MODULAR ARCHITECTURE [11 records]

Record 1 2024-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

A problem solving model in which a shared working memory called a blackboard, that can be accessed by several knowledge sources, is used to communicate intermediate results or new data.

CONT

The blackboard model of problem solving is a highly structured, special case of opportunistic problem solving. In addition to opportunistic reasoning as a knowledge-application strategy, the blackboard model prescribes the organization of the domain knowledge and all the input and intermediate and partial solutions needed to solve the problem.

CONT

Classic blackboard models have a modular architecture consisting of several knowledge sources, a database or blackboard, and a scheduler.

OBS

Term and definition standardized by ISO/IEC.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Dans ce modèle, les diverses sources de connaissance sont des processus indépendants qui, théoriquement, s'ignorent mutuellement et qui communiquent par l'intermédiaire d'une base de données complexe, le blackboard.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

[An instrument] offering a choice of spatial resolution, incidence angle and swath width.

CONT

Figure 9 shows the modular data handling architecture of a multi-mode SAR instrument, whose parameters are given in Table II.

OBS

It will also provide extensions of [RADARSAT-1] capability through increased functionality with regards to dual frequency and multi-polarization combinations (including polarimetric), and higher spatial resolution possibly through a spotlight mode.

Key term(s)
  • multimode SAR
  • multimode synthetic aperture radar
  • multi-mode synthetic aperture radar

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
  • Télédétection
DEF

[Instrument] offrant un choix de résolutions spatiales, d'angles d'incidence et de largeurs de fauchée [...]

CONT

Le programme RADARSAT-1 a non seulement pleinement atteint ses objectifs, même à mi-mandat, mais il est à l'origine d'innovations techniques (ex. SAR multimode), de livraison de services opérationnels à la clientèle (tel qu'une réponse fiable et rapide), de nouvelles techniques de commercialisation et de partenariats dans le domaine de l'observation de la Terre [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

The European Technology Exposure Facility(EuTEF) is a programmable, multifunctional, fully automated system. The modular architecture provides uniform interfaces for instruments-up to seven instrument modules can be accommodated and operated simultaneously.

CONT

... the Technology Exposure Facility will [be used to] test superconductor systems destined for satellite communications. These systems will provide power saving and enhanced performance. The module will also be testing electric propulsion for communications systems for orbital transfer manoeuvering, station keeping and attitude control.

OBS

European technology exposure facility; EuTEF: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Research Facilities
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

The Technology Exposure Facility(TEF), currently under study by ESA [European Space Agency], is a way of accommodating a wide range of research and development investigations and offering a controlled exposure to the space station environment.... The principal new feature for an exposed payload facility is the presence of a single, multi-purpose robotic servicing capability.... Together with the robotics, the modular architecture of the facility allows on orbit reconfiguration and, more significantly, a "black box" approach to the accommodation of individual payloads.

CONT

The Flexible Automation and Operations User Station(FAMOUS) is an open, scalable, low cost framework for operations planning and preparation, and monitor and control of all types of robots. The architecture is open and modular such that it can easily accommodate future enhancements : modules may be modified(enhanced or adapted) and new ones added with minimal impact on the other elements.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Corporate Structure
  • Productivity and Profitability
CONT

The open networked organization is based on cooperative, multidisciplinary teams and businesses networked together across the enterprise. Rather than a rigid structure, it is a modular organizational architecture in which business teams operate as a network of... client and server functions.... As servers, they receive requests or directions from clients,... and add value for the purpose of serving these clients. The new model is derived from Michael Porter's concept of "value chain, "but extended into the notion of a value network--reflecting the rise of the open networked enterprise.... The provision of value is not something chained in a linear way, but rather generated through an ever-changing open network. It is a model designed to encourage flexibility, innovation, entrepreneurship, and responsiveness.

Subject field(s)
  • Corporate Structure
CONT

The open networked organization is based on co-operative, multidisciplinary teams and businesses networked together across the enterprise. Rather than a rigid structure, it is a modular organizational architecture in which business teams operate as a network of... client and server functions. Teams are both clients and servers for other teams, who are both internal and external to the organization.... It is a model designed to encourage flexibility, innovation, entrepreneurship, and responsiveness.

OBS

a new form of corporate structure that is replacing the traditional hierarchical structure. (Based on TAPIT, 1993, p. 33.)

OBS

The new organization has many other names. ... Peter Drucker calls it the networked organization. For Rosabeth Moss Kanter, it’s dancing elephants. For Peter Keen, it’s the relational organization. For Tom Peters, it’s life without hierarchy. For D. Quinn Mills, it’s the cluster organization. Charles Savage calls it human networking.
