Genesis – an Architectural Pattern for Federated PLM

Abstract

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is a key capability for any organization developing and/or maintaining complex systems. This paper presents a modular architectural pattern for realizing a federated PLM capability from integrating multiple engineering discipline specific development environments. This opens the possibility for replacement of individual environments, while maintaining the overall development system landscape. Thus, providing a desired flexibility in adapting to future organizational challenges at comparatively low cost.

From tears to tiers – architectural principles for federated PLM landscapes

“…In previous sections, we have reviewed and analysed architectures for realising a PLM capability. In this section we introduce an architecture pattern for federated PLM, named Genesis (Herzog et al, 2022), and the OSLC family of standards for linking across application boundaries.…”
