Ontology-based modeling notation for assembly, integration, and verification process of space platforms

Resumo

A process modeling language for the assembly, integration, and verification (AIV) process of multidisciplinary systems like space research platforms is proposed. The referred language is developed over an ontology framework, built for this specific purpose following a systematic construction approach. Subsequently, the visual notation items and the axiomatic rules for the creation of AIV process models are introduced. The most important concepts can be represented on diagrams that describe the operations sequence, system status evolution, and additional information required for a mutual comprehension of the knowledge domain under study. The AIV process modeling may bring benefits like the identification of an adequate work breakdown structure, the optimal definition of system interfaces, and a powerful mechanism to manage systems under development.
