ARGELY as a rallying cry, the term software engineering was coined in 1969 to name a NATO workshop on software development. Since then many have criticized the use of the word engineering to describe modern software production, since it has so little in common with mature engineering disciplines. One mark of a mature engineering discipline is separation of routine from innovative design. In the beginning of an engineering discipline's life, a few people with vision bring a new kind of product into the world. In this period, every act of creation is a virtuosic performance; every design is innovative. But as the field matures, practioners gain experience, and building the product becomes more routine, less costly, and less error-prone. Once the field is established, most design work is routine, and ordinary practioners are capable of doing it. These practioners innovate only when necesary. For design practice to make the transition from innovative to routine, design knowledge must be captured, organized, and disseminated. Handbooks are a popular means of doing this. One example, Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook , is a tome several inches thick, filled with tables, diagrams, and schematics that cover topics from the basics of the metric system to the intricate innards of heat pumps. In the bulk of the text, noted practioners give useful, specific advice about the standard solutions to common design tasks.

Vitruvius - Definition Marcus Vitruvius Pollio was a Roman writer architect and engineer , active in the 1st century BC . He was the author of De Architectura , known today as The Ten Books of Architecture, a treatise in Latin on architecture , and perhaps the first work about this discipline. Mainly known for his writings, Vitruvius was himself an architect; Frontinus says he was in charge of the aqueducts of Rome . He is often colloquially referred to as the first architect . We must not make the mistake, however, of equating Roman architects with a modern architect . Rather we must think of them as engineers, architects and artists combined. Among notable concepts contained in De Architectura (probably written between and 23 BC ), Vitruvius declares that quality depends on the social relevance of the artist 's work, not on the form or workmanship of the work itself. Perhaps the most famous declaration from De Architectura is one still bandied in architectural circles: "Well building hath three conditions: firmness, commodity, and delight." This quote is taken from Sir Henry Wotton 's translation of 1624, and there is some debate about whether it is a direct translation or a paraphrase of Vitruvius' meaning. Nonetheless, it is most often attributed to Vitruvius, rather than to Wotton.

VITRUVIUS Project Summary In future, detailed and fully up-to-date personal information, including data from real-time body sensors, will be accessible for widespread use by multiple services and applications. This information can come from sources as diverse as certified medical exams carried out by qualified professionals, or mass-market on-body accelerometers casually used for computer gaming. The use of body sensor data can start early in people’s life, when baby phones measure the emotional state to gently guide the newborn into a peaceful sleep. Late in people’s life, body sensing can play an important role in assisting seniors to age in dignity in a safe natural home environment. During the decades in between, sensor data can be used in applications ranging from sport coaching to intensive computer gaming and medical– preferably ambulatory–monitoring during periods of illness, or chronic need of attention. Yet the widespread use of body data, not only including people’s physiology but also their emotions, raises societal issues. It also comes with interesting scientific challenges, particularly because the technical constraints of node power consumption and wireless links and networks have to be taken into account. The VITRUVIUS project aims at exploring the underlying key consequences for the architecture of Body Sensor Networks (BSN) and the handling of information about the individual’s body coming from power-constrained wireless sensor nodes The handling of medical information about the human is migrating from a hospital-centric to a patient-centric approach. Body data is not only used in healthcare but also in lifestyle and entertainment services, where the person-centric thinking already is pervasive. Ownership and exercising access rights of personal privacy-sensitive data is a delicate question, and has to be studied at architecture level, in the context of severe limitations in ultra low power sensors nodes with unreliable and bandwidth-limited sensor modules.

welcome history - vitruvius - other men ... about this site vitruvius Marcus Vitruvius was a Roman architect in 1 BCE and authored the famous treatise on architecture entitled De Architectura. The treatise is broken into 10 different books, each dealing with aspects of architecture, city planning, and machines. His book was the authority on these subjects up through the Renaissance, and still has influences in modern architecture today. It is in the beginning of Book III, in his discussion on the building of temples, where the concept of Virtruvian Man emerges: Similarly, in the members of a temple there ought to be the greatest harmony in the symmetrical relations of the different parts to the general magnitude of the whole. Then again, in the human body the central point is naturally the navel. For if a man can be placed flat on his back, with his hands and feet extended, and a pair of compasses centered at his navel, the fingers and toes of his two hands and feet will touch the circumference of a circle described therefrom. And just as the human body yields a circular outline, so too a square figure may be found from it. For if we measure the distance from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, and then apply that measure to the outstretched arms, the breadth will be found to be the same as the height, as in the case of plane surfaces which are completely square. (Marcus Vitruvius

