Abstract This paper is about tool support for knowledgeintensive engineering tasks. In particular, it introduces software technology to assist the design of complex technical syste...
A new type of computer-aided engineering environment is envisioned which will improve the productivity of manufacturing/industrial engineers. This environment would be used by eng...
Software helps people fulfill their goals, but development tools lack understanding of those goals. But if development tools did understand how software artifacts relate to higher...
— Considerable attention is now being devoted to the study of “complexity science” with the intent of discovering and applying universal laws of highly interconnected and evo...
Engineers use software tools to analyze designs for critical systems. Because important decisions are based on tool results, tools must provide valid modeling constructs; engineer...
