教程简介Tutorial Abstract:
When the complexity of systems increases beyond what one expert can comprehend, new methods and tools are necessary to develop such systems effectively. At the same time, due to globalization, companies must compete in a global market place, increasing the need for methods and tools that allow engineers to create competitive products by optimizing them from a holistic, system-wide perspective. To address these needs, a new approach for systems engineering and design is needed. While traditional Systems Engineering methods focused primarily on requirements and process management, a new approach should focus on what we really care about: Creating Value. In this tutorial, we will explore a systematic method for defining a systems engineering problem in a fashion that is consistent with decision theory. We will break the problem down into: formulating objectives, generating alternatives, predicting the outcomes, formulating preferences over outcomes, and finally using optimization tools to identify the most preferred alternative. The overall process will be illustrated using a hybrid electric car.
主讲人介绍：佐治亚理工机械系Chris Paredis副教授
Dr. Paredis is an Associate Professor in the G.W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and Associate Director of the Model-Based System Engineering Center at Georgia Tech. He holds graduate degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium) and in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. Dr. Paredis has a broad, multidisciplinary background. In his research, he focuses on Model-Based Systems Engineering, combining aspects of decision theory, information technology, simulation, and systems theory to support the design of complex mechatronic systems. In these areas, he has published more than 100 refereed journal articles and conference papers. He is active within the Object Management Group (OMG), serving as chair of the Finalization Task Force for the SysML-Modelica Transformation Specification, and serving on the SysML Revision Task Force. He also serves as associate editor of the Journal of Mechanical Design, and he was the Chair of the ASME Computers and Information in Engineering Division in 2007-2008. Dr. Paredis received the 2007 CETL/BP Junior Faculty Teaching Excellence Award, the 2007 SAE Ralph R. Teetor Educational Award, and the 2011 ASME CIE Excellence in Research Award.
