Validating Process Models in Systems Engineering Environments

چکیده
Systems engineering environments usually involve multi-disciplinary engineering domains, such as mechanical, electrical, and software engineering, to cooperate and reach the common goals, e.g., to produce good quality products in time. Validation of systems engineering processes is challenging, because typically there are large numbers of possible combinations of heterogeneous sub-processes to test. In this paper, we propose a simulation-based approach to validate systems engineering processes. Simulation-based process validation (SbPV) aims at improving the efficiency of process validation in the real world. We collect engineering process data from the simulation of the systems engineering environments and analyze the conformance with the designed process model. As a real-world use case, we describe a production automation system and use a prototype implementation of the proposed SbPV approach to link the real engineering process information with the designed process model. Major result was the SbPV approach improved the efficiency of validating systems engineering processes and can complement testing of the sub-processes.

In this paper, absorbing Markov chain models are developed to determine the optimum process mean levels for both a single-stage and a serial two-stage production system in which items are inspected for conformity with their specification limits. When the value of the quality characteristic of an item falls below a lower limit, the item is scrapped. If it falls above an upper limit, the item is ...

متن کاملGeostatistical simulation of dyke systems in Sungun porphyry copper deposit, Iran
Post-mineralization activities may cause difficulties in the process of ore modeling in porphyry deposits. Sungun, NW Iran, is one of the porphyry copper deposits, in which dyke intrusions have made ore modeling more complicated than expected. Among different kinds of dykes, two types were chosen and the consequent geostatistical analyses were applied on. In this study, simple directional vario...
