Visual specification of measurements and redesigns for domain specific visual languages

Ensuring model quality is a key success factor in many computer science areas, and becomes crucial in recent software engineering paradigms like the one proposed by model-driven software development. Tool support for measurements and redesigns becomes essential to help developers improve the quality of their models. However, developing such helper tools for the wide variety of (frequently domain specific) visual notations used by software engineers is a hard and repetitive task that does not take advantage from previous developments, thus being frequently forgotten.In this paper we present our approach for the visual specification of measurements and redesigns for Domain Specific Visual Languages (DSVLs). With this purpose, we introduce a novel DSVL called SLAMMER that contains generalisations of some of the more used types of internal product measurements and redesigns. The goal is to facilitate the task of defining measurements and redesigns for any DSVL, as well as the generation of tools from such specification reducing or eliminating the necessity of coding. We rely on the use of visual patterns for the specification of the relevant elements for each measurement and redesign type. In addition, SLAMMER allows the specification of redesigns either procedurally or by means of graph transformation rules. These redesigns can be triggered when the measurements reach a certain threshold.These concepts have been implemented in the meta-modelling tool AToM³. In this way, when a DSVL is designed, it is possible to specify measurements and redesigns that will become available in the final modelling environment generated for the language. As an example, we show a case study in the web modelling domain.

Value creation dynamics in a project alliance

Project alliance requires all parties to work together in good faith, share project risks, and make unanimous decisions for the betterment of the project. A key feature of successful implementation of a project alliance is a focus on value creation and value for money. This paper proposes a qualitative system dynamics model to specify and explain dynamics of value creation processes in the context of project alliance. By synthesizing the existing literature and reports on project alliancing, this paper identifies four processes that have a strong influence on the value created in the project alliance context: work progression, rework, redesign and innovation, and rescheduling. In addition, we show how these value creation processes are interrelated and evolve over time. The effectiveness of these processes is influenced by the capability and motivation of the project alliance partners to discover works that do not fully utilize the available resources, and make quick decisions to capture these benefits.

A simulation model to study the impact of early information on design duration and redesign

In the design process, it is common to utilize early information from precedent activities to shorten the project duration instead of having to wait for the confirmed parameter values to arrive after full analysis. However, the estimated preliminary parameter might be different from that obtained after the full analysis. Consequently, redesign may be needed in downstream activities to correct this discrepancy. Total amount of induced redesign may adversely impact loss of productivity and overall design completion. Furthermore, redesign requires additional resources which may exaggerate the project completion for a project with limited resources. This study presents a simulation model to describe the effect of utilizing early information on redesign and total design duration. The paper characterizes the reduction in project duration while accounting for the impact of redesign through sensitivity studies of the parameters of the simulation model. The sensitivity studies would provide valuable insight that project managers can take into account when utilizing early information in design.     

Product Evolution: A Reverse Engineering and Redesign Methodology

New products drive business. To remain competitive, industry is continually searching for new methods to evolve their products. To address this need, we introduce a new reverse engineering and redesign methodology. We start by formulating the customer needs, followed by reverse engineering, creating a functional model through teardowns. The functional model leads to specifications that match the customer needs. Depending upon required redesign scope, new features are possibly conceived, or not. Next, models of the specifications are developed and optimized. The new product form is then built and further optimized using designed experiments. An electric wok redesign provides an illustration. The methodology has had a positive impact on results by using a systematic approach, both within design education and industrial applications.
