“…Morphological approaches are successfully used in knowledge-based engineering systems (KBE-Knowledge-Based Engineering) [6,7]. For example, KBE systems are defined as: "A rule-based expert system contains a knowledge base, inference engine, knowledge retrieval, explanation tools, and user interface" [8,9]. Classical methods of morphological analysis have a number of drawbacks.…”

The value engineering is widely used in the design of innovative engineering systems. The paper discusses the combination of morphological approaches for the development of value engineering methods. Increasing the efficiency of searching and analyzing new engineering solutions leads to the increase and refinement of information about the system under consideration. One of the defining criteria is adaptation at all stages of the life cycle. The purpose of the paper is to briefly analyze the application of the advanced morphological approach for detailed analysis. This paper describes the concept and results of using the methodology. As a result, the engineering system is analyzed and suggestions for further improvement of the approach are made. The advanced morphological analysis use in VE can be considered as a continuous process of increasing engineering and economic indicators of synthesized systems and technological processes, organizational structures.

“…On this basis, an automatic workflow is established to convert the original design data into the corresponding BIM model. Optimization of design in railway construction using BIM is also addressed in other works [32,[45][46][47][48][49][50]. Test of the possibilities and capabilities of storing GIS data in the open standard Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) for BIM was solved in [51].…”

Case Study of Remodelling the As-Built Documentation of a Railway Construction into the BIM and GIS Environment

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a modern approach to managing the process of preparation, realization and operation of building objects including their documentation throughout their life cycle, based on database agenda platform. The aim of our research is to analyze and innovate existing engineering procedures with the aim: 1. to remodel the existing CAD documentation into BIM for the purpose of public procurement, 2. to provide guaranteed data to the IS of the Digital Map of Public Administration and 3. to provide data for the design of new railway structures or their reconstruction. The aim of the case study was to evaluate the effectiveness of remodelling the existing as-built documentation of a railway construction into a common BIM data environment (CDE), in which further subsequent construction agenda should be managed for the remaining period of its life cycle. Using the documentation for construction realization of the railway station Šumice, this 3D documentation was remodeled into the BIM data environment CDE and alternatively also into the 2D GIS environment. The BIM data standard developed by the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure was analyzed during the documentation reworking. An important parameter of the documentation rework was the use of a geodetic reference system fully compatible with the cadastral system in the Czech Republic. It turned out that the general data standard is only partially applicable for railway structures containing many special objects and many objects requiring individual classification. The remodelling of existing graphical data proved faster and more efficient in a GIS environment (layer oriented) compared to the need for 3D remodelling in a BIM CDE (object oriented). Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of remodelling underground technical infrastructure objects, while the visible surface situation is often more effectively captured by current progressive bulk data acquisition technologies. In a CDE environment, existing as-built documentation data can be efficiently stored and administered and progressively, for the procurement and execution of construction, purposefully remodeled only to the extent required in BIM or converted into an exchangeable Digital Technical Map (DTM) format for public administration.

“…This is intuitively clear to the domain experts due to the experience and knowledge they possess: factual ("know what"), operational ("know-how"), normative ("know why"), etc. (Häußler and Borrmann, 2021). However, in the context of software development, the following question arises: how to translate that knowledge into requirements of the software engineering domain?…”

“…When these are not followed, multiple issues can arise. Failing to involve the users to a sufficient degree or to consider their feedback properly leads to misunderstanding, misinterpretation of the requirements, incompleteness, and inconsistency (Arayici et al, 2006, Häußler andBorrmann, 2021). Missing specification templates and examples may lead to hidden divergence of definitions, e.g., of fundamental terms like "constraint" or "objective", even "requirement" (Parsanezhad et al, 2016.…”

The development of software tools is a collaborative process involving both the domain experts and the software engineers. This requires efficient communication considering different expertise and perspectives. Additionally, the two groups utilize language and communication tools in disparate ways. This, in turn, may lead to hidden misunderstandings in the requirement analysis phase and potentially result in implementation problems later on, that is difficult and costly to correct. In this paper, we demonstrate the above mentioned challenge via a use case from the tunneling domain. In particular, during the requirement analysis phase for a software capable of handling the data model of the subsoil. The domain experts in the field can best express the complexity of their domain by describing its artifacts, which in most cases are incomprehensible to the software engineers. We outline a method that interleaves requirement analysis and software modeling to enable an iterative increase of the accuracy and completeness of the information extracted from those artifacts and integrated into a flexible software model, which can produce testable software code automatically. Furthermore, we present a prototypical implementation of our method and a preliminary evaluation of the approach.
