Reverse vaccinology is defined as the process of vaccine development where the novel antigens of a virus or organism are identified by analyzing the genomic information of that particular organism or virus. In reverse vaccinology, various tools of bioinformatics are used for identifying the novel antigens useful for vaccine development by dissecting the genome as well as for studying the genetic makeup of a pathogen. 3, record 2, English, - reverse%20vaccinology

La vaccinologie inverse identifie des gènes exploitables. Une fois identifiés, les gènes «exploitables» peuvent être combinés entre eux, puis introduits dans un organisme capable de se multiplier rapidement – une levure par exemple –, afin de produire des candidats antigènes. Ces derniers seront ensuite triés en fonction de leur aptitude à susciter des réponses immunitaires protectrices. 2, record 2, French, - vaccinologie%20inverse

Simultaneous engineering is understood to mean an integrated, parallel approach to designing the product and the process at the same time, e.g. in vehicle development. The basic idea of this concept is to move from formerly strictly sequential, discrete processes towards carrying them out in parallel or overlapping them. 3, record 4, English, - simultaneous%20engineering
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Design process is defined as being the whole of the tasks necessary for an idea, originating from customer needs, to be achieved as a product or service satisfying the said customer's needs. Some of these tasks are sequential, but as the "time to market"(development cycle) has to be shorter every day, several tasks are led in parallel : risk studies are launched even before having finished the functional analysis, etc... This concept is named Simultaneous Engineering, or Competing Engineering or Integrated Development. It is supported by a serie of methodologic tools, based on quality(Quality Function Deployment-QFD, Value Analysis, Functional Analysis, FMEA, Design For Manufacturing,...) and organization(Project Group, Process Organization,...) as well as on technologic means(Computer Assisted Design, Computer Assisted Manufacturing, Fast Prototype Process,...). 2, record 4, English, - simultaneous%20engineering
