Digital production engineering is a complex procedure, since distributed engineering teams, using heterogeneous IT tools, should be able to collaborate in order to design and implement a production system. This work presents the concept and its implementation of a workflow system for collaborative computer-aided production engineering. The workflow system supports the execution of production en...

h 0 A modern day vehicle might be seen as a complex system conainingmillions of lines of code running onmultiple microcontrollers reating a heterogeneous, deeply coupled networking system. Nowaays trends like V2X (Vehicle to Vehicle, Vehicle to Infrastructure, Veicle to Pedestrian), electric vehicles or self-driving cars are all based n software and electronics. These new features require new e...

Metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) are high-strength and light-weight materials with great potential in automotive, aerospace, and many other industries. A uniform distribution of nanoparticles in the metal matrix is critical for achieving high quality MMNCs; hence non-uniformity of the particle distribution in MMNCs needs to be detected for quality improvement. For this purpose, this paper in...

Because of its ability to address software complexity and productivity challenges, Model-Based Design with production code generation has been extensively used throughout the automotive software engineering community. More recently, engineers have begun to focus on compliance with external standards such as IEC 61508 and the use of Model-Based Design. For in-vehicle applications, the standard a...
