This contribution focuses on the behavioral modeling of the systems in the system engineering. The system engineering process is described and overview of the system modeling language (SysML) is presented. The SysML basic principles and diagrams are discussed. Practical part of the paper discusses behavioral modeling process, which is illustrated by the set of the example models. Key-Words: Sys...

In this note we deene a layering intended to structure the many concepts which arise in the development of an Engineering Information System. The industrial beneets to be gained by such a layering are enumerated. An Engineering Information System (EIS) is a collection of facilities and services that provide support for the design, testing, manufacture, and maintenance of engineering artifacts, ...

There is a wide array of public transportation in Singapore. Travelling from one part of Singapore to another is a breeze thanks to a highly penetrative public transport system. The three main modes of public transport in Singapore are the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), buses and taxis. Buses are, by far, the most common form of public transportation in Singapore, followed by the MRT and taxis respe...

The evolution of the Internet offers the opportunity to redesign how basic communication services are provided. All services, including (multimedia) telephony, radio and television, can be based on a common, packet-switched, connectionless infrastructure of the Internet. Intelligence is placed into end systems for scalability and controllability. This paper discusses the protocols and technolog...

A new type of computer-aided engineering environment is envisioned which will improve the productivity of manufacturing/industrial engineers. This environment would be used by engineers to design and implement future manufacturing systems and subsystems. This paper describes work which is currently underway at the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on computer-a...

S oftware systems have become larger and more complex than ever. We can attribute some of this growth to advances in hardware performance—advances that have reduced the need to limit a software sys-tem's size and complexity as a primary design goal. Microsoft Word is a classic example: A product that would fit on a 360-Kbyte diskette 20 years ago now requires a 600-Mbyte CD. But there are other...

We introduce a new method for screening inputs in mathematical or computational models with large numbers of inputs. The method proposed here represents an improvement over the best available practice for this setting when dealing with models having strong interaction effects. When the sample size is sufficiently high the same design can also be used to obtain accurate quantitative estimates of...
