ScienceDirect 24 th CIRP Design Conference Communication in multidisciplinary systems architecting

چکیده
Systems architecting is multidisciplinary by nature. It is interesting to note that the methods and tools that are developed and presented in literature are mostly based on one or a very limited number of formalisms. This means that an often large part of the stakeholders involved in the architecting process are hindered in the understanding of, and contributing to the architecture. The paper investigates the architecting process and complexity in combination with knowledge and knowledge creation. Communication is identified as essential. It thus follows that tools that base on one formalism limit this communication in a multidisciplinary setting. Based on experiences from architects, literature and the author, ingredients for successful multidisciplinary architecting are listed, and directions for future research in complex systems architecting are given, based on these ingredients.

System design of a litter collecting robot
Litter in public places is a serious problem. Not only because of the obvious dirtiness, but also because litter attracts more litter and can cause the winding down of an area leading to large negative financial and social consequences. To avoid this, public areas have been kept clean by humans. In this paper, we apply systems architecting and engineering techniques and among others a tool from...
متن کاملA Framework for Space Systems Architecture under Stakeholder Objectives Ambiguity
Matching high ambitions with scarce resources is one of the primary challenges of aerospace and other industries concerned with the development of unprecedented infrastructures, on par with the technical challenges associated with developing new technology. Stakeholder objectives are often unclear due to highly exploratory business cases. Further ambiguity emerges from disagreement between stak...

One of the most significant directions in the development of computer science and information and communication technologies is represented by Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) which are systems of collaborating computational entities which are in intensive connection with the surrounding physical world and its on-going processes, providing and using, at the same time, data-accessing and data-proce...
متن کاملTRIZ for systems architecting
TRIZ has gained interest over the past decades, as among others expressed by this conference. It is widely used and acknowledged for dealing with technical issues on component level. However, decisions on system level have a much greater impact than those on component level. Thus it is worthwhile to investigate applying TRIZ early in the design process. The article explores the benefits of and ...
متن کاملA Virtual Factory Data Model as a support tool for the simulation of manufacturing systems
The design of a manufacturing systems is a complex and critical activity entailing decisions with an impact on a long time horizon and a major commitment of financial resources. Indeed, the modelling, simulation and evaluation of manufacturing systems are relevant activities both in the design and the operational phases of a factory. This paper grounds on the results of the Virtual Factory Fram...
