An Ideal Schema Design of an Industrialized PL-ISEE Database Platform

Abstract:

Using the automation production and management system of modern manufacturing industry product line for reference, a new industrialized PL-ISEE (product line based integrated software engineering environment) model was proposed by us in reference [4]. In the new model, the middle part in the PL-ISEE architecture is data layer which is composed of the software components bus and environment database platform to achieve the storage and managements of product line core assets data. In this paper, the environment database platform architecture and its schema design as well as implementation mechanism are further researched. Whole database platform architecture consists of the product line asset objects management service and core assets database system. The data model and database schema of the database system are designed and created by using a united core asset concept model and data organization model. The database supporting platform with the model and schema can well satisfy all the requirements of interfaces, tools and data integration as well as product line assembling production in the PL-ISEE. Therefore, the design and realizing ideas of the PL-ISEE database platform will be useful for researching on product line engineering and methodology in the future.
