Integration in today’s heterogeneous PLM environments is a key factor in all development phases. This paper describes a methodical approach to integrating requirements modeling into a PLM environment. The specific focus of integration aspects is on project planning of complex mechatronic products with recurrent character based on requirements specification documents. Function and process orientation serves as a basis for the integration. It is discussed how development projects teams can benefit by generating project plans including resource estimations and predefined interfaces to bordering disciplines along the development process. With the help of semantic parsing methods of natural language requirements and through a generic classification system a requirement based product and process model is generated. This model is then taken as the basis for deriving product and process related information. Through domain specific ontology’s generic project and resource plans are generated with the help of the proposed methodology.

Abstract Background Over the last thirty years, there has been exponential growth in the number and scale of national cardiovascular disease registries. We aimed to provide a comprehensive outline of contemporary national cardiac registries across all subspecialties. Methods We performed a systematic literature review by searching OvidMedline in August 2019 to identify registries relating to six pre-specified domains (Table). For inclusion, registries had to be national in nature, actively collecting data, and publishing either peer-reviewed publications or online reports. Results A total of 24,076 records were identified from six domain-specific Medline searches; 24,057 abstracts were screened with 19,435 non-relevant records excluded; 4,624 full texts were screened with 4,473 non-relevant texts excluded; and 151 registries met inclusion criteria representing 51 countries. Of these, 15 related to cardiac surgery, 27 to arrhythmia (17 device, 5 ablation, 7 atrial fibrillation), 21 to congenital heart disease (14 general, 2 interventional, 4 surgical, and 1 disease specific), 43 to coronary disease or percutaneous coronary intervention (22 PCI, 21 CAD), 27 to heart failure (13 heart failure, 5 transplant, 2 mechanical support, 7 disease specific), and 18 related to structural intervention (3 any, 13 transcatheter aortic valve replacement, 2 mitral intervention). Nine national registries (USA, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, UK, Portugal, Norway, Taiwan, and Singapore) covered multiple domains. Quality scoring using the Monash University Clinical Quality Registry Grading System (a composite score of recruitment, and data completeness, definitions, reliability and validation), demonstrated marked heterogeneity in quality between registries. Conclusions Cardiac registries have seen rapid growth, however the use and quality among various subspecialties differs markedly across world regions. Given the multiple benefits, clinicians, funders and health bureaucrats should be encouraged to focus on the range, quality and uptake of national registries.

AbstractBackgroundThe increasing availability of multi omics data is leading to continually revise estimates of existing biodiversity data. In particular, the molecular data enable to characterize novel species yet unknown and to increase the information linked to those already observed with new genomic data. For this reason, the management and visualization of existing molecular data, and their related metadata, through the implementation of easy to use IT tools have become a key point for the development of future research. The more users are able to access biodiversity related information, the greater the ability of the scientific community to expand the knowledge in this area.ResultsIn our research we have focused on the development of ExTaxsI (Exploring Taxonomies Information), an IT tool able to retrieve biodiversity data stored in NCBI databases and provide a simple and explorable visualization. Through the three case studies presented here, we have shown how an efficient organization of the data already present can lead to obtaining new information that is fundamental as a starting point for new research. Our approach was also able to highlight the limits in the distribution data availability, a key factor to consider in the experimental design phase of broad spectrum studies, such as metagenomics.ConclusionsExTaxI can easily produce explorable visualization of molecular data and its metadata, with the aim to help researchers to improve experimental designs and highlight the main gaps in the coverage of available data.

The successful application of Information Technologies (IT) in an organization depends on the business processes used for managing such technologies. It is widely recognized that the use of the Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice for organizing these technologies into a framework is a key factor for achieving a better IT - business alignment. This article presents a business process model for the IT Management that can be used in medium and large organizations as a framework for modelling and analysing their IT management processes. The main difference between the described model and others found in the literature is that our model places EA concept at the centre of the organization of IT Management activities. It provides a better definition, organization and comprehension of the essential and support IT management activities. The described model is being used in several organizations as a referential framework to improve their current IT Management processes.

