    Integrating system engineering software tools
    IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine (1998)
    Elaine Chow
    System engineering projects typically involve the use of a variety of design, analysis, simulation, and management software tools that are home-grown or commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS). Very often, these applications are hosted on dissimilar computing platforms in a network environment. An application deployed on one platform may not be easily ported to another platform, and it usually cannot be readily accessed by software on the other platform. Enhancing the inter-operation among software applications or tools will greatly increase the effectiveness of the system engineering process. The middleware technology currently being developed by the computer industry promises to provide the needed software interface for integrating tools across a heterogeneous computer network. This paper discusses the experience of applying the middleware technology to software tools used in system engineering.

    Research and application of reconfigurable software development platform based on component
    Jisuanji gongcheng yu sheji (2005)
    Xinghua Li
    The reconfigurable software development platform technique is researched. The theory of single modeling data source technique is proposed, and the reconfigurable software development platform with C/S and B/S configuration, as well as its key components are designed. The development process of application system is also analysed based on reconfigurable software development platform.

    Extensible Virtual Environment Systems Using System of Systems Engineering Approach
    Manuel M. OliveiraJ. S. Pereira
    The development of Virtual Environment (VE) systems is a challenging endeavor with a complex problem domain. The experience in the past decade has helped contribute significantly to various measures of software quality of the resulting VE systems. However, the resulting solutions remain monolithic in nature without addressing successfully the issue of system interoperability and software aging. This paper argues that the problem resides in the traditional system centric approach and that an alternative approach based on system of systems engineering is necessary. As a result, the paper presents a reference architecture based on layers, where only the core is required for deployment and all others are optional. The paper also presents an evaluation methodology to assess the validity of the resulting architecture, which was applied to the proposed core layer and involving individual sessions with 12 experts in developing VE systems.

    A Plugin-Based Software Production Line Integrated Framework
    Junxing ZhuQuan YinRui ZhuChangguo GuoHuaimin Wang
    Software production line can be created by integrated framework which can integrate software tools, software components, software services, and collaboration mechanism. It can be used as one of the important software reuse techniques. This paper provides the definitions and differentiations of software product line, software production line and plugin architecture. A platform independent model of the software production line integrated framework, that is based on the plugin architecture, is put forward. In the end, a runtime monitoring software production line is developed according to this model, to verify the correctness of the model.

    A prototype domain modeling environment for reusable software architectures
    Hassan GomaaLarry KerschbergVijayan SugumaranChristopher J. BoschI. Tavakoli
    This paper describes a prototype domain modeling environment used to demonstrate the concepts of reuse of software requirements and software architectures. The environment, which is application-domain independent, is used to support the development of domain models and to generate target system specifications from them. The prototype environment consists of an integrated set of commercial-off-the-shelf software tools and custom developed software tools. The concept of reuse is prevalent at several levels of the domain modeling method and prototype environment. The environment is domain-independent thereby supporting the specification of diverse application domain models. The domain modeling method specifies a family of systems rather than a single system; optional features characterize the variations in functional requirements supported by the family, and individual family members are specified by the features they are to support. The knowledge-based approach to target system generation provides the rules for generating target system specifications from the domain model; target system specifications, themselves, may be stored in an object repository for subsequent retrieval and reuse.< >

    An Architecture of the Technology Platform for Computer Modeling, Design, and Optimization of Intelligent Integrated Energy Systems
    2020 International Multi-Conference on Industrial Engineering and Modern Technologies (FarEastCon) (2019)
    Evgeny BarakhtenkoDmitry Sokolov
    The paper presents an architecture of the technology platform for computer modeling, design, and optimization of intelligent integrated energy systems. The platform architecture includes the following components: platform structure, composition of its systems and approaches to the interaction between these systems, basic structure of the library of software components, their interfaces and mechanisms of integration into the platform, and system of ontologies. The proposed architecture of the technology platform provides a solution to the problems of control of the intelligent integrated energy systems expansion and operation. To this end, the software implementation of methods, algorithms, and models is done as a repository of software components that are suitable for re-use. Based on the proposed architecture, we have developed a software prototype of the technology platform. The software prototype was employed to study the operating conditions and the control over them during the integration of electricity and heating systems. The calculations performed suggest that it may be feasible to employ the platform with the proposed architecture for intelligent integrated energy system studies.

    An Architecture for Multi-Agent COTS Software Integration Systems
    Guo‐Ming FangZeng‐Wei HongJim‐Min Lin
    Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software products are increasingly used as software components in large-scale systems. We had proposed an approach for distributed COTS software integration by using the concepts of multi-agent system and distributed scripting mechanism [J.M. Lin et al., (2002)]. To describe the experience in the COTS software integration and facilitate the reuse of the software integration procedure, this paper presents a multi-agent architecture for the COTS software integration systems. This architecture is of a three-layered structure and is described with the agent UML (AUML). Since the interaction and internal processing of agents is clearly described in the proposed architecture, programmers may have a guide to build a software system and implement the protocols and behaviors of agents according to layered description.

    Development of a software framework for Open Architecture ATE
    Wolfgang Fritzsche
    System control software for SOC-ATE systems must provide a broad array of capabilities. It also must be adaptable to new instrumentation in an efficient manner. Adding open architecture capability increases the software complexity even more. Using software technologies that have matured over the last decade helps make a viable solution possible. This paper describes a software framework established for a ground-up development of such a system
