The term `behavior' is used ubiquitously in engineering. It refers roughly to the way technical artifacts `behave' in a given or hypothetical situation, and plays a pivot...

Abstract. In this paper three perspectives are presented on defining the general notion of technical artifacts in formal ontologies. These perspectives share two intuitions: that ...
Abstract. This research aims at promoting sharing of knowledge about functionality of artifacts among engineers, which tends to be implicit in practice. In order to provide a conce...
This paper discusses ontology mapping between two taxonomies of functions of artifacts for the engineering knowledge management. The mapping is of two ways and has been manually es...
Since engineered systems, e.g. aviation control, have increasingly equipped with automated and computer-supported artifacts, human-system interaction has been an important issue. U...
