Producing reusable engineered systems through ontology: implementing an information sciences approach to architecture-driven, model-based, concurrent engineering

摘要: The engineering community faces multiple challenges as it moves toward a future that will consist of virtual reality, model-based enterprises, and heavy reliance on simulation for requirements development, design, manufacturing, assembly, training products. focus activities (e.g. systems engineering, manufacturing) is seen way to better reuse knowledge, ensure higher quality, reduce costs through design testing. However, the combination discipline-focused decomposition, functional physical progression, proprietary data formats, poor communication between disciplines due different language contexts leads longer development times, increased rework, failure in product realization. Raytheon has been researching aspects this future, targeted at shortening lifecycle by an order magnitude. One such recent Raytheon-funded study indicated potentially more complete approach might b...
