirability. Instead of requiring dominant strategy, I consider the weaker concept of Incentive Compatibility (IC). IC only requires agents to be truth-telling if other agents do the same. My model is, therefore, close to the classic mechanism design problem, but with the crucial difference that monetary transfers cannot be used to remedy incentive problems.In Chapter 1, Pareto efficiency and weighted majority rules (joint with Yaron Azrieli), we study environments with two alternatives and independent private values, the simplest non-trivial environments. First, we show that the utilitarian rule subject to IC cannot utilize information about preference intensity, and that it is a weighted majority rule where the weights assigned to agents are environment-specific. Second, we characterize the set of Pareto efficient rules subject to IC and show that it is equal to the set of all weighted majority rules. We also study the stability of voting rules when a new rule is offered as an alternative to the incumbent.In Chapter 2, Ordinal versus Cardinal Voting Rules: A Mechanism Design Approach, I consider neutral environments with at least three alternatives. Neutrality means that there is symmetry between the alternatives in the ex-ante stage, before preferences are realized. First, I show that within the class of ordinal rules (rules that do not use information about preference intensity) any Pareto efficient rule is incentive compatible. This result is quite interesting because unlike many of the classic results of mechanism design, it does not have tension between efficiency and incentive compatibility. Second, I construct a cardinal voting rule subject to IC, which achieves higher utilitarian social welfare than any ordinal rule. Thus, as opposed to environments with two alternatives, it is possible to increase social welfare by taking into account the intensity of preferences as reported by the agents when there are at least three alternatives. When there are exactly three alternatives my rule is closely related to (A,B) scoring rules in Myerson (2002), where each voter must choose a score vector that is a permutation of either (1,A,0) or (1,B,0). This is a simple rule that can practically be used in real-life institutions. Advisors/Committee Members: Azrieli, Yaron (Advisor).

▼ This dissertation contributes novel theoretical results that enable the use of efficient optimization algorithms for the design of energy and manufacturing systems with high operational flexibility. Operational flexibility is a central theme of the smart grid and smart manufacturing paradigms because it enables systems to optimally adapt to highly dynamic and uncertain operating environments. Such environments are increasingly prevalent in the energy and manufacturing industries due to factors such as the increasing use of variable renewable energy resources (e.g., wind and solar) and the potential benefits of responding quickly to variations in product demands, real-time electricity markets, etc. For systems such as microgrids, combined heat and power plants, multiproduct chemical plants, and biorefineries, such flexibility has the potential to provide huge economic and environmental benefits. However, it also requires systems to make substantial changes in their operating conditions over very short-time scales, including discrete changes in their operating modes of process equipment (e.g., on/off) or the portfolio of products being produced. Designing systems with such operational flexibility requires consideration of the short-term operational details (e.g., minutes to hours) and future uncertainties that will affect system's performance over its entire lifetime (e.g., decades). This gives rise to a complex optimization problem called integrated design and operation under uncertainty. This problem is complex mainly because the long-term design decisions of interest are tightly coupled with a very large number of short-term operational decisions that must be made over many operational periods and under significant uncertainty. Moreover, these operational decision are mixed-integer decisions, which are particularly challenging for optimization, because they are used to model both discrete and continuous changes in operations. Unfortunately, such problems cannot be solved both accurately and efficiently by standard mathematical programming approaches without major simplifications. At the same time, simplifications that are computationally tractable significantly reduce the level of operational detail that can be captured by the optimization model, which often result in system designs that are sub-optimal or even infeasible for real operations. An alternative approach, which we refer to as the simulation-based optimization (SO) approach, is to evaluate candidate system designs using a stochastic simulation of the system’s operations over all operational periods and in multiple uncertain scenarios. The design problem is then solved by optimizing the output of this simulation with respect to the design decisions. This approach is scalable to models with much more operational detail in terms of the number of operational periods and the number of uncertain scenarios considered, both of which are essential for representing operational flexibility. However, this approach results in highly complex… Advisors/Committee Members: Joseph K Scott, Rachel Getman, Sandra D Eksioglu, Burak Eksioglu, Sapna Sarupria.

