... framework that integrates the bill of material extensible markup language (XML) files from heterogeneous PLM systems to RoHS compliance management system. This framework is based on the use of Smart Client technology to obtain flexibility required for complex and distributed environments. It also makes use...

... representations of 3D mesh models and then converts the canonical representations to simplified octrees. The proposed octrees only store partial and empty information, which reduce computation time dramatically. The resulting octree descriptors are stored in XML file format, which facilitates fast processing...

... are brought up and elaborated: the EXPRESS/XML schema-based model and the NIST object-oriented UML-based open assembly model (OAM). Then, these two models are integrated, in which the OAM incorporates the EXPRESS/XML schema-based assembly model to completely capture the detailed geometric information...

... assembly feature XML design modification propagation The flowchart of the whole parsing process is given in Fig. 7 . Through this parsing process, a design modification propagation control mechanism is built in the co-assembly design. Flowchart of whole XML file parsing process...

... units in multilayered supply chains. First, a general and efficient model description for simulation is defined using XML. Each model is described with an XML file and stored in model database. A complete model can then be assembled based on these model descriptions. Simulation of a model is started...

... and quantifying their similarity; (iii) performing tree union; and (iv) establishing design constraints. These challenges are met through data mining methods such as text and tree mining, a new tree union procedure, and embodying the GBOM and design constraints in constrained XML. The paper concludes with a case...

... STEP information models available via mechanisms familiar to more business application developers, specifically XML and the Unified Modeling Language ™ (UML ® ). We also present a vision and roadmap for STEP integration with XML, UML, and other technologies to enable enhanced PLM interoperability. Our...

...Risheng Lin; Abdollah A. Afjeh This paper discusses the detailed design and implementation of an XML databinding framework for Web-based aircraft engine simulation. The framework provides an interoperable, high-level object interface to access data. The interface permits semantic validation...
