Abstract: HOOD method finding objects and operations object description skeleton class and instance objects real-time design Ada source code generation distributed software design developments of HOOD.
TL;DR: The interest of the HOOD method (first developed for the space industry) is shown on an ecological example, which uses Artificial Life techniques to simulate the development of a Tunicate bloom.
TL;DR: The author provides an overview of HOOD and then looks at some case studies of its application at the European Space Agency and Thorn EMI Electronics, with a general look at its benefits.
Abstract: HOOD (Hierarchical Object-Oriented Design) is object-oriented design method which was originally targeted at Ada program development. Object-oriented design approaches are based on identifying the classes of objects in a system. Classes are described in terms of their behaviour and structure, with each object modelling a real-world entity. A class and its operations are defined as a single unit. Each object is a member of a class and the operations are defined for all members of a class. The author provides an overview of HOOD and then looks at some case studies of its application at the European Space Agency and Thorn EMI Electronics. He concludes with a general look at its benefits. >
TL;DR: In this paper, a program in C++ that solves electromagnetic scattering problems for arbitrarily shaped scatterers is presented. But this program is implemented by using a surface integral formulation of Maxwell's equations, which discretizes the surface of the scatterer into thousands of triangles.
Abstract: This thesis project was to write a program in C++ that solves electromagnetic scattering problems for arbitrarily shaped scatterers. This was implemented by using a surface integral formulation of Maxwell's equations, which discretizes the surface of the scatterer into thousands of triangles. The method of moments (MoM) was applied, which calculates the Green's functions between each triangle element. A matrix equation is obtained and solved using the Robin Hood (RH) method. The solution to this equation gives the scattered electromangetic field. This program is first tested on a sphere, which is compared to the analytic solution known as Mie scattering. Once these results are confirmed, the program can be used for the KATRIN experiment to ensure that no Penning traps occur in the electron spectrometer. Thesis Supervisor: Professor Joseph A.
