@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/7599, title = {A Framework for Product Development Process including HW and SW Components}, author = {Namchul Do and Gyeongseok Chae}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This paper proposes a framework for product development including hardware and software components. It provides separation of hardware dependent software, modifications of current product development process, and integration of software modules with existing product configuration models and assembly product structures. In order to decide the dependent software, the framework considers product configuration modules and engineering changes of associated software and hardware components. In order to support efficient integration of the two different hardware and software development, a modified product development process is proposed. The process integrates the dependent software development into product development through the interchanges of specific product information. By using existing product data models in Product Data Management (PDM), the framework represents software as modules for product configurations and software parts for product structure. The framework is applied to development of a robot system in order to show its effectiveness.}, journal = {International Journal of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {12}, year = {2007}, pages = {769 - 772}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/7599}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/12}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 12, 2007}, }
