IN3: A framework for in-network computation of neural networks in the programmable data plane by Xiaoquan Zhang, Lin Cui, Fung Po Tso, Wenzhi Li, Weijia Jia

“…In-network computing (INC) mitigates this issue by running computing tasks directly in the networks on the data paths using programmable data planes (PDP). However, it is challenging to embed more sophisticated computing tasks, such as neural networks, in the networks due to the limitations in the computation and storage resources of PDP. …”

Value stream mapping to reduce the lead-time of a product development process by Satish Tyagi, Alok Choudhary, Xianming Cai, Kai Yang

“…Lean thinking concepts encompass a board range of tools and methods intended to produce bottom line results however, value stream mapping (VSM) method is used to explore the wastes, inefficiencies, non-valued added steps in a single, definable process out of complete product development process (PDP). This single step is highly complex and occurs once while the PDP lasts for 3-5 years. …”

Information/inspiration: a web based sustainable design tool by Tracy Bhamra, Vicky Lofthouse

“…Research completed as long ago as 1999 at Cranfield University [1] identified that to be successful, sustainable design should be considered at the earliest stages of PDP, where the design brief is most flexible. Despite this, research has shown that many companies do not have the appropriate mechanisms to integrate sustainable design early in the product development process and that there is a lack of appropriate tools. …”
