Systems engineering data representation and exchange standardisation

Obiettivo

This project is directed at the development of an interface standard which will allow the complete set of tools in design of aeroplanes and spacecraft and their avionics systems (hardware, software, mechanical design, and implementation, project management, etc.) to communicate in such a way that an integrated project support environment is available from commercial tools.

The interface standard will be possibly based on the STEP interface used in CAD applications, but will be extended to add the semantics appropriate to the aircraft industry.

This project will develop and demonstrate an "open" design information environment for the active components (e.g. electronics, hydraulics, computing) of complex integrated products. The resulting standards and environment will increase the efficiency of industrial collaboration in design and product support, and will complement the strong focus on geometry and structure definition which characterise other research projects, such as those under the AIT initiative.

A significant part of all complex, integrated products (such as aircraft, vehicles, transport systems and even buildings) is systems. In an aerospace context, aircraft systems comprise: avionics systems (such as mission, communications, navigation, human/systems interface) and airframe systems (such as crew/passenger escape, power generation/distribution, environment control, fuel management). A "system" in this project is defined as a set of predominantly active components, many of which are electronic components like embedded computers, sensors, displays and actuators, that are interconnected via dedicated direct links or by communications busses. In typical contemporary systems, there are tens or hundreds of interacting components, resulting in an enormous degree of complexity.

An increasing number of design tools are used, covering all aspects of such systems, which leads to increased information duplication, inconsistencies, checking and correction, as well as little consistency to the configuration management approach. Since the design information captured within the tools is in a proprietary format, this leads to an increasing dependency on tool vendors and the tools acting as a barrier to co-operative working.

This project will define requirements for, develop and demonstrate both:

1. data exchange and storage standards and
2. an example of a comprehensive systems design environment based on commercially available tools, that will address and solve these issues.

Exchange standards will provide candidate PDES/STEP Application Protocols for the systems elements of product definition (behaviour, timing, non-functional properties...). The project work will be done against the background of the deficiencies of current Systems Development frameworks (for instance, DoD 2167A, 499B, EIA IS 632, IEEE P1220, etc.), and will therefore have to establish a basic Concurrent Engineering Concept, a union of process, development environment, tools and engineering techniques against which the key objectives of the project are achieved.

The exploitation will aim to improve quality and reduce cost and time scales for systems development; the exploitation process will firstly apply the results internally to current product developments, secondly, spread the results to external organisations, such as our partner companies on large projects and thirdly, the companies will follow an active policy of dissemination of the public results of the project, for instance, in promoting ISO/STEP standards, in encouraging tool suppliers in providing STEP-compliant interfaces, and in promoting education of data exchange to support concurrent engineering.
