Lessons From the Field: Developing Standards | 2005-10-25 03:00:03 | Xpdian |
| Developing UML standards is an important first step in achieving consistency and efficiency in an enterprise. Consistent modelling means consistent understanding between the modellers and their audience. Consistent modelling practices also make for easy movement of resources between teams without extended learning curves. Some of the lessons Xpdian has learned in developing standards are deciding what standards must be developed, involving the right people, developing UML champions, developing formal standards documents, developing formal standards training, developing lots of examples and reviewing the standards constantly. | |||

Lessons From the Field: Solving Abstraction | 2005-10-25 03:00:03 | Xpdian |
| One of the most difficult concepts in the modelling use cases is the exact level of detail (often called level of abstraction) to model to. Some modellers may model at a very high level of abstraction which implies that the use case can still be broken down into several more detailed use cases. Other modellers prefer to model at a very detailed level of abstraction which means that they prefer to work at a very detailed use case level that often cannot be broken down any further. As long as one modeller develops and maintains a model this does not have too many drawbacks. | |||

Airbus Monitors and Controls Lighter Aircraft Evolution Using Advanced Weight Accounting System | 2006-04-25 03:05:55 | Capgemini |
| A key factor in enabling Airbus to deliver a competitive commercial advantage over other aircraft manufacturers is simply to deliver lighter aircraft. Weight Accounting is a strategic activity for Airbus and the use of a suitable tool to monitor and control strict weight targets are critical to attaining commercial success. With this in mind, Capgemini was selected to implement an Advanced Weight Accounting System (AWAS) to improve and unify the existing Weight Accounting process for the Airbus partnership. The main aim of the AWAS project was to offer a common database that can be accessed by all partners working to a common standard throughout the aircraft lifecycle (from initial design through Entry Into Service and beyond). |
