外文文献资料1、Software EngineeringSoftware is the sequences of instructions in one or more programming languages that comprise a computer application to automate some business function. Engineering is the use of tools and techniques in problem solving. Putting the two words together, software engineering is the systemtic application of tools and techniques in the development of computer-based applications.The software engineering process describes the steps it takes to deelop the system. We begin a development project with the notion that there is a problem to be solved via automation. The process is how you get from problem recognition to a working solution. A quality process is desirable because it is more likely to lead to a quality product. The process followed by a project team during the development life cycle of an application should be orderly, goal-oriented, enjoyable, and a learning experience.Object-oriented methodology is an approach to system lifecycle development that takes a top-down view of data objects, their allowable actions, and the underlying communication requirement to define a system architecture. The data and action components are encapsulated, that is , they are combined together, to form abstract data types Encapsulation means that if I know what data I want ,I also know the allowable processes against that data. Data are designed as lattice hierarchies of relationships to ensure that top-down, hierarchic inheritance and side ways relationships are accommodated. Encapsulated objects are constrained only to communicate via messages. At a minimum, messages indicate the receiver and action requested. Messages may be more elaborate, including the sender and data to be acted upon.That we try to apply engineering discipline to software development does not mean that we have all the answers about how to build applications. On the contrary, we still build systems that are not useful and thus are not used. Part of the reason for continuing problems in application development, is that we are constantly trying to hita moving target. Both the technology and the type of applications needed by businesses are constantly changing and becoming more complex. Our ability to develop and disseminate knowledge about how to successfully build systems for new technologies and new application types seriously lags behind technological and business changes.Another reason for continuing problems in application development is that we aren’t always free to do what we like and it is hard to change habits and cultures from the old way of doing things, as well as get users to agree with a new sequence of events or an unfamiliar format for documentation.You might ask then, if many organizations don’t use good software engineering practices, why should I bother learning them? There are two good answers to this question. First, if you never know the right thing to do, you have no chance of ever using it. Second, organizations will frequently accept evolutionary, small steps of change instead of revolutionary, massive change. You can learn individual techniques that can be applied without complete devotion to one way of developing systems. In this way, software engineering can speed changee in their organizations by demonstrating how the tools and techniques enhance th quality of both the product and the process of building a system.2、Data Base System1、IntroductionThe development of corporate databases will be one of the most important data-processing activities for the rest of the 1970s. Date will be increasingly regarded as a vital corporate resource, which must be organized so as to maximize their value. In addition to the databases within an organization, a vast new demand is growing for database services, which will collect, organize, and sell data.The files of data which computers can use are growing at a staggering rate. The growth rate in the size of computer storage is greater than the growth in the size or power of any other component in the exploding data processing industry. The more data the computers have access to, the greater is their potential power. In all walks of life and in all areas of industry, data banks will change the areas of what it is possiblefor man to do. In the end of this century, historians will look back to the coming of computer data banks and their associated facilities as a step which changed the nature of the evolution of society, perhaps eventually having a greater effect on the human condition than even the invention of the printing press.Some most impressive corporate growth stories of the generation are largely attributable to the explosive growth in the need of information.The vast majority of this information is not yet computerized. However, the cost of data storage hardware is dropping more rapidly than other costs in data processing. It will become cheaper to store data on computer files than to store them on paper. Not only printed information will be stored. The computer industry is improving its capability to store line drawing, data in facsimile form, photo-graphs, human speech, etc. In fact, any form of information other than the most intimate communications between humans can be transmitted and stored digitally.There are two main technology developments likely to become available in the near future. First, there are electromagnetic devices