Networks make it easy to establish ad hoc collaborating communities of people and computing devices. They configure and reconfigure themselves automatically, as nodes appear, migrate, and disappear. This makes them easier to maintain than before, when networks were tuned largely for static wired topologies. Local networks connect seamlessly with each other, with satellite and terrestrial networks, and with a large number and variety of physical devices that can be used to monitor and control the physical world. The demand for network technologies and communications is large and growing rapidly. Networking should be on-demand, with whomever or whatever they want, regardless…

Housing is a system of energy and environment and required to accommodate wants and needs of individuals and society, which are usually considered to be diverse and dynamic. The 'needs' factor often reflects minimum quality of end-user products (i.e. housing) and may embrace 'adequacy' being prescribed in conventional codes, while the 'wants' may be satisfied only if they are defined clearly by stakeholders (e.g. house-users and builder/developers) at the design decision making stage. 'Mass customisation' is an oxymoron or, perhaps, a paradigm case of a systems approach to identifying the aforementioned wants and needs that should be incorporated into the…

Improving Long Term Bridge Performance, Innovative and Sustainable Design Techniques & Various Delivery and Funding Models Our nation’s bridges are deteriorating. Corrosion, environmental stress and an increase in traffic volume due to ever-growing numbers of commuters are all taking their toll on these aging infrastructures, used by millions daily. On the East Coast, a large number of bridges were built in the 1950s and 1960s with a projected life span of 50 to 60 years. With reductions in budgets and the overwhelming majority of these bridges in need of retrofitting and repairs, the Department of Transportation (DOT) has had to…
