Abstract

The capability to shorten the process of engineering technical systems, from the mission to build the system to the final commissioning of the system, has become a critical factor for company success. This engineering process has become a time and money consuming part of the overall life cycle of a technical system. Common approaches for tackling this problem are the improvement of functions of isolated tools and the improvement/provision of the interoperability between tools. However, there is only little information on needs and preferences of domain experts. In this paper we report on a questionnaire-based survey to elicit the needs and preferences of domain experts. We analyze the answers of 88 domain experts from different disciplines with a variety of backgrounds on the importance of tool functionalities during functional engineering and discuss improvement aspects of three major functionalities rated as most important: version management, data exchange, and consistency checking.

根据技术系统工程过程中的功能工程阶段分析软件工具的需求

缩短工程技术系统从任务构建到系统最终调试的过程的能力已成为公司成功的关键因素。这一工程过程已经成为技术系统整个生命周期中耗费时间和金钱的一部分。解决这个问题的常用方法是改进孤立工具的功能和改进/提供工具之间的互操作性。然而，关于领域专家的需求和偏好的信息很少。在本文中，我们报告了一项基于问卷的调查，以引出领域专家的需求和偏好。我们分析了来自不同学科的88位领域专家对功能工程中工具功能重要性的回答，并讨论了被评为最重要的三个主要功能的改进方面:版本管理、数据交换和一致性检查。
