Design of a Flexible, Integrated Testing System for STEP and OMG Standards

September 1, 2000
Author(s)
KC Morris, David Flater
New software standards supporting integration of manufacturing and engineering systems are emerging at a rapid pace. These standards are based on common method s, which can be exploited in developing tests for systems supporting the standards. This paper

Improving PDM Testability Through Standards Harmonization

February 1, 2000
Author(s)
Katherine C. Morris
Product Data Management (PDM) is quickly becoming a mainstay technology supporting product development. Several standards are emerging to support interoperability among PDM systems and between PDM systems and their clients. These standards serve multiple

Standards-Based Software Testing in a Net-Centric World

September 1, 1999
Author(s)
KC Morris, David Flater
Automation for product development and manufacturing is changing to take advantage of the recent expansion of the Internet and the computing technologies supporting it. These processes are becoming more software independent, and the software used is

Testing of Interaction-driven Manufacturing Systems

December 2, 1998
Author(s)
Katherine C. Morris, David W. Flater, Donald E. Libes, Albert W. Jones
As automation of manufacturing processes becomes more widespread, manufacturing systems are becoming more and more software dependent. At the same time, the software used is becoming more and more modularized allowing for the creation of customized systems

Lessons Learned Developing Protocols for the Industrial Virtual Enterprise

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
Martin Hardwick, KC Morris, D L. Spooner, T Rando, Peter O. Denno
The National Industrial Infrastructure Protocols (NIIIP) Consortium formed in 1994 to develop protocols to allow for manufacturers and their suppliers to develop products across the internet. The protocols selected and developed by the NIIIP Consortium

Position Paper for Workshop on Application Integration Architectures

January 1, 1996
Author(s)
Katherine C. Morris
This paper summarizes - the work that is currently being done within ISO 10303 (a.k.a. STEP -- ISO/TC184/SC4) -- the needs for data access and sharing in a manufacturing and engineering environment, and -- the role of the STEP Standard Data Access

Sharing Manufacturing Information between Heterogeneous Corporations

January 1, 1996
Author(s)
KC Morris, Martin Hardwick, D L. Spooner, T Rando
Recent advances in communications technology are making it possible for manufacturing corporations to transmit data to each other in fractions of a second. However, if the corporations use different tools, understanding of the data may be delayed for weeks

Computing Standards Adopted by the NIIIP

January 1, 1995
Author(s)
Katherine C. Morris
The National Industrial Information Infrastructure Protocols (NIIIP) rely heavily on existing, emerging, and defacto standards; however, the protocols also push the limits of some of these standards. In developing the protocols the NIIIP consortium will

Data Probe: A Tool for EXPRESS-based Data

January 1, 1993
Author(s)
Katherine C. Morris
The problem of sharing data has many facets. The need to share data across multiple enterprises, different hardware platforms, different data storage paradigms and systems, and a variety of network architectures is growing. The emerging Standard for the

This paper summarizes: The work that is currently being done within ISO 10303 (a.k.a. STEP-ISO/TC184/SC4) The needs for data access and sharing in manufacturing and engineering environment, and the role of the STEP Standard Data Access Interface for

Validating STEP Application Models at the National PDES Testbed

January 1, 1993
Author(s)
KC Morris, Mary Mitchell, Allison Barnard Feeney
The problem of sharing data has many facets. The need to share data across multiple enterprises, different hardware platforms, different data storage paradigms and systems, and a variety of network architectures is growing. The emerging Standard for the

The Use of Application Model Validation in Testing a Proposed Standard

May 1, 1992
Author(s)
Mary Mitchell, KC Morris
An Application Protocol (AP) is a specification of data sharing requirements for a particular application area. The STandard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP) provides an integrated collection of product definitions which allow for the

Architecture for the Validation Testing System Software

January 1, 1992
Author(s)
Katherine C. Morris
This document is part of the National PDES Testbed Report Series and is intended to complement the other reports of the Validation Testing System (VTS) project. Other documents describe the methodology for model validation and software requirements for

Database Management Systems in Engineering

January 1, 1992
Author(s)
KC Morris, Mary Mitchell, Christopher E. Dabrowski, Elizabeth N. Fong
Until recently, the applicability of database technology to engineering systems has been limited. Early database systems addressed large-scale data processing needs of easily automatable applications. These applications were characterized by very uniform

Validation Testing System Reusable Software Component Design

January 1, 1992
Author(s)
KC Morris, David A. Sauder, Sanford P. Ressler
The ISO STandard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP) addresses the need to share data across multiple enterprises and hardware platforms by providing information models which clearly and unambiguously describe data. The validity of these
