    new revTex version available ... what do they mean by this? how do they use XML and latex to XML? would this also be an option for acta futura? "While we appreciate the benefits to authors of preparing manuscripts in TeX, especially for math-intensive manuscripts, it is neither a cost-effective composition tool (for the volume of pages AIP currently produces) nor is it a format that can be used effectively for online publishing."

    Dunno really, they may have some in-house process that converts LaTeX to XML for some reason. Probably they are using some subset of SGML, the standard generalized markup language from which both HTML and XML derive. Don't think is really relevant for Acta Futura, and the rest of the world seems to get along with TeX just fine...

    not latest news but still, he is probably the most high profile SPS advocate out there

    Would be nice to also push for other alternative fuel and biofuel like the ones studied at Glenn Research Center for airacraft gas turbines (Fischer Tropsch Fuel instead of JP-8) and presented an the International Workshop on Environment and Alternative Energy at ESTEC

  • Among the concepts to be studied by the Astrium team are a two-stage configuration with a Vulcain II-type or expander cycle cryogenic main-stage engine, a two-stage design with a methane/oxygen main-stage engine; and a three-stage configuration with solid propulsion first- and second-stage motors.

    doesn't look very ambitious with such choices!

  • They both believe the systems engineering processes that have served the aerospace and defense community since pre-Apollo days are no longer adequate for the large and complex systems ­industry is now developing.

    1) it has to actively work and produce a result that's what you intended 2) the design must be robust. 3) it should be efficient 4) it should minimize unintended consequences. "But we have to establish a formal, mathematically precise mechanism to measure complexity and adaptability . . . [where] adaptability means the system elements have sufficient margin, and can serve multiple purposes." "We need to break the paradigm of long cycles from design to product" some interesting questions....

    indeed ... already hotly debated in CDF ... any suggestions in addition to what we already contributed to this (e.g. system level optimisation)
  • Joris _ on 03 Nov 10
     
    what is the outcome of the CDF study ? I think actually that optimisation is not at all the key point. As it is stressed in this news, it is robustness (points 2 and 4). This is something we should think about ...
