A Modeling Environment to Support Rapid Reconfiguration of Manufacturing Systems

9400572卡马思这项研究建立在以前工作的基础上，这项工作涉及建立一个通用的、持久的、面向对象的“基于系统的模型”，该模型始终保持在准确和详细的系统表示的当前状态。此基本模型特定于组织，并支持使用多个分析和优化工具跨多个问题域进行建模。这个项目将导致一个新的、全面的、有凝聚力的辅助制造系统建模环境的概念化和开发。在过去，这一过程在很大程度上依赖于“切割并尝试”的“蛮力”方式。基于方法论、直觉和判断的互不相交的混合。全面的建模环境很好地允许在整个系统分析和评估的背景下随时考虑和评估对系统的更改。

9400572 Kamath The research builds upon previous work which involves the construction of a generic, persistent object oriented "based model" of a system that is maintained in a current state of accurate and detailed system representation at all times. This base model is specific to an organization, and supports modeling across several problem domains using multiple analysis and optimization tools. This project will lead to the conceptualization and development of a new, comprehensive, and cohesive modeling environment for aiding manufacturing systems. In the past, this process has depended largely upon a "brute force" approach of "cutting and trying". based upon as disjoint mixture of methodologies, intuition, and judgement. The comprehensive modeling environment well permit changes to the system to be considered at any time and evaluated within the context of a total system analysis and evaluation.
