Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) provides an important capability for managing the complexities of system development. MBSE empowers formalism architectures supporting model-based requirement elicitation, specification, design, development, testing, fielding, etc. However, modeling languages and techniques are heterogeneous, even within same enterprise system, which leads to difficulties ...

We present HIC (Human-system Interaction Container), a general framework for the integration of advanced interaction in the software development process. We show how this framework allows to reconcile the software development methods (such MDA, MDE) with the architectural models of software design such as MVC or PAC. We illustrate our approach thanks to two different types of implementation for...

Is biologically inspired design only an analogical transfer from biology to engineering? Actually, nature does not always bring “hands-on” solutions that can be analogically applied in classic engineering. Then, what are the different operations that are involved in the bioinspiration process and what are the conditions allowing this process to produce a bioinspired design? In this paper we mod...

this paper defines how a meta heuristic search engine called p.s.o can be used to maximize the objective function of a logistic regression model, describing the relationship between the response variable (product designs' score) and a set of explanatory variables (product design factors). at the first phase the processed data, classified and categorized, by kansie engineering is used as input t...

a brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. the variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. however, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

This research is collaborative investigation with the general-purpose motor manufacturer. To review construction method in production process, we applied the parameter design method of quality engineering and tried to approach the optimization of construction method. Conventionally, press-fitting method has been adopted in process of fitting rotor core and shaft which is main component of motor...

This paper is concerned with the purpose and form of representations of strategic knowledge in design. A number of issues concerning the role of representations in design are considered. A distinction is made between representations for describing design and representations for guiding or prescribing design. Issues about the role and form of representations ‘of’ and ‘for’ design are considered ...

The natural world provides numerous cases for inspiration in engineering design. Biological organisms, phenomena, and strategies, which we refer to as biological systems, provide a rich set of analogies. These systems provide insight into sustainable and adaptable design and offer engineers billions of years of valuable experience, which can be used to inspire engineering innovation. This resea...
