Recent developments in computer graphics software and hardware have made it possible to write computer graphics programs that can be used to solve automotive paint engineering problems. New surface reflection models have been created for simulating the appearance of automotive paint, and the hardware available today on graphics cards allows these reflection models to be evaluated in real-time. ...

new product development (npd) is described in the literature as the transformation of a market opportunity into a product available for sale. in the automotive industry, within the context of iso/ts16949:2002 (the automotive quality management system international standard),  these related to the product realization process (prp) which consists of three main phases such as planning, implementat...

Several applications to automotive engineering of the advanced computational inverse techniques have been reported in this paper. The computational inverse techniques, such as gradient based methods with genetic algorithms, intergeneration projection genetic algorithms, progressive neural networks, reduced-base methods, etc. are firstly introduced. After that the applications to automotive engi...

In the last years, automotive systems evolved to be more and more software-intensive systems. As a result, considerable attention has been paid to establish an efficient software development process of such systems, where reliability is an important criterion. Hence, model-driven development (MDD), software engineering and requirements engineering (amongst others) found their way into the syste...

In der Fahrzeugentwicklung werden diverse Tools, Daten und Informationen verwendet und generiert. Auch in der Produktion (Smart Factory) werden immer größere Datenmengen verarbeitet. Um die anfallenden Daten und Informationen effizient zur Verfügung zu stellen, hat sich das Forschungsprojekt FIND zum Ziel gesetzt, einen flexiblen und effizienten Zugriff auf diese heterogenen Daten und Informati...
