Modelling & Management of Engineering Processes
SIG of the Design Society. "Engineering processes are the 'glue' that hold the activities within product development and design together. Engineering processes structure these tasks appropriately and ensure the correct and timely use of the appropriate approaches & procedures, methods, data, and tools in order to improve the design process, improve products and services, and properly document product development, processes and the products themselves. It is the aim of this group to contribute to a smart and smooth definition, application, and navigation of Engineering Processes within the scope described above."
wiki.dbpedia.org : About
"DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and to make this information available on the Web. DBpedia allows you to ask sophisticated queries against Wikipedia, and to link other data sets on the Web to Wikipedia data. We hope this will make it easier for the amazing amount of information in Wikipedia to be used in new and interesting ways, and that it might inspire new mechanisms for navigating, linking and improving the encyclopaedia itself."
Over 200 Annotated References on Systems Thinking
R.R. Hake. 2009. "This 1.7 MB compilation of over 200 annotated references and over 300 hot-linked URL’s provides a window into the vast literature on 'Systems Thinking.' Systems Thinking is characterized by the consideration of natural, scientific, engineered, human, or conceptual entities as systems in which the component parts interact with one another and with other systems
so as to produce emergent properties which cannot be understood through analysis of the single parts of the system. Examples are provided by twelve quotes of systems thinkers. References are given in alphabetical order with superscripts that indicate their origin in the following categories: Ecology, Economics, Education, Engineering, Evaluation, General, and Physics."

Visualizing The U.S. Electric Grid | NPR
The U.S. electric grid is a complex network of independently owned and operated power plants and transmission lines. Aging infrastructure, combined with a rise in domestic electricity consumption, has forced experts to critically examine the status and health of the nation's electrical systems.

scHolar index: H-index from Google Scholar searches
Use the form above to query Google Scholar. Start with a simple author query, e.g. "alan turing" or "a turing". Results will be processed to compute and visualize the corresponding H index (and other metrics). Note that since Google does not serve more than 1000 results for any query, the output might be partial in some cases.

OScar - Reinvent Mobility - Home
It is the goal of the OScar Project to develop a car according to Open Source principles. In our opinion, a car is not a vehicle full of high-tech gadgets. Instead, we are looking for a simple and functional concept to spread mobility. Form follows function.
