Presentation will explain how an information system or data exchange mechanism can be built or configured to support systems engineering processes.
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, 13 March 2014—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm announces that Croon Elektrotechniek’s Leo van Ruijven will make a presentation at CIMdata’s upcoming European workshop, Bridging the Requirements Gap with Model-Based Systems Engineering, which will take place in Bad Homburg, Germany on 9 April, 2014.
Mr. van Ruijven’s presentation, Developing an MBSE Framework Based on ISO Standards, will offer a framework for Model-Based Systems Engineering based on the Life Cycle Data Integration standard ISO 15926 and the System Life Cycle Processes standard ISO 15288. The framework is based on using a Reference Data Library (ISO 15926-4 RDL) and a set of relationships derived from information models representing the processes defined in ISO 15288.
With this framework an information system or data exchange mechanism can be built or configured to support systems engineering processes or a subset of them. The framework has been used in major infrastructure projects in the Netherlands using the Product Lifecycle Management tool Relatics and in an implementation in the shipbuilding industry supply chain based on RDFS Named Graph using the triple store Virtuoso.

About Leo van Ruijven, MSc, Croon Elektrotechniek BV
Leo van Ruijven received his Master of Science degree from the Hoge School van Utrecht in the Netherlands. His thesis was about implementing integral design within the construction industry. Van Ruijven was involved in the design and engineering of one of the largest water barriers in the world, the Stormvloedkering Nieuwe Waterweg in the Netherlands and the Westerscheldetunnel, the longest road tunnel in the Netherlands. As part of these projects he was responsible for risk and availability analysis and the design and implementation of a configuration management system. He is currently responsible for the development and implementation of systems engineering at Croon Elektrotechniek BV. Van Ruijven is a member of ISO TC 184 SC4 and in this context he is one of the initiators for bringing the Gellish methodology under the ISO 15926 umbrella. Related to this he has developed a Universal Information Adapter (UIA) for the maritime industry in the Netherlands based on the framework to be presented at this workshop. This UIA is used in the supply chain for creating, storage, and exchange of product information. The work presented is part of ongoing PhD-work by the author carried out at Delft University of Technology.