that will hold much more data than disks but have much longer access time. Second, there are solid-state technologies that will give microsecond access time but capacities are smaller than disks.Disks themselves may be increased in capacity somewhat. For the longer term future there are a number of new technologies which are currently working in research labs which may replace disks and may provide very large microsecond-access-time devices. A steady stream of new storage devices is thus likely to reach the marketplace over the next 5 years, rapidly lowering the cost of storing data.Given the available technologies, it is likely that on-line data bases will use two or three levels of storage. One solid-state with microsecond access time, one electromagnetic with access time of a fraction of a second. If two ,three ,or four levels of storage are used, physical storage organization will become more complex ,probably with paging mechanisms to move data between the levels; solid-state storage offers the possibility of parallel search operation and associativememory.Both the quantity of data stored and the complexity of their organization are going up by leaps and bounds. The first trillion bit on-line stores are now in use . in a few year’s time ,stores of this size may be common.A particularly important consideration in data base design is to store the data so that the can be used for a wide variety of applications and so that the way they can be changed quickly and easily. On computer installation prior to the data base era it has been remarkably difficult to change the way data are used. Different programmers view the data in different ways and constantly want to modify them as new needs arise modification , however ,can set off a chain reaction of changes to existing programs and hence can be exceedingly expensive to accomplish .Consequently , data processing has tended to become frozen into its old data structures .To achieve flexibility of data usage that is essential in most commercial situations . Two aspects of data base design are important. First, it should be possible to interrogate and search the data base without the lengthy operation of writing programs in conventional programming languages. Second ,the data should be independent of the programs which use them so that they can be added to or restructured without the programs being changed .The work of designing a data base is becoming increasing difficult , especially if it is to perform in an optimal fashion . There are many different ways in which data can be structured ,and they have different types of data need to be organized in different ways. Different data have different characteristics , which ought to effect the data organization ,and different users have fundamentally different requirements. So we need a kind of data base management system(DBMS)to manage data.Data base design using the entity-relationship model begins with a list of the entity types involved and the relationships among them. The philosophy of assuming that the designer knows what the entity types are at the outset is significantly different from the philosophy behind the normalization-based approach.The entity-relationship(E-R)approach uses entity-relationship diagrams. The E-Rapproach requires several steps to produre a structure that is acceptable by the particular DBMS. These steps are:(1) Data analysis(2) Producing and optimizing the entity model.(3) Logical schema development(4) Physical data base design process.Developing a data base structure from user requirements is called data bases design. Most practitioners agree that there are two separate phases to the data base design process. The design of a logical database structure that is processable by the data base management system(DBMS)d escribes the user’s view of data, and is the selection of a physical structure such as the indexed sequential or direct access method of the intended DBMS.Current data base design technology shows many residual effects of its outgrowth from single-record file design methods. File design is primarily application program dependent since the data has been defined and structured in terms of individual applications to use them. The advent of DBMS revised the emphasis in data and program design approaches.There are many interlocking questions in the design of data-base systems and many types of technique that one can use is answer to the question so many; in fact, that one often sees valuable approaches being overlooked in the design and vital questions not being asked.There will soon be new storage devices, new software techniques, and new types of data bases. The details will change, but most of the principles will remain. Therefore, the reader should concentrate on the principles.2、Data base systemThe conception used for describing files and data bases has varied substantially in the same organization.A data base may be defined as a collection of interrelated data stored together with as little redundancy as possible to serve on or more applications in an optimal fashion; the data are stored so that they are independent of programs which use thedata; a common and controlled approach is used in adding new data and in modifying and retrieving existing data within the data base. One system is said to contain a collection of data bases if they are