Abstract

This paper is concerned with tracking the evolution of design component versions and their related design configuration versions in a concurrent engineering design environment. An important aspect is the capability to determine if a dynamically bound configuration version is consistent with its design goals and its assembly has no design conflicts between its components’ versions. We present a generalized object-oriented model which captures the evolution of design configurations and their components by supporting versioning at all levels. The dynamics and consistency of multiversion configurations are also addressed.
