The aim of this analysis is to develop an information and exchange network for ICT standardization knowledge in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Since 2013, this analysis has been carried out in the frame of the implementation of the “Luxembourg’s policy on ICT technical standardization” (which was last updated in 2015)1. The ICT sector is already an active sector at the national standardization level with 65 national delegates currently registered by ILNAS2. These delegates are involved in standardization technical committees to participate actively and follow closely the work performed at international level and have the task of ensuring that the views and positions of Luxembourg are understood and known by the technical committees. ILNAS is convinced that this sector could be even more active, especially since some ICT subsectors do not yet benefit from a sufficient representation of national delegates (e.g.: Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Smart Cities). Thus, the purposes of this analysis are firstly, to provide useful information to national stakeholders regarding standardization activities in the field of ICT and secondly, to involve them into an integrated and innovative approach of standardization.

In order to communicate in the same graphic language in engineering, the technical drawing standard has been specified by the International Organization fo r Standardization (ISO). Some commercial CAD softwares such as AutoCAD, AutoSketch and Solid Edge provided high-end ability to work whether in 3D or 2D space. Their width, length and proportion of printed lines conform to the ISO Technical Drawing Standard. But the procedures and interface to create line width and line type fo r simple drawing are sometime tedious and complex. The aim of this research work is to develop a 2D CAD software with emphasize on line width and line type control based on the ISO technical drawing standard fo r technical drawing.

  • The Representation and Exchange of Material and Other Engineering Properties
    Data Science Journal, Volume 8, 24 September 2009 THE REPRESENTATION AND EXCHANGE OF MATERIAL AND OTHER ENGINEERING PROPERTIES Norman Swindells Ferroday Limited, 14 Mere Farm Road, UK-Birkenhead, CH43 9TT Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The representation of information and its exchange in a communication requires the use of a common information model to define the semantics and syntax of the representation and a common dictionary to define the meaning of the data items. These fundamental concepts are the basis of the new standard ISO 10303-235: 'Engineering properties for product design and verification' for the computer representation and exchange of material and any other engineering properties of a product and to provide an audit trail for the derivation of the property value. A related dictionary conforming to ISO 13584 can define testing methods and their properties and enable the information model to be used for any property of any product. Keywords: Materials properties, Data representation, Data exchange, Materials informatics, International standards 1 INTRODUCTION Engineering properties are essential information for design and manufacturing processes and play an increasing role in the management of products throughout their life-cycle, including the end-of-life phase. For these reasons it is necessary to be able to communicate the information about the meaning of these properties and their values efficiently and without ambiguity among many different software programs and to retain this information for the lifetime of the product, independently from any proprietary software. The fundamental requirement for the communication of information in a natural language is the combination of a common information model and a common dictionary.

  • Development of a New Drawing System for STS
    School of Innovation, Design and Engineering BACHELOR THESIS IN AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING 15 CREDITS, BASIC LEVEL 300 Development of a new drawing system for STS Authors: Mikael Berkelund and Christian Håkonsen Report code: MDH.IDT.FLYG.0189.2008.GN300.15HP.D. Abstract An engineering firm which handles and constructs drawings needs well defined routines and structures which should be homogeneous through all the different departments. A common drawing system results in better quality and cooperation between the departments. SAS Technical Services (STS) did not have a common drawing system which had led to development of different routines in the different regions and departments. Requested was development of new routines regarding engineering drawings, such as drawing numbering structure, revision and subscription routines, which standards to adhere to, custom made drawing templates and management of the drawings with belonging documents. Each requested task was broken into minor tasks and analyzed. Solutions by different leading engineering companies were used for comparison and ideas. All the tasks were collected and organized in one single document which is the result of the thesis; a drawing instruction. The drawing instruction will after a learning phase ease the work for the STS engineers as all necessary information can be found in one single place. Also, work with contractors will be time-saving as the instruction can be handed out for guidance. Date: 29 jan 2008 Carried out at: SAS Technical Services Advisor at MDH: Tommy Nygren Advisor at SAS Technical Services: Anders Pramler Examinator: Gustaf Enebog II Sammanfattning En ingenjörsfirma som hanterar och skapar mängder med ritningar behöver väldefinierade rutiner och strukturer som är homogena genom hela bolaget.

  • EA Management in the German Public Sector: an Initial Perspective on Priorities
    EA Management in the German Public Sector: An Initial Perspective on Priorities Anna Sonnenberger1 and Kurt Sandkuhl2 1,2 BEC, Elmenhorst, Germany 2 Institute of Computer Science, University of Rostock, Germany [anna.sonnenberger, kurt.sandkuhl]@uni-rostock.de Abstract. Worldwide, Enterprise Architectures (EAs) have been gaining popu- larity due to benefits, like, e.g., increased transparency of dependencies between business and technology, reduction of efforts for system customization or opti- mizing integrated and enterprise-wide processes and matching actions. Private businesses and the public sector show significant differences in the use of EA. Thus, the application of reference architectures originating from the private sec- tor for purposes in the public sector creates substantial challenges. For a better understanding of the challenges, it is necessary to identify the most affected EA layers and the insufficiently defined, modeled or described elements of EA models in general. Based on an investigation in the Germany, this paper identi- fies weaknesses of EA in the public sector, like an incompletely modeled tech- nology layer, and also strengths, such as existing definitions, descriptions and models of enterprise objectives. These findings are the foundation for deriving actions and recommendations to strengthening the existing structure and turning it into a coherent overall architecture for federal and state agencies in Germany. Keywords: Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Architecture Management, Ref- erence Models and Architecture, Public Sector. 1 Introduction Fundamentally, IT is gaining in importance, making the development of IT strategies necessary. A holistic and guiding strategy development cannot be reduced to solely the IT perspective or solely the business perspective. Both must be adapted and tuned to achieve long term goals such as transparency, cost reduction and short term process adjustment [3, 4, 9, 18, 23, 24].
