Jun 28, 20153 likes576 views

This document outlines a research design process for architecture, engineering, construction, and operations management applications. It recommends using a mixed methods design to holistically explore research problems from multiple perspectives. The process involves first drafting a problem statement and collecting quantitative data. Qualitative data is then collected to develop the problem space and hypothesis. The data sets are aligned within the problem space to create a final hypothesis. Technical writing standards are provided for presenting the research in an objective, third-person style with appropriate sections.

RESEARCH DESIGN
When identifying a problem for research in Architecture,
Engineering, Construction, or Operations Management
(AECO) a Mixed Methods Design (MMD) should be
implemented as it allows for holistic exploration of the subject
from multiple perspectives.

MMD is both quantitative and qualitative, using the integration
of data sets and observations to eﬀectively:

• Interpret, organize or categorize, and explain information.

• Develop and test new instruments or tools.

• Complement strengths, and overcome weaknesses, in both
problem and solution spaces.

RESEARCH DESIGN - APPROACH
identify data need (s)
STEP 1 - QUANTITATIVE (QUAN) DATA SET
identify data source (s)
identify data collection tool (s)
1.a DRAFT PROBLEM STATEMENT

RESEARCH DESIGN - APPROACH
develop data collection tool (s)
implement tool (s) / collect data
organize / categorize data
1.b FINE TUNE PROBLEM STATEMENT
STEP 1 - QUAN (continued)

© Bearttins / 2015 / All Rights Reserved / 4
RESEARCH DESIGN - APPROACH
project data collected onto
research problem space
STEP 2 - QUALITATIVE (QUAL) DATA SET
organize research solution space
2.b DRAFT HYPOTHESIS
2.a DRAFT THE PROBLEM SPACE

© Bearttins / 2015 / All Rights Reserved / 5
RESEARCH DESIGN - APPROACH
STEP 3 - ITERATION (QUAN + QUAL)
An Iteration may or may not be a requirement, but it can be
implemented to either one or both data sets, to improve the
clarity of the Problem Statement, the quality of the Problem
Space, and the accuracy of the Hypothesis; an iteration works
as a Leaning Tool that can eﬀectively:

• Eliminate waste, or unnecessary, data.

• Eliminate deﬁciencies in data collection tools and process.

• Mitigate deﬁciencies in the problem space, therefore reduce
deﬁciencies in the solution space.

© Bearttins / 2015 / All Rights Reserved / 6
RESEARCH DESIGN - APPROACH
STEP 4 - ALIGNMENT
ALIGN BOTH DATA SETS
WITHIN PROBLEM SPACE
TO CREATE FINAL HYPOTHESIS

© Bearttins / 2015 / All Rights Reserved / 7
TECHNICAL WRITING
• Stay clear, concise, and precise with your content.

• Present, clearly, both QUAN and QUAL data sets.

• Present, clearly, both problem and solution spaces.

• Stay impersonal, and always objective.

• Use complete sentences, and appropriate terminology.

• Always use citations, when citations are required.
STEP 5 - PRESENTING THE RESEARCH

© Bearttins / 2015 / All Rights Reserved / 8
TECHNICAL WRITING
• Must never be written in ﬁrst person; must be written in third
person and remain consistent.

• Must be written in present tense, and must remain
consistent; only use past or future tenses when necessary.

• Must incorporate both text and graphics.

• Must include both a cover page and a references page, in
addition to the following sections at minimum : Abstract,
Data Sets, Exploration, and Hypothesis.
STEP 5 - PRESENTING THE RESEARCH

This document describes ProtOLAP, a methodology for rapid OLAP prototyping when source data is not initially available. ProtOLAP enables designers to create a conceptual schema based on user requirements, which is then automatically translated into a logical schema and prototype. Users manually input sample data and validate the prototype using simple pivot tables. If validated, source data is collected, ETL is designed, and the prototype is finalized. ProtOLAP allows for agile design approaches even when source data availability is delayed, by facilitating early user validation through sample data exploration.

Multi-faceted Classification of Big Data Use Cases and Proposed Architecture ...Geoffrey Fox

Keynote at Sixth International Workshop on Cloud Data Management CloudDB 2014 Chicago March 31 2014. Abstract: We introduce the NIST collection of 51 use cases and describe their scope over industry, government and research areas. We look at their structure from several points of view or facets covering problem architecture, analytics kernels, micro-system usage such as flops/bytes, application class (GIS, expectation maximization) and very importantly data source. We then propose that in many cases it is wise to combine the well known commodity best practice (often Apache) Big Data Stack (with ~120 software subsystems) with high performance computing technologies. We describe this and give early results based on clustering running with different paradigms. We identify key layers where HPC Apache integration is particularly important: File systems, ��Cluster resource management, File and object data management, ��Inter process and thread communication, Analytics libraries, Workflow and Monitoring.

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.
