Object-oriented Design Framework for Stock Keeping Unit Generating System

This paper proposes an object-oriented design for generating Stock Keeping Unit coding system. Through recognition and analysis of the inventory item particulars and conceptualizing the important classes as one package, the framework is developed in a modular-basis able to be integrated with other parts of the system. Using UML class and package diagram as of the best practice in object-oriented, conducting the analysis and design is elaborately discussed. A prototype implementation is carried out to support the designed framework over its applicability at a modular information system. Moreover, the item particular package with unique and organized SKU numbering system efficiently supports the fundamental need of item identification at inventory control operations and classification and guarantees different types of reports and lookups.

Integrated function structure and object-oriented design framework

Function structure is a popular product design approach in the mechanical design world. However, it does not currently provide an object-oriented design method for design of a product's software system. Also, function structure is limited in identifying supporting mechanisms for individual physical components. The proposed integrated function structure and object-oriented design framework improves the function structure approach, and provides methods of generating variant and common components for the product family. This framework integrates the function structure, object model, and system architecture to explore the development of products requiring the interplay of physical and software elements concurrently. Many classes of products could benefit from this approach. We present in this paper a virtual prototyping tool for conceptual design leveraging on the proposed framework and demonstrating its usage and advantages.

Axiomatic functional and object-oriented product design framework

This paper describes an axiomatic functional and object-oriented design framework for co-design and co-analysis of product functions, physical structures, and their mapping relations. This design framework consists of function model, object model, information flow model, and axiomatic design model. These models are constructed level-by-level and side-by-side to form a concurrent and coordinated design paradigm. The components of the resulting design are reviewed by the design team, summarized in a task assignment table, and allocated to respective disciplinary engineers for detail design. This methodology enables mechanical, electronic, and software engineers to collaborate and develop mechatronic products in a concurrent and integrated fashion.

Simple object oriented designed computer algebra system

Computer Algebra System (CAS) is a software program that facilitates symbolic mathematics. The core functionality of a typical CAS is manipulation of mathematical expressions in symbolic forms. The expressions manipulated by CAS normally include polynomials in multiple variables, standard trigonometric and exponential functions, various special functions for example gamma, zeta, Bessel, etc. and also arbitrary functions like derivatives, integrals, sums, and products of expressions. Our implementation of a CAS tool provides an object oriented design framework. The system is portable to other platforms and highly scalable. The other key features include a very simple and interactive user GUI support for a formula editor, making it a self contained system, additionally the formula editor provides a real-time syntax checking for expressions.
