DARPA Initiative in Concurrent Engineering (DICE). Phase 2
Abstract
The mission of the DICE program is to create a Concurrent Engineering environment that will result in reduced (DARPA Initiative in Concurrent Engineering) time to market, improved total quality and lower cost for products or systems developed and supported by large organizations. This environment will enable all disciplines important in life cycle of a product or system to cooperate interactively in its definition, planning, design, manufacture, maintenance, refinement and retirement from service. This environment will emulate for large organizations the human tiger-team approach to concurrent engineering successfully employed by small groups. This environment will leverage prior experience; it will emphasize early, high-quality decisions; and it will support the propagation of requirements, the feedback of constraints, and the efficient management of risk and change as the product or system is progressively refined from concept to realization. DICE Consists of (1) a shared information model that captures complete descriptions of the product or system and all associated process activities and organizational resources; (2) a global objective framework that enables the use of the shared information model by a network of cooperating, computer-based clients; and (3) services, methods, tools, and advisors, that assist concept evaluation, analysis and intelligent decision making. Keywords: Prototypes, Assemblies, Components.