entirely separate in structure.A data base may be designed for batch processing, real-time processing, or in-line processing. A data base system involve application program, DBMS, and data base.One of the most important characteristics of most data bases is that they will constantly need to change and grow. Easy restructuring of the data base must be possible as new data types and new applications are added. The restructuring should be possible without having to rewrite the application program and in general should cause as little upheaval as possible. The ease with which a data base can be changed will have a major effect on the rate at which data-processing application can be developed in a corporation.The term data independence is often quoted as being one of the main attributes of a data base. It implies that the data and the application programs which use them are independent so that either may be changed without changing the other. When a single set of data items serves a variety of applications, different application programs perceive different relationships between the data items. To a large extent, data-base organization is concerned with the representation of relationship between data items and records as well as how and where the data are stored. A data base used for many applications can have multiple interconnections between the data item about which we may wish to record. It can describes the real world. The data item represents an attribute, and the attribute must be associated with the relevant entity. We design values to the attributes, one attribute has a special significance in that it identifies the entity.An attribute or set of attribute which the computer uses to identify a record or tuple is referred to as a key. The primary key is defined as that key used to uniquely identify one record or tuple. The primary key is of great importance because it is used by the computer in locating the record or tuple by means of an index or addressing algorithm.If the function of a data base were merely to store data, its organization would be simple. Most of the complexities arise from the fact that is must also show the relationships between the various items of data that are stored. It is different to describe the data in logical or physical.The logical data base description is referred to as a schema .A schema is a chart of the types of data that one used. It gives the names of the entities and attributes, and specifics the relations between them. It is a framework into which the values of the data-items can be fitted.We must distinguish between a record type and a instance of the record. When we talk about a “personnel record”,this is really a record type.There are no data values associated with it.The term schema is used to mean an overall chart of all of the dataitem types and record types stored in a data he uses. Many different subschema can be derived from one schema.The schema and the subschema are both used by the data-base management system, the primary function of which is to serve the application programs by executing their data operations.A DBMS will usually be handing multiple data calls concurrently. It must organize its system buffers so that different data operations can be in process together. It provides a data definition language to specify the conceptual schema and most likely, some of the details regarding the implementation of the conceptual schema by the physical schema. The data definition language is a high-level language, enabling one to describe the conceptual schema in terms of a “data model” .The choice of a data model is a difficult one, since it must be rich enough in structure to describe significant aspects of the real world, yet it must be possible to determine fairly automatically an efficient implementation of the conceptual schema by a physical schema. It should be emphasized that while a DBMS might be used to build small data bases, many data bases involve millions of bytes, and an inefficient implementation can be disastrous.We will discuss the data model in the following.3、Three Data ModelsLogical schemas are defined as data models with the underlying structure of particular database management systems superimposed on them. At the present time, there are three main underlying structures for database management systems. These are :RelationalHierarchicalNetworkThe hierarchical and network structures have been used for DBMS since the 1960s. The relational structure was introduced in the early 1970s.In the relational model, the entities and their relationships are represented by two-dimensional tables. Every table represents an entity and is made up of rows and columns. Relationships between entities are represented by common columns containing identical values from a domain or range of possible values.The last user is presented with a simple data model. His and her request are formulated in terms of the information content and do not reflect any complexities due to system-oriented aspects. A relational data model is what the user sees, but it is not necessarily what will be implemented physically.The relational data model removes the details of storage structure and access strategy from the user interface. The model provides a relatively higher degree of data. To be able to make use of this property of the relational data model