Operations Research Introduction to Linear Optimization and Extensions with MATLAB® Roy H. Kwon University of Toronto, Canada

Operations Research Series

Filling the need for an introductory book on linear programming that discusses the important ways to mitigate parameter uncertainty, Introduction to Linear Optimization and Extensions with MATLAB® provides a concrete and intuitive yet rigorous introduction to modern linear optimization. In addition to fundamental topics, the book discusses current linear optimization technologies such as predictor-path following interior point methods for both linear and quadratic optimization as well as the inclusion of linear optimization of uncertainty i.e. stochastic programming with recourse and robust optimization.

The author introduces both stochastic programming and robust optimization as frameworks to deal with parameter uncertainty. The author’s unusual approach—developing these topics in an introductory book—highlights their importance. Since most applications require decisions to be made in the face of uncertainty, the early introduction of these topics facilitates decision making in real world environments.

The author also includes applications and case studies from finance and supply chain management that involve the use of MATLAB. A solutions manual and figure slides available upon qualifying course adoption.

Manufacturing & Processing Sustainable Process Engineering Concepts, Strategies, Evaluation and Implementation David Brennan Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia

This book introduces chemical engineering students to key concepts, strategies, and evaluation methods in sustainable process engineering. The book is intended to supplement chemical engineering texts in fundamentals and design, rather than replace them. The key objectives of the book are to widen system boundaries beyond a process plant to include utility supplies, interconnected plants, wider industry sectors, and entire product life cycles; identify waste and its sources in process and utility systems and adopt waste minimization strategies; broaden evaluation to include technical, economic, safety, environmental, social, and sustainability criteria and to integrate the assessments; and broaden the engineering horizon to incorporate planning, development, design, and operations.

The Art of Systems Architecting Third Edition Mark W. Maier Aerospace Corporation, Chantilly, Virginia, USA

If engineering is the art and science of technical problem solving, systems architecting happens when you don’t yet know what the problem is. The third edition of a highly respected bestseller, The Art of Systems Architecting provides in-depth coverage of the least understood part of systems design: moving from a vague concept and limited resources to a satisfactory and feasible system concept and an executable program. The book provides a practical, heuristic approach to the "art" of systems architecting. It provides methods for embracing, and then taming, the growing complexity of modern systems.

Selected Contents:

New in the Third Edition:

Case Study: Intelligent Transportation Systems

• Five major case studies illustrating successful and unsuccessful practices

Social Systems. Case Study: Hierarchical to Layered Systems

INTRODUCTION Extending the Architecting Paradigm Heuristics as Tools NEW DOMAINS, NEW INSIGHTS Case Study: DC-3 Builder-Architected Systems Case Study: Mass and Lean Production Manufacturing Systems

• Information on architecture frameworks as standards for architecture descriptions

Software and Information Technology Systems

• New methods for integrating business strategy and architecture and the role of architecture as the technical embodiment of strategy

Collaborative Systems

• Integration of process guidance for organizing and managing architecture projects

Case Study: The Global Positioning System MODELS AND MODELING Representation Models and Systems Architecting Design Progression in Systems Architecting

• Updates to the rapidly changing fields of software and systems-of-systems architecture

Integrated Modeling Methodologies

• Organization of heuristics around a simple and practical process model

THE SYSTEMS ARCHITECTING PROFESSION

A Practical Heuristic Approach to the Art of Systems Architecting Extensively rewritten to reflect the latest developments, the text explains how to create a system from scratch, presenting invention/design rules together with clear explanations of how to use them. The author supplies practical guidelines for avoiding common systematic failures while implementing new mandates. He uses a heuristics-based approach that provides an organized attack on very ill-structured engineering problems. Examining architecture as more than a set of diagrams and documents, but as a set of decisions that either drive a system to success or doom it to failure, the book provide methods for integrating business strategy with technical architectural decision making.

Ergonomics Introduction to Ergonomics

Fitting the Human

Third Edition

Introduction to Ergonomics, Sixth Edition

R.S. Bridger Hants, UK

The past decade has seen the development and testing of an increasingly large set of ergonomics tools. With new sections in every chapter, the third edition of Introduction to Ergonomics describes a representative selection of tools and demonstrates how to apply them in practice. In fully researched, stand alone sections with worked examples, the book provides useful, practical skills for dealing with realworld ergonomic problems. The author’s approach is based on a professional model in which specialized skills are backed-up by a good general knowledge of ergonomics. This approach is in accordance with International Ergonomics Association guidelines. A solutions manual is available upon qualifying course adoption.

Selected Contents: Introduction Body Mechanics at Work: Risk Assessment and Design User-Centered Workspace Design Using Anthropometric Data Static Work: Principles for Risk Assessment and Design Repetitive Tasks: Risk Assessment and Task Design Design and Evaluation of Manual Handling Tasks Physically Demanding Work: Stress and Fatigue Job Demands, Workplace Stress, and Health

Karl H.E. Kroemer Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA

Using a direct, down-toearth style to provide essential knowledge about ergonomic designs that fit the human body and mind, Fitting the Human: Introduction to Ergonomics, Sixth Edition follows the motto of the previous editions: coverage of sound science that is easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to apply.

This sixth edition of a seminal textbook remains true to its original goal of providing quick access to the ergonomic information required to engineer workplaces, machinery, offices, computers, lighting, and more to fit the humans who use them.

With new data and an updated layout that helps students grasp the concepts, this book delineates true human engineering, as opposed to trying to select or train people to do things with ill-designed equipment.

Ergonomics guru Karl Kroemer organizes detailed knowledge regarding body size, strength, and mobility, as well as motivation, perceptions, acquired skills, and work demands including shift work. This sixth edition maintains the straightforward, lucid presentation of the previous editions, while updating the material to include factors that continually change the demands on the human not only in equipment but in the physical and social environments.
