Abstract
This paper presents a bottom up introduction to process modeling requirements for product realization which should drive new methods and computer tools. Though relatively high-level and organizational in scope, these models are attracting interest among design engineers, system engineers and technical managers whose decisions affect the complex downstream task interactions that cross organizational boundaries. A recent study of industrial usage, industrial requirements, and research issues is presented.
