Managing Dependencies in the Product Development Process with Semantic Technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Managing the increasing complexity in product development requires describing and analyzing the dependencies within and between multiple domains, such as the customers’ requirements or the product components. The Design Structure Matrix (DSM) and the Domain Mapping Matrix (DMM) approach provide well-established methods and tools to address this challenge (e.g. [1, 2]). We claim that Semantic Technologies can facilitate and enhance analysis in the scope of classic DSM/DMM approaches. Semantic technologies are a solution to represent complex domains in a formal manner and are a promising approach to handle complexity within businesses. In the paper, we will show how ontologies can be used for describing and analyzing dependencies in a multi-domain setting and discuss how this approach differs from DSM/DMM approaches and how to use them together. A use case from the automotive industry with focus on the product development process illustrates our approach to using semantic technologies for dependency management.

متن کاملThe Symbiosis of Human and Semantic Technology Through the Lens of Actor-Network Theory
Background: Semantic technologies (STs) have made machine reasoning possible by providing intelligent data management methods. This capability has created new forms of interaction between humans and STs, which is called "semantic interaction." The increasing spread of this form of interaction in daily life reveals the need to identify the factors affecting it and introduce the requirements of...
