Experiences and Lessons from Introducing Model-Based Analysis in Brown-Field Product Family Development

Product family development facilitates reuse across all phases of systems engineering; in case of model-based systems engineering, this reuse involves the models as well. Introducing a model-based way of working is challenging, especially for product family development. This paper describes a case of introducing a modelbased way of working in...

Semantic product modelling and configuration: Challenges and opportunities

The European Semantic Web-based Open engineering Platform, project (SWOP 2008) is concerned with business innovation when specifying products to suit end-user's requirements and objectives This paper will show how Semantic Web (SW) technology of the Word Wide Web Consortium (W3C) can be used to its fullest to model the products to be developed...

Product modeling standards for the building and construction industry: Past, present and future

For the past ten years most sectors of industry have been developing standards for the electronic sharing and exchange of product model data. While several related industries, such as automotive and shipbuilding manufacturing have been relatively successful in integrating electronic product models into their operations, the building and...

View integration in building design

The design process of a building is a process of co-operation of many different participants. Each participant has his own perception of the building and uses his own building model, Such participant specific building models are called (actor) view models. The combination of multiple view models and multiple companies involved, makes it very...
