Metaheuristic Aided Software Features Assembly
نویسندگان
چکیده
One significant task addressed during software development project is to determine which features should be covered by the application that is being developed. This problem is known as the Next Release Problem (NRP) and has been solved using metaheuristic search techniques. We show how to apply these techniques by its embedding into a requirement management tool as an assistant functionality. We have called this new utility MASA (Metaheuristic Aided Software Features Assembly).

A feature-based model is proposed for assembly sequence planning automation. The fundamental assembly modeling strategy for a product is based on the mating features of its components. The objectives of this study are to integrate assembly planning of a product with its CAD model, generate a correct and practical assembly sequence and establish a software system to carry out the planning proces...
متن کاملComputer Aided Assembly Attributes Retrieval Methods for Automated Assembly Sequence Generation
Achieving an appropriate assembly sequence needs deep verification for its physical feasibility. For this purpose, industrial engineers use several assembly predicates; namely, liaison, geometric feasibility, stability and mechanical feasibility. However, testing an assembly sequence for these predicates requires huge assembly information. Extracting such assembly information from an assembled ...

Modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. Construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. In light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. Many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of proces...
متن کاملGeometric and form feature recognition tools applied to a design for assembly methodology
The paper presents geometric tools for an automated Design for Assembly (DFA) assessment system. For each component in an assembly a two step features search is performed: firstly (using the minimal bounding box) mass, dimensions and symmetries are identified allowing the part to be classified, according to DFA convention, as either rotational or prismatic; secondly form features are extracted ...