▼ This study aims to design and implement a domain-specific computer programming language: the Building Environment Rule and Analysis (BERA) Language. As a result of the growing area of Building Information Modeling (BIM), there has been a need to develop highly customized domain-specific programming languages for handling issues in building models in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. The BERA Language attempts to deal with building information models in an intuitive way in order to define and analyze rules in design stages. The application of the BERA Language aims to provide efficiency in defining, analyzing and checking rules. Specific example applications implemented in this dissertation are on the evaluation of two key aspects: building circulation and spatial programming. The objective of this study is to accomplish an effectiveness and ease of use without precise knowledge of general-purpose languages that are conventionally used in BIM software development. To achieve the goal, this study proposes an abstraction of the universe of discourse - it is the BERA Object Model (BOM). It is a human-centered abstraction of complex state of building models rather than the computation-oriented abstraction. By using BOM, users can enjoy the ease of use and portability of BIM data, rather than complex and platform-dependent data structures. This study also has reviewed and demonstrated its potential for extensibility of BOM. Not only its lateral extensions such as structural building elements, but also the vertical extensions such as additional properties for existing BOM objects are good examples. In current BERA Language Tool, many computed and derived properties/relations have been proposed and implemented, as well as some basic data directly from the given building model. Target users of the BERA Language are domain experts such as architects, designers, reviewers, owners, managers, students, etc., rather than BIM software developers. It means that the people who are interested in the building environment rule and analysis are the potential users. The BERA Language Tool comprises many libraries to alleviate common but unnecessary problems and limitations that are encountered when users attempt to analyze and evaluate building models using commercially available tools. Combined with other libraries which populate rich and domain-specific datasets for certain purposes, the BERA Language will be fairly versatile to define rules and analyze various building environmental conditions.

▼ The aim of this work is to provide solutions that optimize the tradeoffs among design, manufacturability, and cost of ownership posed by technology scaling and sub-wavelength lithography. These solutions may take the form of robust circuit designs, cost-effective resolution technologies, accurate modeling considering process variations, and design rules assessment. We first establish a framework for assessing the impact of process variation on circuit performance, product value and return on investment on alternative processes. Key features include comprehensive modeling and different handling on die-to-die and within-die variation, accurate models of correlations of variation, realistic and quantified projection to future process nodes, and performance sensitivity analysis to improved control of individual device parameter and variation sources. Then we describe a novel minimum cost of correction methodology which determines the level of correction of each layout feature such that the prescribed parametric yield is attained with minimum RET (Resolution Enhancement Technology) cost. This timing driven OPC (Optical Proximity Correction) insertion flow uses a mathematical programming based slack budgeting algorithm to determine OPC level for all polysilicon gate geometries. Designs adopting this methodology show up to 20% MEBES (Manufacturing Electron Beam Exposure System) data volume reduction and 39% OPC runtime improvement. When the systematic correction residual errors become unavoidable, we analyze their impact on a state-of-art microprocessor's speedpath skew. A platform is created for diagnosing and improving OPC quality on gates with specific functionality such as critical gates or matching transistors. Significant changes in full-chip timing analysis indicate the necessity of a post-OPC performance verification design flow. Finally, we quantify the performance, manufacturability and mask cost impact of globally applying several common restrictive design rules. Novel approaches such as locally adapting FDRs (flexible design rules) based on image parameters range, and DRC Plus (preferred design rule enforcement with 2D pattern matching) are also described.

▼ Because the amount of knowledge in the engineering domain nowadays is huge, while being opaque, heterogeneous, distributed and informal at the same time, it is incredibly time-consuming for an engineer to find the knowledge (s)he is looking for and to reuse that knowledge. Furthermore, the amount of knowledge is growing exponentially, while the amount of qualified engineers is decreasing. To increase resource effectiveness and enable engineers to focus on what they do best (come up with creative design solutions) these time-consuming and non-creative tasks need to be removed from the engineer’s plate. This study set out to investigate and offer solutions to the issue of knowledge reuse relating to the knowledge contained in engineering rules, in context of a Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) based Multi-Disciplinary Optimization (MDO) framework, called the Integrated Design and Engineering Engine (IDEE). This research has investigated the different rule types that are required for capturing engineering rules. It was shown that these can be captured by a production rule language. To formally capture this knowledge, this research has identified the available technologies and based on this, extended the ontology based Knowledge Representation Model (KRM) of the IDEE with the production rule language RIF-PRD. Engineering rules are integrated into the KRM by means of a rule ontology that embeds the RIF-PRD expression. It was found that expressing formulas would benefit from an additional extension, which was added in the form of the mathematical language Content MathML. Formulas expressed in Content MathML are embedded into RIF-PRD. To increase the effectiveness of the IDEE approach, an implementation has been created by the author that provides the means to capture and reuse engineering rules in a more user-friendly way; from the point of informal capture to the generation of KBE application code usable by a KBE system, and the generation of process workflows usable by Simulation Work Flow Management (SWFM) tools. In addition, the implementation incorporates a reasoning engine in the form of elREy. This provides the IDEE with reasoning capabilities, used for instance to instantiate workflows. From the use cases it became apparent that all identified engineering rules were able to be captured by the extended KRM via the implementation. The implementation facilitated the modeling considerable. Because of the guidance the user gets, it is even for beginning rule modelers impossible to make a syntax error. For experienced programmers, the semi-graphical modeling might go somewhat slower, though, also due to annotation steps, but the value this brings in return is huge. The annotation provides so much information regarding origin, author, explanations, etc. that it makes the rules and the rationale easy to understand, even long after the creation of the knowledge. Because rules are stored separately they can be managed easily and directly linked to. Due to the capture of the semantics the knowledge contained in rules is easy… Advisors/Committee Members: Van Dijk, R.E.C. (mentor).