however, the design of the relations must be complete and accurate.Although some DBMS based on the relational data model are commercially available today, it is difficult to provide a complete set of operational capabilities with required efficiency on a large scale. It appears today that technological improvements in providing faster and more reliable hardware may answer the question positively.The hierarchical data model is based on a tree-like structure made up of nodes and branches. A node is a collection of data attributes describing the entity at that point.The highest node of the hierarchical tree structure is called a root. The nodes at succeeding lower levels are called children .A hierarchical data model always starts with a root node. Every node consists of one or more attributes describing the entity at that node. Dependent nodes can follow the succeeding levels. The node in the preceding level becomes the parent node of the new dependent nodes. A parent node can have one child node as a dependent or many children nodes. The major advantage of the hierarchical data model is the existence of proven database management systems that use the hierarchical data model as the basic structure. There is a reduction of data dependency but any child node is accessible only through its parent node, the many-to –many relationship can be implemented only in a clumsy way. This often results in a redundancy in stored data.The network data model interconnects the entities of an enterprise into a network. In the network data model a data base consists of a number of areas. An area contains records. In turn, a record may consist of fields. A set which is a grouping of records, may reside in an area or span a number of areas. A set type is based on the owner record type and the member record type. The many-to many relation-ship, which occurs quite frequently in real life can be implemented easily. The network data model is very complex, the application programmer must be familiar with the logical structure of the data base.4、Logical Design and Physical DesignLogical design of databases is mainly concerned with superimposing the constructs of the data base management system on the logical data model. There are three mainly models: hierarchical, relational, network we have mentioned above.The physical model is a framework of the database to be stored on physical devices. The model must be constructed with every regard given to the performance of the resulting database. One should carry out an analysis of the physical model with average frequencies of occurrences of the grou pings of the data elements, with expected space estimates, and with respect to time estimates for retrieving and maintaining the data.The database designer may find it necessary to have multiple entry points into a database, or to access a particular segment type with more than one key. To provide this type of access; it may be necessary to invert the segment on the keys. Thephysical designer must have expertise in knowledge of the DBMS functions and understanding of the characteristics of direct access devices and knowledge of the applications.Many data bases have links between one record and another, called pointers. A pointer is a field in one record which indicates where a second record is located on the storage devices.Records that exist on storage devices is a given physical sequence. This sequencing may be employed for some purpose. The most common pupose is that records are needed in a given sequence by certain data-processing operations and so they are stored in that sequences.Different applications may need records in different sequences.The most common method of ordering records is to have them in sequence by a key —that key which is most commonly used for addressing them. An index is required to find any record without a lengthy search of the file.If the data records are laid out sequentially by key, the index for that key can be much smaller than they are nonsequential.Hashing has been used for addressing random-access storages since they first came into existence in the mid-1950s. But nobody had the temerity to use the word hashing until 1968.Many systems analysis has avoided the use of hashing in the suspicion that it is complicated. In fact, it is simple to use and has two important advantages over indexing. First, it finds most records with only one seek and second, insertion and deletions can be handled without added complexity. Indexing, however, can be used with a file which is sequential by prime key and this is an overriding advantage, for some batch-pro-cessing applications.Many data-base systems use chains to interconnect records also. A chain refers to a group of records scatters within the files and interconnected by a sequence of pointers. The software that is used to retrive the chained records will make them appear to the application programmer as a contiguous logical file.The primary disadvantage of chained records is that many read operations areneeded in order to follow lengthy chains. Sometimes this does not matter because the records have to be read anyway. In most search operations, however, the chains have to be followed through records which would not otherwise to read. In some file organizations the chains can be contained within blocked physical records so that excessive reads