  • A Preliminary Software Engineering Theory as Investigated by Published Experiments
    Empirical Software Engineering, 2001
    Co-Authors: Andreas Zendler
    Abstract:

    The investigation of software Engineering techniques by using the experiment sets up the discipline of experimental software Engineering. The effectiveness and efficiency of software Engineering techniques have been studied in experiments and confronted with empirical data. The results of these experiments are published in a diversity of journals and proceeding papers. However, there is not an overview so far which represents the available results systematically. By taking the results from published experiments that deal with analysis, design, implementation, test, maintenance, quality assurance, and reuse techniques a preliminary software Engineering Theory is developed. From this Theory, fruitful problems, suggestions for gathering new data, and entirely new lines of investigation are deduced.

  • Up or Out?—Economic-Engineering Theory of Flood Levee Height and Setback
    Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management, 2009
    Co-Authors: Tingju Zhu, Jay R. Lund
    Abstract:

    Levee setback location and height are important issues in flood levee system design and modification. This paper derives an economic-Engineering Theory of the optimal trade-off of levee setback for height both for original and redesigned flood levees, demon- strating the interconnection of levee setback, height, costs and risks, and economically optimal design. These analyses assume stationary flood hydrology and static ratios among damageable property value, unit construction cost, and land price. The economic trade-off of levee setback for height depends on economic cost and benefit and hydraulic parameters, and only indirectly on flood frequency and economic damage parameters. The redesign rules derived in this paper indicate conditions where existing levees should be raised or moved in response to changes in conditions. Numerical examples illustrate the results. This paper demonstrates several ideas and Theory for economic flood levee system planning and policy rather than providing guidelines for direct design practice.

  • Economic-Engineering Theory of Flood Levee Height and Setback
    World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006, 2006
    Co-Authors: Tingju Zhu, Jay R. Lund
    Abstract:

    Levee setback (location) and height are important issues in flood levee system design or modification. This paper derives an economic-Engineering Theory of the optimal trade-off of levee setback for height for both original and re-designed flood levees, demonstrating the interconnection of levee setback, height, costs and risks, and economically optimal decisions. All the analyses assume that hydrologic and economic conditions are “static”. Expected total flood control costs are shown to be convex for conditions of wide channels where flood flows have a lognormal frequency distribution. The re-design rules derived in this paper hold for much wider conditions. Numerical examples illustrate the results. This paper demonstrates several ideas and Theory for economic flood levee system planning and policy rather than providing guidelines for direct design practice.

  • Statistical Analysis of Authors and Citations in "Systems Engineering Theory & Practice"
    Journal of Library and Information Sciences in Agriculture, 2006
    Co-Authors: Jia Yu-ying
    Abstract:

    By adopting bibliometric method,this paper quantitatively analyzed the article authors(including their distribution of disciplines,areas and types of collaboration) and the citations(such as quantities,preferred languages,genres,years of distribution of journal citations and self-citations) published in the periodical entitled "Systems Engineering Theory Practice" during the period of 2002-2004,and revealed the document application in China's systematic Engineering and the structure of the researchers in this field and their distribution regularity.

  • A Statistical Analysis of Funded-papers in Systems Engineering-Theory & Practice
    Journal of Library and Information Sciences in Agriculture, 2006
    Co-Authors: Jia Yu-ying
    Abstract:

    This paper,adopted the method of document metrology,is intended to make a statistical analysis of the four following aspects: numbers of the funded thesis,the fund-aided amounts,distribution of the finance-sponsored organizations and systematic distribution of the funded thesis in the periodical Systems Engineering Theory and Practice over the years of 2002 and 2004,and thus providing references for the knowledge of the fund aid in China's systems Engineering,the research stages and potentials in scientific field from all such organizations and divisions.
