A Resource Capability Model to Support Product Family Analysis

Knowledge Discovery to Support Product Family Design

Abstract Sharing and reusing product design knowledge can help reduce cost and lead time when developing new products and facilitate product family design. Knowledge associated with product design can be represented by combining constraints, functions, rules, and facts. An appropriate representation scheme for products and their design is important to share and reuse the knowledge effectively. ...

A methodology for knowledge discovery to support product family design

Graphical Analysis of Capability of a Process Producing a Product Family

Statistical techniques are effective and powerful means of quantifying the variability of processes, analyzing this variability with reference to product requirements, and eliminating this variability in product manufacturing. Many process capability indices have been effectively and widely used to determine whether the quality of a process meets preset targets. However, conventional process ca...

Capability Analysis of Cloud Resource Orchestration Frameworks

Since the inception of cloud computing in mid 2000, academic groups and industry vendors have developed a number of Cloud Resource Orchestration Frameworks (CROFs) for simplifying the application management. The CROF aids software engineers, scientists, and infrastructure administrators to migrate and manage their in-house applications to cloud environments. Despite the higher level of technica...

Extending the product family approach to support safe reuse

Upcoming spacecraft will reuse software components to the extent that some systems will form product families of similar or identical units e g a eet of spaceborne telescopes Missions such as these must be demonstrably safe but the consequences of broad reuse are hard to evaluate from a software safety perspective This paper reports experience specifying an interferometer telescope subsystem as...