do not occur.Rings have been used in many file organizations. They are used to eliminate redundancy. When a ring or a chain is entered at a point some distance from its head, it may be desirable to obtain the information at the head quickly without stepping through all the intervening links.5、Data Description LanguagesIt is necessary for both the programmers and the data administrator to be able to describe their data precisely; they do so by means of data description languages. A data description language is the means of declaring to data-base management system what data structures will be used.A data description languages giving a logical data description should perform the folloeing functions:It should give a unique name to each data-item type, file type, data base and other data subdivision.It should identify the types of data subdivision such as data item segment , record and base file.It may define the type of encoding the program uses in the data items (binary , character ,bit string , etc.)It may define the length of the data items and the range of the values that a data item can assume .It may specify the sequence of records in a file or the sequence of groups of record in the data base .It may specify means of checking for errors in the data .It may specify privacy locks for preventing unauthorized reading or modification of the data .These may operate at the data-item ,segment ,record, file or data-base level and if necessary may be extended to the contents(value) of individual data items .The authorization may , on the other hand, be separate defined .It is more subject to change than the data structures, and changes in authorization proceduresshould not force changes in application programs.A logical data description should not specify addressing ,indexing ,or searching techniques or specify the placement of data on the storage units ,because these topics are in the domain of physical ,not logical organization .It may give an indication of how the data will be used or of searching requirement .So that the physical technique can be selected optimally but such indications should not be logically limiting.Most DBMS have their own languages for defining the schemas that are used . In most cases these data description languages are different to other programmer language, because other programmer do not have the capability to define to variety of relationship that may exit in the schemas.附录 B 外文译文1、软件工程软件是指令的序列,该指令序列由一种或者多种程序语言编写,它能使计算机应用于某些事物的运用自动化。
五年前和五年后家的变化英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1My Home: Then and NowIf you had visited my home five years ago, it would have seemed like a pretty ordinary place. Just a regular house in a regular neighborhood filled with the regular trappings of family life. But a lot can change in half a decade, and I expect my home to be quite different five years from now.Five Years AgoWhen I think back to 2019, I remember our home as being a cramped but cozy place. We lived in a three-bedroom ranch house that always felt just a little too small for our family of five. My parents' bedroom was tiny, with just enough space for their double bed and two nightstands. My brother and I shared the slightly larger room across the hall, our twin beds crammed into the corners.The living room served as the main gathering area, with an old but comfortable couch facing the TV. We didn't have cable, so we relied on streaming services and a pretty slow internetconnection for our entertainment. My brother and I would often argue over what to watch or play on the family computer, which was an ancient desktop PC set up on a small desk in the corner.Our kitchen was stuck in the 1980s, with dingy white appliances, wood-paneled cabinets, and a hideous mustard yellow color on the walls. But it was functional and the dining table provided a place for us to enjoy my mom's home cooked meals together every night as a family.In the backyard, we had a pretty basic patio area with an old charcoal grill and some plastic patio furniture. The lawn was mostly crabgrass and weeds, despite my dad's efforts. We had an ancient rusting swing set that my brother and I had basically outgrown by 2019. Overall, it was a humble but comfortable home for our middle-class family.Five Years From NowFast forward to 2029 though, and I imagine my home is going to look dramatically different. For one, I don't think we'll still be living in that same little ranch house. My parents have been talking about either doing a huge renovation and addition or potentially moving to a bigger place once my brother and I have graduated high school and moved out.Whichever path they choose, I'm sure the physical structure and layout is going to be radically transformed. Maybe we'll have a huge open concept layout on the main floor with a gourmet kitchen featuring high-end stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a massive island for casual dining and entertaining. I could see adding a four-seasons sunroom off the back as well, creating a comfortable indoor/outdoor living space.In the living room, I bet we'll get rid of that old couch and chair set and replace it with some modern, minimalistic furniture. More of a grown-up, sophisticated look. And of course we'd have a huge 4K or even 8K flat screen TV mounted over the fireplace. We'll definitely need to upgrade our