Integrated Product Testing and Evaluation

Radiation Testing and Evaluation Issues for Modern Integrated Circuits

Changes in modern integrated circuit (IC) technologies have modified the way we approach and conduct radiation tolerance and testing of electronics. These changes include scaling of geometries, new materials, new packaging technologies, and overall speed and device complexity challenges. In this short course section, we will identify and discuss these issues as they impact radiation testing, mo...

Characterization of Integrated Process and Product Management

Integration of concurrently acting humans and systems is a great challenge which is characterized by the great diversity of involved actors, activities, and artifacts. Based on the process modeling idea , several integration approaches follow a process-oriented and model-based integration strategy. In this paper, we focus on the application of this model-based integration approach to engineerin...

Achieving Integrated Process and Product Safety Arguments

Process-based certification standards such as IEC 61508 and DO178B are often criticised for being highly prescriptive and impeding the adoption of new and novel methods and techniques. Rather than arguing safety based on compliance with a prescribed and fixed process, product-based certification standards require the submission of a well structured and reasoned safety case. Ideally, the safety ...

Integrated Product and Process Data Management

One of the most significant impacts on product development in recent years has been made by the application of data management techniques, which are known as product data management, engineering data management, engineering documentation management, and integrated product data management. The initial objective of applying these techniques was to provide methods for the storage and retrieval of ...
