Harmonized Conformance Testing for Product Data Managers

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
David Flater, KC Morris
The Testability of Interaction-Driven Manufacturing Systems project seeks to enhance the design-for-testability of specifications for manufacturing software interfaces, derive a test method that is usable for interaction-driven manufacturing systems in

Modeling Technology for a Model-Intensive Enterprise

July 1, 2001
Author(s)
Michael Gruninger, David W. Flater, Peter O. Denno
The Object Management Group (OMGtm) is defining specifications supporting a modeling environment that permits models from a family of modeling languages to populate a repository. In that environment, mechanisms that give coherence to the collection of

Impact of Model-Driven Architecture

May 1, 2001
Author(s)
David W. Flater
The Object Management Group (the consortium that issues the Common Object Request Broker Architecture and Unified Modeling Language standards) is making the transition from a standards architecture in which only interface definitions are normative to one

Information Technology Measurement and Testing Activities at NIST

February 1, 2001
Author(s)
David Flater, James E. Fowler, Simon P. Frechette, Craig M. Shakarji, Michael Hogan, Shirley M. Radack, Douglas Montgomery, L Johnson, R Rosenthal, R Mccabe, R Carpenter, Lisa Carnahan, M M. Gray
Our high technology society continues to rely more and more upon sophisticated measurements, technical standards, and associated testing activities. This was true for the industrial society of the 20th century and remains true for the information society

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

Debugging Agent Interactions: A Case Study

July 1, 2000
Author(s)
David W. Flater
The Contract Net protocol is a general-purpose protocol for distributed problem solving. Many modern agent infrastructures facilitate the generation of agents supporting Contract Net. We used one such infrastructure to simulate a Contract Net-based

Specification of Interactions in Integrated Manufacturing Systems

July 1, 2000
Author(s)
David W. Flater
Systems of manufacturing software are often constructed by integrating pre-existing software components. Accurate specification of the component interactions in these systems is needed to ensure testability and maintainability. Moreover, standards for

Testing for Imperfect Integration of Legacy Software Components

July 1, 2000
Author(s)
David W. Flater
In the manufacturing domain, few new distributed systems are built ground-up; most contain wrapped legacy components. While the legacy components themselves are already well-tested, imperfect integration can introduce subtle faults that are outside the

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
