Product Data Sheet Ontology

December 18, 2014
Author(s)
Binyam G. Abeye, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Peter O. Denno
Data exchange transactions for the engineering, procurement, and operation of process equipment depend heavily on product data sheets. Product data sheets are traditional paper forms that serve as the main method of communicating detailed equipment

Using Legacy Modeling Artifacts in Supply Chain Logistics Simulation

December 12, 2013
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Terry Harrison
We investigate the feasibility, and the potential advantages and pitfalls of using modeling languages such as the Unified Modeling Language (UML), and the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) to prepare models for discrete event simulation of supply

Trade Collaboration Systems

August 30, 2010
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno
A trade collaboration system (TCS) is a system designed to coordinate the work of supply chain stakeholders involved in the business processes of global logistics. Using the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, the TCS provides a cohesive, process-oriented

Use of Semantic Mediation in Manufacturing Supply Chains

April 6, 2009
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Fabian M. Neuhaus
This case discusses lessons learned about enabling interoperability using semantic methods in three automotive industry projects spanning 8 years. In each project, the essential form of the solution is to reconcile differences in viewpoint of entities

On Enabling a Model-based Systems Engineering Discipline

May 28, 2008
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Thomas Thurman, John Mettenburg, Dwayne Hardy
This paper considers the requirements of a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) discipline, and the benefits that would be realized from it. A premise of MBSE is that the technical environment supporting systems engineering has evolved, and is still

MOSS - Material Off-Shore Sourcing

February 13, 2007
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno
The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) Project, Customs / Logistics Strategies to Strengthen Long Distance Supply Chains, seeks to improve processes and information communication employed in intercontinental trade lanes. At the time this paper was

On Capturing Information Requirements in Process Specifications

February 1, 2007
Author(s)
Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Peter O. Denno
Historically, business process models refer only to large information sets, and database models and messaging standards provide models of all information about the related business entities that might be used in any of several business processes. In short

Notes on an Information Model for Production Rules

October 1, 2006
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno
Production rules are rules used in production systems, sometimes called production rule engines. Production rule engines are commonly used to implement expert systems. This report describes an information model for the exchange of production rules and for

Message Validation with a Semantic Reasoning Tools

September 1, 2006
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Nenad Ivezic
This paper describes challenges encountered in the development of a tool to validate OASIS UBL-based (Universal Business Language) messages. The software tool is ontology-based, using first-order logic and parts of the Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO

Requirements on Information Technology for Product Lifecycle Management

August 1, 2004
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, T Thurman
Good decision-making is founded on good information. Information technology supporting product lifecycle management ought to provide a high degree of information cohesion and traceability ? knowledge of the interrelations among data, and basis for belief

The AMIS Approach to Systems Integration: An Overview

May 1, 2004
Author(s)
Donald E. Libes, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Peter O. Denno, David Flater, Michelle P. Steves, Evan K. Wallace, Allison Barnard Feeney
This paper is an overview of the AMIS (Automated Methods for Integrating Systems) project approach to systems integration. The objective of the AMIS project is to reduce the cost and time for software integration by devising methods, algorithms, and tools

Model-Driven Integration Using Legacy Models

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Michelle P. Steves, Donald E. Libes, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr.
The paper describes a model-driven method of systems integration using legacy models. The method defines relationships between elements of legacy models to produce an implicit ontology of a subsystem. The implicit ontologies of subsystems to be integrated

Concepts for Automating Systems Integration

February 1, 2003
Author(s)
Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Allison Barnard Feeney, Peter O. Denno, David W. Flater, Donald E. Libes, Michelle P. Steves, Evan K. Wallace
The problem of software systems integration getting independently developed software components to communicate in order to support a business application has been altered by the introduction of new software technologies, but by no means eliminated. NIST

Systems Engineering Foundations of Software Systems Integration

August 1, 2002
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Allison Barnard Feeney
This paper concerns how engineering capability should be factored into problem solving agencies for application to software systems integration tasks, and how the results produced by these agencies should be communicated and integrated into a system

Modeling Technology for a Model-Intensive Enterprise

July 1, 2001
Author(s)
Michael Gruninger, David W. Flater, Peter O. Denno
The Object Management Group (OMGtm) is defining specifications supporting a modeling environment that permits models from a family of modeling languages to populate a repository. In that environment, mechanisms that give coherence to the collection of

Modeling Requirements for Self-integrating Manufacturing Systems

July 1, 2000
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno
This paper discusses modeling requirements to support self-integrating manufacturing systems. Business process re-engineering, as it is currently performed, is driven by the same information as may drive the re-engineering process of future self
