Enabling diagrammatic de-abstraction and modelling of engineering problems


Peter Hale – PhD supervision team, Tony Solomonides and Ian Beeson

Abstract

Problem -

* Enable de-abstraction of engineering problems from engineers' representation to computer models and code
* To what extent can diagrammatic representations of problems can be used in order to provide modelling solutions


Solutions -
* A source tree is created, then translated to computer code, then represented as a result tree
Benefits -
* Enables engineers to visualise problems such as representation of a product data structure in a familiar way
* Gives a visual and colour coded representation of equations
* Visualisation is easier to navigate and understand than that in spreadsheets, and more maintainable


Wider Implications -
* This research could also be used for business modelling, process modelling, and workflow