internet as well for streaming ultra high-definition video, gaming, and whatever new tech emerges in the coming years.I could definitely picture the bedrooms getting an overhaul too. My parents may redo the master suite to have a huge walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom with a luxurious glass shower and separate soaking tub. Maybe my old bedroom would get transformed into a home office or gym once I've moved out.On the technology front, I'm sure smart home devices like intelligent assistants, home automation systems, and the latest Internet of Things gadgets will be integrated throughout thehouse. Lights, climate control, security, entertainment - all of it seamlessly controlled by voice commands, apps, or even just automatically adjusting based on our routines and preferences. We'll probably have some kind of home energy management system too for monitoring and reducing our electricity and heating/cooling usage.Outside, I could see us finally landscaping the backyard properly. Maybe adding a slick composite or stone patio area along with some fancy outdoor furniture - couches, a firepit table, even an outdoor kitchen and bar area. Upscale landscaping with sculpted gardens, pathways, exterior lighting, and the perfect lush green lawn. If budget allowed, a swimming pool or hot tub wouldn't be out of the question either!For transportation, I'm sure we'll be part of the electric and self-driving vehicle revolution by 2029. Some kind of modern electric or hybrid car for my parents, maybe even a self-driving model that could whisk them off to work while they relax. And for me, assuming I'm out of college, I'd love to have an efficient and eco-friendly electric motorcycle, scooter, or maybe even a self-driving el-car for zipping around the city.That's just scratching the surface too. Who knows what other new technologies will become mainstream by then? Powerfulhome computing setups, virtual reality entertainment systems, domestic robotics, 3D printing at home, smart appliances and infrastructure... the possibilities are endless for upgrading and enhancing our home life.Of course, with all these potential upgrades and improvements, the downside is the cost. While we were a pretty typical middle-class household five years ago, we may need to be significantly more affluent to afford that kind of higher-end, high-tech lifestyle in 2029. Part of me wonders if we'll even still be in the same town and neighborhood, or if we'll need to move somewhere new to match our changed economic situation.So in many ways, I expect my home environment could shift dramatically over the next five years. While the cozy, lived-in house I grew up in was certainly humble, a new era of automation, smart technology, and modern luxury seems to be on the horizon. Only time will tell just how cutting edge and advanced my family's home ends up becoming. But I'm definitely excited to imagine all the mind-blowing possibilities! After all, my childhood home will always hold a special sense of nostalgia and fond memories for me, but who wouldn't want to take advantage of the latest in futuristic living?篇2My Home: Then, Now, and Looking AheadAs I sit here in my childhood bedroom, I can't help but reflect on how much this space has transformed over the years. When I think back to five years ago, it's almost like recalling a different lifetime. The walls were a bright, vibrant blue that myeight-year-old self had insisted on, and the floor was a constant battlefield of Lego bricks and discarded toys. But now, as a teenager on the cusp of adulthood, my room has undergone a metamorphosis that mirrors my own personal growth.Five years ago, my bed was a cozy little racecar that I would excitedly dive into each night, imagining myself as a skilled driver navigating the twists and turns of an exhilarating racetrack. Nowadays, that whimsical piece of furniture has been replaced by a more mature, albeit less thrilling, queen-sized bed. The walls have shed their bold hue in favor of a more muted, calming gray – a reflection of my newfound appreciation for minimalism and serenity.Perhaps the most significant change, however, is the addition of a desk tucked neatly into the corner of my room. This humble workspace has become the command center for my academic pursuits, playing host to countless hours of studying, writing, and the occasional bout of procrastination (we're allguilty of that, aren't we?). Its surface is a testament to theever-increasing demands of my education, with textbooks, notebooks, and the occasional energy drink can vying for real estate.But my room isn't the only thing that has transformed over the past five years; our entire home has undergone a remarkable evolution. The once-vibrant living room, where my siblings and I would engage in raucous playtime, has now become a more subdued space for family gatherings and the occasional movie night. The kitchen, once a whirlwind of culinary chaos, has been remodeled into a sleek, modern oasis where my parents can indulge their newfound passion for gourmet cooking.As I look ahead to the next five years, I can only imagine the changes that await our humble abode. Perhaps my bedroom will undergo yet another transformation, shedding its remnants of adolescence and embracing a more sophisticated, adult aesthetic. Or maybe the living room will be repurposed into a cozy home office, as remote work becomes increasingly prevalent.One thing is certain, though: our home will continue to evolve, just as our family does. The walls that have witnessed our laughter, our tears, and our growth will bear the scars of time,each scratch and dent a cherished memory etched into the very fabric of our lives.In five years, I may very well be writing this essay from the comfort of a college dorm room or a cozy apartment in a new city. But no matter where life takes me, this house – with all its quirks, its history, and its ever-changing nature – will always be my home. It is the canvas upon which the masterpiece of my life has been painted, and I can't wait to see what the next five years have in store for this remarkable place.