Catalog design, catalog maintenance, catalog governance

Abstract Catalog design is a procedure in which a system is assembled by selecting standard components from catalogs of available components. Selection in design involves making a choice among a number of alternatives taking into account several attributes. The information available to a designer to do so during the early stages of project initiation may be uncertain. The uncertainty in information may be imprecise or stochastic. Under these circumstances, a designer has to balance limited resources against the quality of solution obtained or decisions made by accounting for uncertainty in information available. This complex task becomes formidable when dealing with coupled selection problems, that is problems that should be solved simultaneously. Coupled selection problems share a number of coupling attributes among them. In an earlier paper we have shown how selection problems, both coupled and uncoupled can be reformulated as a single compromise Decision Support Problem (DSP) using a deterministic model. In this paper, we show how the traditional compromise DSP can be extended to represent a nondeterministic case. We use fuzzy set theory to model imprecision and Bayesian statistics to model stochastic information. Formulations that can be solved with the same solution scheme are presented to handle both fuzzy and stochastic information in the standard framework of a compromise DSP. The approaches are illustrated by an example involving the coupled selection of a heat exchanger concept and a cooling fluid for a specific application. The emphasis in this paper is placed on explaining the methods.

Future Work

One of the major tasks library patrons are faced with is searching for a good book to read, particularly when they have no specific book in mind. As such, people faced with this task search in places such as online catalogs, looking at existing book reviews and descriptions, and they also ask librarians and other readers’ advisors for assistance in finding book recommendations. This paper attempts to review the research on how people conduct searches for pleasure reading, as well as research for online catalog design in order to inform the search process, leading to recommendations for future work in catalog design and readers’ advisory driven by the application of human factors principles in the search process.

The Many

The development of communication media and information today due to the many information needed by everyone, so the information makers continue to be encouraged to make changes to follow the demands of the times. Where many parties are involved, either directly related to the delivery process, or the acceptance of such information. This information delivery model and system will determine whether the process is working properly. One form of media that is considered effective and can be used as a support in the program information and promotion is through a visual communication or through a catalog. Design Catalog is a way an institution or company commonly used as a sign of identity in doing a good communication and within the internal scope of the company and with colleagues, business partners, or other relevant parties. This study aims to apply the concept of Catalog Catalog media to provide information and more effective promotion of the company's products. Currently PT Global Bangun Mandiri is a company engaged in the field of property where many companies are moving companies together and certainly a competitor. To obtain the necessary data during the research, the author uses several methodologies, among others: problem analysis methods, data collection methods (observation, interview, literature study), design analysis methods, and design concepts. The final result of this research is in the form of Design of Catalog Form media which is expected to deliver effective information and promotion message made with interesting layout with a more visual appearance and easy to understand.
