N2 - The key success factors in development of complex systems
are among the following:
1. systematic processes and life cycle model (such as
ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and its daughter standards)
2. a systematic model for the engineering artefacts and
their relations (such as specifications, CAD-models,
pieces of information, and so forth)
3. An effective organisation model, - well-defined roles
and responsibilities (like systems engineer, requirements
engineer, and so forth), - well-defined collaboration
model (to facilitate consistent view in all involved
organisations of the goal, data and state of the
development)
4. well-planned use of project management and systems
engineering tools, - a good selection of engineering
tools (model based tools advocated), - a flexible tool
integration model (to allow integration of various tools
used by the collaboration partners)
5. a tool to orchestrate all of the above (such as a PLM
tool).
This report addresses the second success factor,
systematic model for the engineering artefacts. The
particular focus is on the traceability of the
engineering artefacts in simulation oriented systems
development. The ultimate goal is to integrate the
artefacts (such as simulation results) produced by the
simulation engineers and their software tools with the
other artefacts of the development processes; current
practices easily leave simulation engineers on their
distinct islands without knowing the original stakeholder
requirements, the consequent system requirements and the
specific rationale for a specific simulation task.
Engineering artefacts include, among others, requirements
specifications, system functions specifications, system
architecture descriptions and verification and validation
artefacts, simulation related artefacts being a part of
the verification and validation artefacts. In complex
systems, arrangements for traceability and impact
analysis play an important role in managing the iterative
systems development. To provide the traceability of
engineering artefacts, a traceability information model
and a tool to implement it is required. This report
presents a systems engineering artefacts model titled
SEAModel to facilitate creation of traceability
information models. Some possible tools to implement
SEAModel are discussed, and finally a demonstration done
to ensure feasibility of SEAModel in simulation driven
demonstration case is reported.
