Integrity Constraint Management for Design Object Versions in a Concurrent Engineering Design Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concurrent Engineering (CE) is a product development approach which requires collaborative multidisciplinary team environment with efective communication. Due to the evolutionary nature of the engineering design process it is necessary to provide support for version management. The version model should be provided with an integrity checking mechanism to assure the consistency of object versions with the design constraints. Managing integrity Constraints is complex due to their evolving nature and raises number of issues that need to be dealt with. In this paper we present a conceptual framework for providing an integrity mechanism for object versions. The framework is based on the concept of the Constraint Version Object (CVO).

Meta-Model of Versions in Object-Relational Database to Support Software Engineering Management Environment
An efficient and qualitative work using environments to software engineering management depend of structure, control and adequate use of the resources available to design and development. Between this resources is the versions manipulation of (sub)projects and component created in the engineering phases. Currently, the majority of the software engineering environments supports the versions mani...
متن کاملManagement of Evolving Constraints in a Computerised Engineering Design Environment
Engineering design process has an evolutionary and iterative nature as design artifacts develop through series of changes before the final solution is achieved. Design is performed based on design requirements which are mainly specified as restrictions on the properties of the design artifact, and are considered to be design constraints. A common problem encountered during the design process is...

Our effort is to construct a Knowledge Aided Design (KAD) system, which aims at supporting concurrent engineering design and improving cooperation and coordination among design engineers. The KAD system centers on a knowledge network that stores design knowledge and provides services for the management of shared design, and a WWW user interface for knowledge access and acquisition. The knowledg...

The architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) industry is highly fragmented, both vertically (between project phases, e.g., planning, design, and construction) and horizontally (between specialists for the various disciplines at a given project phase, e.g., design). We need software that detects, analyzes, and manages changes efficiently during concurrent distributed design processes. In the ...

Ultrasonic machining (USM) is a mechanical material removal process used to erode holes and cavities in hard or brittle work pieces by using shaped tools, high-frequency and an abrasive slurry. This paper addresses the concept and development of an expert system (ES) for hard and brittle material, such as glass, quartz, diamond, carbides, semi conducting materials, ceramic and graphite which ca...
