Otherwise, there is a risk that readers misinterpret certain aspects of some models. 4 The Icebricks Approach The icebricks tool is a process modeling software prototype developed to support BPM consulting projects in the retail industry.
With icebricks, a prototype has been developed that demonstrates the feasibility of this concept. Hence, future research can focus on extending icebricks with other 188 J. Becker features that might facilitate standardization and easy comprehension of process models.

In our prototype Kitcom we decided to integrate the controls as early as possible, following a prudence principle for a detailed description of the identification
Therefore, in the following, we demonstrate the integration (as well as the definition of reference controls) by means of a prototypical implementation within the adaptive Wfms Aristaflow (see http://www. aristaflow. com). 4 Prototype Kitcom Integrating Controls

the prototype requires two parts: firstly, reference controls, including the definition of situations in the workflow instance (status of integration parameters) where an integration of a control process becomes necessary,
Figure 6 shows an overview of the architecture of our Kitcom prototype (light grey fields are the original components of Aristaflow,
the prototype has the general functionality for integrating control activities into workflows during execution, satisfying both the need for flexibility by ad hoc changes of processes-schemes and the compliance with policy rules through dynamic integration of required reference controls. 5 Discussion and Conclusion For many companies,
the prototype implementation also works for any custom Workflow Client implementation. Thus, Kitcom is seen as a promising next step in automating compliance, that is,

Building Bridges 785 From Research to Production Stage The outcome of the research process will be a solution prototype for the identified SIP.
We understand as prototype any research outcome, in any knowledge area, that has not yet been taken to the necessary scale to solve the target problem.
Once the prototype is in place, it must be scaled up to allow the solution to reach all the people in need of it.
For traveling from prototype to production the intervention of public policy becomes crucial. Public procurement is fundamental to achieve operative solutions for SIP:
The research ended with a prototype that did not reach the required threshold for detecting the streptococcus
Researchers have developed, at prototype level, synthetic skin made of soluble collagen from bovine tendon (waste material in the meat industry, abundant and free of mad cow disease in Uruguay),
the lack of a clear and voiced demand for solutions to an unacceptable situation ends blocking the possibility of producing a solution out of a working prototype.
The prototype was developed at the Center for Biomedical Engineering from the Faculty of engineering, and the results were tested successfully at the university hospital (Hospital de Clínicas).
The passage from prototype to production took a long time. Finally, with support from international funds, the technology was transferred from the university to a national electronics company, under university patent.
The company introduced improvements to the prototype and hired another company specialized in marketing of medical products for its distribution.

This section also looks at various funding tools for emerging ideas and prototypes. Prototypes, pilots and trials As an idea progresses through multiple stages of rapid prototyping,
it faces many challenges: the feasibility of making the product, delivering the service, how to deal with particular issues,

These"three dimensional printers"allow designers to quickly create tangible prototypes of their designs, rather than just two-dimensional pictures.
In addition, prototypes can be used for design testing. For example, an aerospace engineer might mount a model airfoil in a wind tunnel to measure lift
Designers have utilized always prototypes as RP allows them to be made faster and less expensively. In addition to prototypes, RP techniques can also be used to make tooling (referred to as rapid tooling) and even production-quality parts (rapid manufacturing.
For small production runs and complicated objects, rapid prototyping is often the best manufacturing process available.
Most prototypes require from three to seventy-two hours to build, depending on the size and complexity of the object.
or months required to make a prototype by traditional means such as machining. These dramatic time savings allow manufacturers to bring products to market faster and more cheaply. 6. 2. 1. 1
The rapid development of models or prototypes may largely reduce the development cost and the product development cycle.
the development of such models or prototypes is conducted usually by technologists, who have no regard for the cost of such a development.
Therefore, any such development should be conducted upon an initial assessment of the models or prototypes from a combined team of technologists and"Innosupport:
Each prototype should provide answers to specific questions. The prototype should be as detailed and complex as necessary to provide the required information.
If there are multiple ideas, then it is necessary that multiple prototypes be developed. Decisions should be made during the development of the prototype
and one should not await its final form. The swifter the prototype development, the swifter the overall development of the new product. 6. 2. 1. 3. How to use rapid prototyping?
At least six different rapid prototyping techniques are commercially available, each with unique strengths. Because RP technologies are being used increasingly in non-prototyping applications,
the techniques are referred often collectively to as solid free-form fabrication, computer automated manufacturing, or layered manufacturing.
Metal prototypes are difficult to make, though this should change in the near future. For metal parts, large production runs,
First, properties of rapid prototypes vary from one coordinate direction to another. For example, prototypes are usually weaker and less accurate in the z (vertical) direction than in the x-y plane.
In addition, part orientation partially determines the amount of time required to build the model. Placing the shortest dimension in the z direction reduces the number of layers
This involves removing the prototype from the machine and detaching any supports. Some photosensitive materials need to be cured fully before use.
Prototypes may also require minor cleaning and surface treatment. Sanding, sealing, and/or painting the model will improve its appearance
and develop a pre-production functional prototype of the boiler ahead of a full scale market launch in March 1998.

"Fully functional prototypes The first components to be rapid prototyped by external RP expert, AMSYS Were filled four Glass Nylon (GFN) sintered hydraulic water connectors,
"It was important to have fully functional prototypes which could withstand laboratory tests, "explained Mr Astin-Kilgallon."
"I was impressed by how well the prototypes performed and in particular how quickly AMSYS were able to produce them-just three days,
"Of particular importance was the fact that the prototypes highlighted some design problems early on in the overall product design cycle.
Once these had been received, it took only a few days to produce the prototypes (as opposed to three weeks using a traditional model maker.
equipment prototypes can be tested, etc. Competitive Advantage The ultimate benefit of product testing is competitive advantage.
Prototypes of the new design are made and these are tested thoroughly, both for their physical dimensions but also their acoustic properties.

instead, a key gate is included between idea generation and design/prototype solution. This gate, in essence, is a gate of idea screening and selection.