▼ The objective of this research is to present a holistic study of the on-chip copper interconnect technology, from interconnect modeling to their manifestation in modern design implementations in the advanced technology landscape. With technology scaling, interconnects have become critical to optimal design and technology enablement; therefore, interconnect analysis and optimization is of utmost importance. Cu/low-k interconnects are studied in physical designs based on high-performance FinFET in the advanced technology nodes. While severe size-effects of copper rapidly increase wire resistance, FinFET technology further magnifies its contribution to the circuit delay. An alternate interconnect sizing is proposed that alleviates wire resistance at the cost of wire capacitance. This wire sizing proposal is demonstrated to improve the circuit performance upto 2x. Furthermore, lithography regimes utilized to pattern advanced interconnects (e.g., LELE and SAQP) induce large variability in interconnect resistance. A novel hybrid patterning regime is proposed, to reduce the variability in interconnect resistance and improve circuit yield. An optimal interconnect design is deduced for low-power designs based on the FDSOI and TFET architectures at the advanced process nodes. In particular, the circuit performance and power is optimized. The circuit study of TFET technology at the physical-design level reveals that these circuits are less impacted by the interconnect resistance problem and more sensitive to interconnect capacitance. A popular interconnect modeling regime based on Rent's rule is re-evaluated for its applicability to system-level modeling of modern designs in the advanced technology landscape. The historical Rent's methods are found to be inaccurate, and a modernized Rent's model is proposed to capture the rapidly evolving facets of VLSI design. Modernized Rent-based interconnect models are derived to exhibit improved calibration with data from a suite of commercial processors, forming a strong foundation for faithful design and technology benchmarking and pathfinding.

▼ As minimum dimensions in integrated circuit technologies are reduced beyond 0.1 m m, linear process scaling becomes more difficult and costly. Exponentially rising manufacturing facility and process scaling costs can be better managed by performing nonlinear process shrinks. Nonlinear scaling allows the horizontal design rules to be reduced by different factors according to their ability to provide area and performance improvement in a cost effective manner. This thesis describes a methodology and CAD tools for use in selecting nonlinear design rule reduction ratios that make effective tradeoffs between die cost and performance. The cost effectiveness of nonlinear scaling is demonstrated for a complementary GaAs (CGaAs^TM) process. CGaAs is a young technology with coarse design rules that would benefit significantly from a nonlinear shrink. The cost/benefit analysis for scaling the design rules is based on a process-independent optimizing SRAM compiler which was developed as part of this work. The methodology for nonlinear scaling includes identifying the rules which have the greatest impact on circuit area and analyzing the area and performance improvements as these rules are scaled through a range of practical scale factors. Benefit data (product of power and delay improvement ratios) is then combined with die cost estimates at each step to yield the cost/benefit ratio, a quantitative metric for design rule reduction. The slopes and inflection points of cost/benefit vs. scale factor plots guide process engineers in selecting reduction ratios for the various design rules. This procedure should be repeated, using the results of one pass as the starting point for the next. The cost/benefit analysis methodology compares embedded static RAMs that are generated by the PUMA process-independent SRAM compiler. This compiler, which is based on Duet's MasterPort^TM layout compactor, can create optimized SRAM cell libraries for any complementary technology. It is capable of exploring a large design space, including the ability to adjust the transistors within the six-transistor memory cell. It produces power-delay curves that are combined with SRAM area measurements to provide the power, delay, and area data required for a cost/benefit analysis. A 0.5 m m CGaAs process is analyzed to demonstrate the methodology. A cost/benefit analysis of the design rules shows that the first scaling step should include a reduction of at least four rules: minimum transistor width, source/drain ohmic width, ohmic contact width, and active overlap of contact. The proportion by which these rules should be reduced depends on the number of wafers over which the scaling costs are amortized, and ranges from 20 to 40%. A similar analysis of the effect of transistor threshold voltage reduction clearly showed diminishing cost/benefit and cost/delay returns for an embedded SRAM.