Don't our ideas of beauty shift and fight and transform themselves in different times and spaces? This image is by Marcus Vitruvius, the famous Ancient Roman architect. Vituvius's most famous work is entitled Ten Books on Architecture, and was written in approximately 20-30 BC. It is the only text on the subject of architecture to survive antiquity. It was also one of the first texts in history to draw the connection between the architecture of the body and that of the building. Vitruvius believed that an architect should focus on three central themes when preparing a design for a building: firmitas (strength), utilitas (functionality), and venustas (beauty).

Vitruvius Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (born ca. 80/70 BC?; died ca. 25 BC) was a Roman writer, architect and engineer, active in the 1st century BC. Little is known about his life. Even his first name Marcus and his cognomen Pollio are uncertain. They are only mentioned by Cetius Faventinus. Most data about his life are extracted from his own work. Whether these writings were actually written by one author or whether they were compiled by later librarians and copyists, remains an open question. Design for a Vitruvian water-screwHe was born a free Roman citizen, most likely at Formiae in Campania. He is believed to have served in the Roman army in Spain and Gaul under Julius Caesar. He was probably one of the army engineers, constructing war machines for sieges. In later years he was employed by his sponsor, the emperor Augustus, entitled with a pension to guarantee his financial independence. His date of death is unknown, which suggests that he had enjoyed only little popularity during his lifetime. He is said to be the author of De architectura, known today as The Ten Books of Architecture, a treatise written of Latin and Greek on architecture, dedicated to the emperor Augustus. It is the only surviving major book on architecture from classical antiquity. Mainly known for his writings, Vitruvius was himself an architect. Frontinus mentions him in connection with the standard sizes of pipes (Aq. I.25). The only building, however, that we know Vitruvius to have worked on is, as he himself tells us (de Arch. V.i.6), a basilica at Fanum Fortunae, now the modern town of Fano. The basilica has disappeared so completely that its very site is a matter of conjecture.

Text and translation Aedium autem principia sunt, e quibus constat figurarum aspectus; et primum in antis, quod graece naos en parastasin dicitur, deinde prostylos, amphiprostylos, peripteros, pseudodipteros, hypaethros. Horum exprimuntur formationes his rationibus. Translation It is from the plan of a temple that the effect of its design arises. And first in antis , which in Greek is called naos en parastasin ; next, prostyle, amphiprostyle, peripteral, pseudodipteral, hypaethral. The designs of these are formulated in the following manner. In antis erit aedes, cum habebit in fronte antas parietum qui cellam circumcludunt, et inter antas in medio columnas duas supraque fastigium symmetria ea conlocatum, quae in hoc libro fuerit perscripta. Huius autem exemplar erit ad tres Fortunas ex tribus quod est proxime portam Collinam. Translation A temple will be in antis when it has in front pilasters terminating the walls which enclose the shrine, and in the middle, between the pilasters, two columns, and above a gable, built with the symmetry to be set forth in this book. An example of this will be the Temple of Fortune, nearest of the three to the Colline Gate. Prostylos omnia habet quemadmodum in antis, columnas autem contra antas singulares duas supraque epistylia, quemadmodum et in antis, et dextra ac sinistra in versuris singula. Huius exemplar est in insula Tiberina in aede Iovis et Fauni.

She was launched in December of 1943 and used in the sugar trade with Cuba. In March of 1944, the Vitruvius and the S.S. David O. Saylor set sail for Liverpool, England to join a fleet of ships to participate in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. On July 16, 1944, the S.S. Vitruvius and Saylor were partially sunk to form the "Gooseberry" breakwater off the coast of Normandy. Location The S.S. Vitruvius lies off the coast of Normandy, France. At the time of her sinking, she was still visible above the water. How much is left of her now is unknown. Photos None available. However, since all the McCloskey ships are identical, you can see photos of the other ships to see what theVitruvius looked like.

Architects should be educated, skillful with the pencil, instructed in geometry, know much history, have followed the philosophers with attention, understand music, have some knowledge of medicine, know the opinions of the jurists, and be acquainted with astronomy and the theory of the heavens. Building well has three conditions: firmness, commodity, and delight. Pictures should not be given approbation which are not likenesses of reality; even if they are refined creations executed with artistic skill.