The Creation

The purpose of research. The goal of this study is to analyze different domestic software packages intended for modeling of business processes involving queues and time parameters. The main analysis criteria are: the possibility of graphical development or conversion of the business process block diagram to the model; automatic generation of simulation model; quick and convenient construction of domain-specific application; the variety of result analysis tools. The relevance of the problems to choose the optimal modeling tool is determined by the need to use only domestic software for business process investigation in the military and some scientific organizations, and by the lack of information about existing software products. In this paper, the subject of study is the Russian simulation modeling environment GPSS Studio.Materials and methods. In this article, the analysis of the possibility of effective usage of GPSS Studio environment during business processes analysis and synthesis is performed. The study was performed on the available examples of different applications of this tool, and by the creation of the model analyzing business processes that are typical for any HR department.Results. Taking into account the performed analysis of functionality and practical applications of the GPSS Studio environment, the good prospects of its application for modeling of business processes involving queues and time parameters are shown. The further system improvements intended for effective business process modeling are proposed.Conclusion. As a result of the performed study, we can do the following conclusions and recommendations:– The GPSS Studio graphical editor can be successfully used for the graphical description of the business processes when it is required to analyze: queues, the load of resources, and the time characteristics of the processing,– The simulation model is automatically generated from the graphical description. The produced model can be finally debugged and verified with the GPSS Studio,– The standalone simulation application working in terms of the subject domain can be built from the simulation model using the simulation environment,– Using this application, it is possible to perform complex business process simulation modeling by means of varying system parameters and performing of singular experiments, a series of dedicated experiments, and optimizing experiments,– Since the GPSS Studio concepts include the possibility to create domain-specific libraries of standard blocks, it is possible to create a library of standard elements similar to IDEF, BPMN, DFD block charts to facilitate faster description and modeling of business processes. After the creation of such a library, there would be no need to manually write GPSS code, since the business process model could be built by a simple connection of standard blocks.

Integration Rules

Software platforms for e-government transactions may differ in developed functionalities, languages and technologies, hardware platforms, and operating systems that support them. Those differences can be found among public organizations that share common processes, services, and regulations. This scenario hinders interoperability between these organizations. Hence, to find a technique for integrating these platforms becomes a necessity. In this chapter, a rule-based domain-specific modeling environment for public services and process integration is suggested, which consists of common identified public service elements and a set of process integration rules. This approach provides the needed integration or interoperability pursued in this domain. Furthermore a service and process model is proposed to formalize the information needed for integration of both. A set of integration rules is also presented as part of the modeling environment. This set of integration rules completes the proposed model to meet the business requirements of this domain.

AbstractWe propose to combine Collaborative User Experience Design (CUXD) projects with the integrated product and process modelling theory CPM/PDD to formalise the CUXD process model. CPM/PDD is discussed as a Design Theory and Methodology (DTM) to describe a product as well as the product development process based on a clear distinction of characteristics and properties. CUXD is presented as a cross-disciplinary, human-centred development model. It focuses on team collaboration, relates to concepts of Design Thinking, Agile Development as well as Lean UX and it highlights user experience metrics.

Rule Based Approach

A method has been developed and implemented that assigns syntactic roles to commas. Text that has been tagged using a part-of-speech tagger serves as the input to the system. A set of Finite State Automata first assigns temporary syntactic roles to each comma in the sentence. A greedy learning algorithm is then used to determine the final syntactic roles of the commas. The system requires no training and is not domain specific. The performance of the system on numerous corpora is given and compared against a rule-based approach.

Failure Reporting

Although failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system (FRACAS) has two management perspectives, its tasks and related information, the previous researches and applications mainly have focused on the data management. This study is to develop a process-oriented FRACAS which supports the operation of the failure-related activities. The development procedures are (1) to define the reporting and analysis tasks, (2) to define the information to be used at each task, and (3) to design a computerized business process model and set the attributes such as durations, rules, and document types. This computerized FRACAS process can be activated in a business process management system (BPMS) which employs the enactment functions, deliver tasks to the proper workers, provide the necessary information, and alarm the abnormal status of the tasks (delay, incorrect delivery, cancellation). Through implementing the prototype system, improvements are found for automation of the tasks, prevention of disoperation, and real-time activity monitoring.

Lifecycle Management

Difficulty in locating existing information in order to reuse it constitutes a major challenge to productivity. The use of PLM systems (Product Lifecycle Management) aims in particular to reduce the time and cost of developing a product by facilitating the re-use of existing parts or related information (process plans, tools, FEM, estimates, etc.). When information is alphanumerical, using search engines, such as those made popular on the internet, is efficient. However, a significant portion of information used in engineering rests within CAD (Computer Aided Design) models, making such search tools irrelevant. To aid in the re-use of information, two problems must be resolved: it is first necessary to be able to locate similar parts in the electronic database of the company, and then be able to systematically identify their differences. This article presents some of the results from our work on part, product and process data mining (P3DM). It focuses on tools developed to search similar 3D geometric models and to identify their differences. The PartFinder application locates similar parts by comparing signatures extracted from their solid representations. The 3DComparator aims to identify the differences in terms of Form and Fit between the identified parts. In both cases, the recommended approach is independent of the CAD system, and can also deal with parts represented by IGES or STEP files. Moreover, the approach does not require that the parts occupy the same position and have the same orientation in space. These two points, CAD and position independence, are the main benefits of our approach compared to other existing applications. Lastly, if the comparison takes place between two evolutions of the same geometrical representation of a part, a third tool allows the comparison of the specification trees. The SpecComparator is also presented briefly. An example based on industrial data illustrates the benefit that could be generated.
