ABSTRACT
Designing and consequent assembling of a new vehicle is a complex process as it requires close coordination and inputs from a number of disciplines in developing a number of systems and sub-systems in the vehicle that should fit within the confined vehicle space, function and provide the customers an acceptable combination of all relevant vehicle attributes. Understanding how these processes interact and how they are aligned with other while they should support the tasks involved in the conception of a new vehicle at a minimum time and cost is a difficult task. The first step to achieve this goal is the definition of a new UML profile (called VDML, Vehicle Development Modeling Language) based on the extension mechanics of UML (industry standard language) to assist business process description and profit consequent from the improvements achieved by the high level vision. To show the benefits of this new language applied to this specific business we model the engineer and manufacturing activity processes using VDML

Modelling a quality assurance information system for product development projects with the UML approach
To support the application of information technology in quality management, the current paper presents a case study of quality assurance information system modelling for product development projects in a small-to medium-sized enterprise. The object-...
Model-driven engineering with domain-specific meta-modelling languages
Domain-specific modelling languages are normally defined through general-purpose meta-modelling languages like the MOF. While this is satisfactory for many model-driven engineering (MDE) projects, several researchers have identified the need for domain-...
