The effectiveness evaluation index system is firstly generated based on architecture models including Capability Dependencies (CV-4), Capability to Operational Activities Mapping (CV-6), Operational Activity to Systems Traceability Matrix (SV-5b) and System Measures Matrix (SV-7) in the DoDAF, using the transformation technology QVT. Then the effectiveness calculation model, which is based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP), is semi-automatically generated based on the evaluation tool developed by the authors' team. Based on the effectiveness evaluation index system and the calculation model, the effectiveness of the system described in the architecture can be evaluated in the supporting of the corresponding data, which can be from simulation results or experts. Because the effectiveness evaluation model is constructed based on the system architecture, The proposed approach can ensure that the constructed effectiveness evaluation model including the index system and the calculation model has its source and is objective, distinguishing from experience or emotion. Besides, the proposed approach can improve the efficiency and decrease the mistakes during the process of constructing effectiveness model.","PeriodicalId":354846,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Systems Engineering Symposium (ISSE)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122771372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on the work of an interdisciplinary research collaboration, we explore, in which way interdisciplinary modeling can enrich innovation management. We show that models can be described on a general level by delineating what a model generally is in these disciplines, what types of models exist, the object which is modeled by the model and how the model can be tested. We present a use case to demonstrate how different models can be applied. Finally, we derive four fields of application, which are especially fruitful for and can benefit from interdisciplinary modeling: change management, knowledge management, inconsistency management, and user integration. Our next step will be the development of a \"designing platform\", which will provide scientific results and practical tools regarding interdisciplinary cooperation in the context of innovation cycle management of product-service-systems (PSS).","PeriodicalId":354846,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Systems Engineering Symposium (ISSE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123974997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design-To-Cost (DTC) is an effective technique for this situation. In Model-Based Design (MBD), DTC cost estimates are preferred to be generated from models as one of the parameters to optimize the design. However, most cost modeling methods focus in estimation on costs associated with new product development, and much fewer discuss the estimate of the switching costs for new products that are designed leveraging previous products. In this paper, we explore certain available tools for DTC for such purposes and discuss their advantages/disadvantages. We performed an experimental study on a building PHM (Prognostic and Health Monitoring) sensing system design example, and demonstrated an approach to achieve switching cost estimation using parametric modeling by treating part of the new product as another prior product. Finally, a multi-objective optimization is used for design selection, to achieve the best trade-off between cost and performance.","PeriodicalId":354846,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Systems Engineering Symposium (ISSE)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123985091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Michalakelis","doi":"10.1109/SYSENG.2017.8088276","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SYSENG.2017.8088276","url":null,"abstract":"SysML is a prominent standard serving model-based system design for systems-of-systems (SoS). It facilitates the description of complex system design, as a hierarchy of interacting system components, while at the same time enables the independent description of each component behaviour. However, in order for the system designer to decide whether a SoS architecture is efficient, non-functional properties, such as performance or cost, should also be taken into consideration. There are numerous efforts integrating performance properties into SysML models and their verification using stochastic or analytical methods. In this paper, we focus on the financial assessment of SysML models, estimating economic attributes of SoS architectures, such as Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and Return of Investment (ROI). Integrating different viewpoints into SysML SoS models, focusing besides structure and behaviour, also performance and economic attributes, enables the system designer to explore alternative solutions for system design, having in mind a wider perspective of the system under investigation. To this end, a profile extending SysML to serve techno-economic analysis of systems is introduced. As an example, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for cloud infrastructures, modelled as SoS is explored. TCO properties are incorporated into existing SysML cloud models, enabling the designer to compute TCO for the whole system or parts of it.","PeriodicalId":354846,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Systems Engineering Symposium (ISSE)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131101054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By analyzing the relation between the two periods, the average storage availability of whole storage period is derived.

Therefore, it is necessary that the next generations of production lines, especially the intralogistics transportation systems, are designed more adaptable and flexible. The object in this paper is a cyber-physical material flow system with flexible, autonomous and collaborative vehicles combined with centralized sensors to digitize the workspace. For this purpose, an interface was developed which allows a discrete event simulation tool to communicate with a Multi-Agent-System. Thereby, the decision-making of the agents is integrated directly into the simulation process of the discrete event simulation software. The architecture of this interface is presented as well as a test of its functionality. The architecture is implemented with the Java Agent Development Framework and Plant Simulation as the discrete event simulation tool. The result is an interface, which allows to transfer data from the simulation, in case of an event, to the agent platform. The Multi-Agent-System solves the event specific problem due to its ontology and responses it to the simulation. Therefore, it is possible to integrate the ontology implemented in the physical system as software-in-the-loop in the simulation environment. Furthermore, the possibility is given to improve the ontology iteratively based on historical production data. Different strategies of agents can be combined and improved through machine-learning algorithms by using real production data from the task specific hardware. This leads into a continuous improvement process.","PeriodicalId":354846,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Systems Engineering Symposium (ISSE)","volume":"07 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127281893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When configured correctly, an ALM system enables the capture of all data associated with the development of a software-centric avionics system from customer specifications through system-level requirements and design data to the lowest level of data including software source code and system and software test results. The comprehensive nature of the data capture and the integrated traceability facilitates quick and efficient retrieval of pertinent data when performing airworthiness audits and is significantly superior to more manual methods and methods that rely upon disparate tools and data sources. This paper will describe a data model that allows for the capture and tracing of cross-discipline data in an ALM system and will present data to exhibit improvements over the use of legacy systems and methods. Analysis at UTC Aerospace Systems has shown that a significant reduction in preparation and audit time, which includes activities such as creating a document and records catalog, completing a pre-audit review and summarizing traceability architectures before an audit; and locating documents and records, assessing traceability across disciplines, itemizing open problem reports and determining the current status of development and verification activities during an audit. A summary of these improvements is shown in Table 1. Organization of the data in the ALM system is a critical factor in achieving reduced search times and preventing rework associated with traceability and lost or missing records. A data model diagram is established to allow for simpler organization of the life cycle data to support product development and verification, which is used by all disciplines including Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Test Engineering, Software Test Engineering, and associated disciplines including Configuration Management, Project Management and Quality Assurance.","PeriodicalId":354846,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Systems Engineering Symposium (ISSE)","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124108029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper describes industrial research activities, which practically investigate the opportunities of using common MBSE approaches and applying necessary extensions for an automatic generation of shop floor MES gateway configurations. As a basis, systems engineering models for production systems, i.e., an extension to Systems Modeling Language, and standard model transformation mechanisms, i.e., MOF-Model-to- Text Transformation Language, are used.
