Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Yunsu Lee, Minchul Lee, Yun Peng, Nenad Ivezic
Currently, software and hardware are being virtualized and offered as services on the internet. Companies have an opportunity to improve their workflow by composing these services that best suitable their requirements from both quality and cost objectives

Platform-Independent Debugging of Physical Interaction and Signal Flow Models

September 16, 2019
Author(s)
Mehdi Dadfarnia, Raphael Barbau
Systems engineering tools are used to organize development activities of a wide variety ofen gineers, many of which develop their own discipline-specific simulation models. To increase the efficiency of this process, systems modeling tools have been

Securing, Authenticating, and Visualizing Data-Links for Manufacturing Enterprises

August 26, 2019
Author(s)
William Z. Bernstein, Sylvere Krima, Laetitia Monnier, Mehdi Shahid
We introduce a prototype implementation of the Securing and Authenticating Data-Links (SADL) Interface, which interacts with a manufacturing handle registry to facilitate traceability of digital resources for engineering projects. This paper outlines the

June 11, 2019
Author(s)
KC Morris, Yan Lu, Simon P. Frechette
The manufacturing systems of the future will be even more heavily dependent on the data than they are today. More and more data and information are being collected and communicated throughout product development lifecycles and across manufacturing value

Incorporating unit manufacturing process models into life cycle assessment workflows

May 5, 2019
Author(s)
William Z. Bernstein, Cesar D. Tamayo, David Lechevalier, Michael Brundage
Life cycle assessment (LCA) carries significant uncertainties and imprecision due to a number of factors, including the framework's linearity assumptions and the wide use of aggregate unit processes in practice. The goal of this work is to exploit the unit
