Study Notes
- The text discusses patterns in product development and systems engineering, including methodology patterns and their application across the System of Innovation.
- Patterns can be implicitly recognized and used or explicitly modeled, and they can be found in various fields of engineering and technology.
- Explicitly modeled patterns help in sharing knowledge and improving efficiency.
- Informal patterns include expertise and judgement of individual practitioners and teams, often captured as prose or heuristics.
- Formal patterns, on the other hand, are based on model-based representations and have a significant impact on engineering productivity and interoperability.
- Formal patterns include ontologies, Architectural Frameworks, schemas, Product Line Engineering datasets, and system modeling languages.
- Models have been a crucial part of the STEM revolution, providing agreements with observed natural phenomena and reducing them to simplest form in patterns of physical laws.
- The central question in SE is determining the smallest system model content necessary to represent a System of Innovation across its life cycle.
- A model that is too large may include unnecessary information and redundancies, while a model that is too small may lack essential information needed during the life cycle.
- The text emphasizes the importance of formal patterns, particularly those based on models, for improving compatibility and interoperability among engineering practitioners and teams.
