[ProPro 2.0] - Product-oriented process management - Computer-aided modeling as well as graph-based analysis and visualization of the matrix-based product description

在“面向产品的过程管理”研究项目的第一阶段，提出了一个面向特性的产品开发过程模型。这将引导开发人员有目的地完成开发过程，并支持产品成熟度的计算和迭代的预防性避免。由于产品在使用过程中的行为对客户至关重要，因此程序模型侧重于产品特性和属性以及产品行为。该项目的结果清楚地表明，不同产品元素（例如属性，特性，行为）之间的关系可以通过与开发过程并行的基于矩阵的产品描述进行建模和分析。后续项目的总体目标是开发计算机辅助建模方法和信息技术工具，以及根据矩阵式产品说明对产品要素进行图形分析和可视化。这一主要目标又细分为以下两个次级目标。基于矩阵的产品描述的一个主要问题是非常耗时的手动建模。因此，拟议的后续项目的第一个目标是制定一种方法，以计算机辅助获取相关数据和信息，用于对基于矩阵的产品说明进行（部分）自动建模。为此目的，必须对有关的信息技术系统（例如CAD系统）进行分析，以了解包含产品要素的所有文件和文件，并必须进行成本效益分析。在此基础上，通过自动获取几何特征（例如，从CAD模型），以矩阵为基础的产品说明的计算机辅助建模的概念必须开发。其结果是对基于矩阵的产品说明以及所有相关产品要素及其关系进行高效和高质量建模的基础。第二个目标，这是基于第一个，是（进一步）发展的计算机辅助分析和可视化方法的矩阵为基础的产品描述。因此，必须识别和（进一步）开发来自图论的各种概念和算法，以便为产品开发人员提供有用的基于图的分析和可视化选项。这意味着所有产品元素及其关系都可以通过计算机辅助工具和算法进行分析和可视化，以实现有效的迭代和成熟度管理。最后，计算机辅助建模，分析和可视化的矩阵为基础的产品说明将通过使用演示验证。

A procedure model for property-oriented product development has been developed in the first phase of the proposed research project "Product-oriented process management". This leads developers purposefully through the development process and supports regarding the calculation of the degree of product maturity and the preventive avoidance of iterations. As the product behaviour during its usage is crucial for customers, the procedure model focuses on product characteristics and properties as well as on the product behaviour. The results of the project make clear, that the relations between different product elements (e.g. properties, characteristics, behaviour) can be modelled and analysed very efficiently by a matrix-based product description in parallel to the development process. The overall objective of the follow-up project is the development of methods and IT tools for computer-aided modelling as well as graph-based analysis and visualization of product elements from the matrix-based product description. This main objective is subdivided into in the following two sub goals. A major problem of the matrix-based product description is their very time-consuming manual modelling. Therefore, the first goal of the proposed follow-up project is the development of a methodology for the computer-aided acquisition of the relevant data and information for a (partially) automated modelling of the matrix-based product description. For this purpose, the relevant IT systems (e.g. CAD system) have to be analysed with respect to all files and documents, which contain the product elements, and have to be evaluated with a cost-benefit analysis. Based on this, a concept for the computer-aided modelling through an automated acquisition of geometrical characteristics (e.g. from CAD models) for the matrix-based product description has to be developed. The result is the basis for an efficient and high-quality modelling of the matrix-based product description with all relevant product elements and their relations. The second goal, which is based on the first one, is the (further) development of computer-aided analysis and visualization methods for the matrix-based product description. Therefore, various concepts and algorithms from graph theory have to be identified and (further) developed to provide useful graph-based analysis and visualization options for product developers. This means that all product elements and their relations can be analysed and visualized through computer-aided tools and algorithms for efficient iteration and maturity management. Finally, the computer-aided modelling, analysis and visualization of the matrix-based product description will be validated by using a demonstrator.
