Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of model-based system engineering, and in particular to a support system indicator analysis method based on Harmony SE. Background Art

[0002] Harmony, short for "Rational Integrated Systems / Embedded Software Development Process Harmony," adopts the classic V-model of systems design. The left wing of the model depicts the top-down design process, Harmony SE, while the right wing illustrates the bottom-up embedded real-time development process, Harmony ESW. Models and metrics are stored in a central model / metric repository, integrating all phases from unit testing to final system acceptance testing. Harmony SE is a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methodology. It employs a top-down design process encompassing metrics analysis, functional analysis, and design synthesis. This approach primarily identifies system functions based on system metrics and allocates them to subsystem structures. Harmony SE is a proven methodology for systems engineering, implemented using the IBM Rational Rhapsody software tool. From a systems engineering perspective, this approach uses a workflow-based approach to thoroughly delineate the tasks and responsibilities of early system development. This approach seamlessly connects subsequent system development and validation and verification, providing system engineers with a detailed, step-by-step process guide. Any change request in the workflow has a downward impact from a high level. Regardless of where a change request arises, the process restarts at the metrics analysis stage. Harmony SE's systems engineering workflow is an incremental, iterative, cyclical activity flow, with incremental iterations based on use cases. Systems engineering and its implementation analysis iterations are achieved through continuous implementation, testing, and the delivery of demonstrable results.

[0003] In the past, system design and development were primarily based on the designer's experience, which prevented the simultaneous and integrated design, feedback, and coordination of the main equipment platform and the support system. Furthermore, support system planning and design were insufficient, making it impossible to achieve the impact of support on design, and even more impossible to achieve the goal of optimizing the support system through design support. Therefore, to address this issue, given that the MBSE-based development model is now widely adopted in the development of new equipment models, it is urgent and necessary to seek a support system indicator analysis method based on Harmony SE to support the indicator-driven forward development of the support system. Summary of the Invention

This diagram describes the information exchange between the support system black box and external systems. This diagram clearly identifies the external participants involved in the support system use case and the information or material transfer between them, thus guiding the subsequent identification of interface types and requirements.

[0078] S23. Define the black box internal module diagram for the support system: Based on the support system black box, define the support system's ports and interfaces, generate a port and interface definition diagram for the support system, and use this diagram to determine the connection between the support system and external systems, ultimately determining the black box internal module diagram for the support system.

[0091] S42. Define the white-box activity diagram for the support system: Based on the black-box activity diagram, divide the support system's subsystems into swimlanes and refine the generated white-box activity diagram. Compared to the black-box activity diagram, the white-box activity diagram does not add new functionality or omit functionality, maintaining the integrity of the standardized system's indicator delivery. However, a function may be shared by two subsystems.

[0092] S43. Define the white box sequence diagram of the support system: Same as the principle of the black box sequence diagram, with the subsystem as the analysis object, the white box sequence diagram of the support system is automatically generated based on the white box activity diagram of the support system.

After completing the above modeling, as with the black box, it is necessary to establish a satisfaction relationship between the white box scenario and the system requirements. The fourth traceability relationship ensures that each standardized system indicator corresponds to at least one subsystem attribute and operation process.

[0096] S47. Generate subsystem design requirements for the security system: Based on the properties and operation process of the subsystem, assign the second functional indicators and the second port and interface indicators of the subsystem to each subsystem, and use the second functional indicators and the second port and interface indicators of the subsystem as input for the next round of iterative analysis of step S1 for each subsystem.

[0097] Index analysis, functional analysis, architecture analysis and architecture design are all carried out based on Harmony SE theory. Black box activity diagrams, black box sequence diagrams, black box internal module diagrams, white box activity diagrams, white box sequence diagrams, white box internal module diagrams and state diagrams are all defined in SysML language.

[0098] The following is a detailed description of this invention, based on the development of a rescue helicopter. This invention includes four steps: indicator analysis, functional analysis, architecture analysis, and architecture design of a support system based on Harmony SE. Ultimately, the support system captures and transmits influencing factor indicators. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0099] Typical use activities in the development of a certain type of rescue helicopter include: after an earthquake, carrying emergency rescue engineers, medical personnel, loading machinery and equipment, rescue tents, food, medical supplies and other materials to the disaster area, and carrying the wounded back to the base for treatment.

[0100] The influencing factors of this type of helicopter include flight crews, maintenance personnel, the Ministry of Emergency Management, equipment suppliers, etc., which put forward the needs for helicopter use and maintenance support, and pay attention to the support capabilities for the "earthquake relief" mission.

[0101] To support the "earthquake relief" mission, the helicopter's mission execution process includes takeoff, cruising, entry, mission execution, exit, return, and landing. To support the execution of the helicopter mission, support tasks are required, including pre-flight preparation, re-deployment preparation, and post-flight inspection, which puts forward the demand for operational support and maintenance support capabilities.

[0102] Helicopter support use cases are divided into operation support (pre-flight preparation, re-deployment preparation, post-flight inspection), maintenance support (corrective maintenance support, preventive maintenance support), transfer support and supply support.

[0103] A black box activity diagram was defined for "corrective maintenance support." In the proposed helicopter support use case, the support system needs to perform activities such as helicopter preparation, fault isolation, access, disassembly and replacement, reassembly, calibration, and inspection. Analysis shows that the support system should include fault detection and isolation, faulty component access, faulty component disassembly and replacement, and faulty component adjustment. Further definition of the black box sequence diagram and internal module diagram revealed that, for example, to implement fault detection and isolation, a detection and isolation interface should be established between the support system and the helicopter.

[0104] Clustering the functions identified in the previous analysis yields a functional architecture consisting of: information upload / download / processing, mooring and mobilization, routine operations, inspection, and replacement. Based on these functions, two candidate support system architectures are proposed: 1) by function category: information upload / download / processing, mooring and mobilization, routine operations, inspection, and replacement; 2) by general support resource element category: information systems, support equipment, support tools, technical documentation, supply support, and support facilities. Through a trade-off analysis, the second support system architecture was determined.

[0105] Define a white-box activity diagram for the support system, and decompose functions into subsystems using swimlanes. For example, the "fault detection and isolation function" is handled by the "support equipment," and the "faulty component removal and replacement function" is handled by the "support tool." Further defining white-box sequence diagrams and white-box internal module diagrams reveals that, for example, to implement the fault detection and isolation function, a detection and isolation interface should exist between the support equipment and the helicopter; and to implement the faulty component removal and replacement function, a reachable and operable interface should exist between the support tool and the helicopter. This allows for the allocation of functional and interface requirements for subsystems such as the information system, support equipment, support tools, technical documentation, supply support, and support facilities.

[0106] Through the above analysis, we can capture and decompose the top-level demand such as "earthquake relief" layer by layer to obtain the security system architecture plan and put forward design requirements for security resources at all levels in the architecture.

[0107] The present invention designs a support system indicator analysis method based on Harmony SE. By capturing, analyzing, and decomposing support system indicators, the method accurately and completely captures and analyzes support system indicators, providing a basis for formulating support system plans, proposing design requirements for support resources at all levels, and designing and developing support system architectures, thereby supporting indicator-driven forward research and development of support systems. The method effectively solves many practical problems caused by adopting designer experience, such as the inability to achieve synchronous design, integrated design, synchronous feedback, and coordination between the main equipment platform and the support system. It can compensate for deficiencies in support system planning and design, realize support-influenced design, and achieve the goal of optimizing the support system through design support.

[0108] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only intended to illustrate rather than limit the technical solutions of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents. Any modification or partial replacement that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