篇3My Home: Then, Now, and In Five YearsHome is where the heart is, or so the saying goes. For me, home has always been a place of comfort, familiarity, and cherished memories. However, just as life is a constant journey of change and growth, so too does the place we call home evolve and transform over time. As I reflect on the past five years and contemplate the next five, I can't help but marvel at the remarkable metamorphosis my humble abode has undergone and the exciting prospects that lie ahead.Five Years AgoHalf a decade ago, our home was a modest two-story dwelling, nestled in a quiet suburban neighborhood. The faded beige exterior stood as a testament to the years of laughter, tears, and memories it had witnessed. Inside, the decor was a delightful fusion of hand-me-down furniture and thrift store finds, each piece holding a story of its own.The living room was the heart of our home, where we gathered for movie nights, board game battles, and lively discussions. The well-worn couches, adorned with mismatched throw pillows, invited us to sink in and let the stress of the day melt away. The rickety coffee table, with its chipped veneer and countless water ring stains, served as a canvas for our creativity, adorned with half-finished jigsaw puzzles and scattered art supplies.Down the hall, the kitchen was a symphony of organized chaos. Mismatched plates and mugs adorned the open shelves, a testament to our eclectic tastes and the many yard sales we frequented. The ancient oven, with its temperamental nature, challenged our culinary skills, but the aroma of freshly baked cookies or a sizzling Sunday roast made every effort worthwhile.Upstairs, our bedrooms were sanctuaries of self-expression. My room, with its vibrant blue walls and posters of my favoritebands, reflected my teenage spirit. My sister's domain, adorned with delicate fairy lights and an ever-growing collection of stuffed animals, was a whimsical escape from reality.Despite its quirks and imperfections, our home was a tapestry woven with love, laughter, and cherished memories. It was a place where we could be ourselves, a haven from the outside world, and a constant reminder of the unbreakable bonds that tied our family together.Present DayFast forward to the present, and our home has undergone a remarkable transformation. The once-faded exterior now boasts a fresh coat of crisp white paint, complemented by a meticulously landscaped garden that bursts with vibrant hues in every season. Inside, the decor has been given a modern facelift, blending contemporary styles with sentimental pieces from our past.The living room has shed its well-worn charm in favor of sleek, minimalist furnishings. A plush sectional sofa invites us to lounge in comfort, while a state-of-the-art entertainment system promises immersive movie experiences. Yet, amidst the modern touches, the same rickety coffee table remains, a beloved relic that anchors us to our roots.The kitchen, once a hub of chaos, has been transformed into a chef's dream. Gleaming stainless steel appliances and ample counter space make meal preparation a breeze, while theopen-concept design seamlessly connects the cooking area to the adjacent dining room, fostering a sense of togetherness during mealtimes.Upstairs, our bedrooms have evolved to reflect our changing tastes and lifestyles. My sanctuary now exudes a calming, minimalist aesthetic, with plush textiles and soft lighting creating a serene oasis for rest and rejuvenation. My sister's room, once a whimsical wonderland, has matured into a chic and sophisticated space, complete with a cozy reading nook and a meticulously organized walk-in closet.While the physical structure of our home has undergone a remarkable transformation, its essence remains unchanged. It is still a place where we can retreat from the world, a sanctuary that shelters us from life's storms, and a canvas upon which we can paint new memories and experiences.Five Years From NowAs I gaze into the proverbial crystal ball, I can't help but wonder what the next five years hold for our ever-evolving home. Will it continue to adapt to our changing needs and preferences,or will we outgrow its confines and seek a new dwelling altogether?One possibility is that our home will undergo a significant expansion or renovation to accommodate a growing family. Perhaps we'll add a cozy sunroom, perfect for lazy Sunday mornings with a steaming cup of coffee and a good book. Or maybe we'll finally tackle that long-awaited kitchen remodel, creating a gourmet haven that would make even the most seasoned chef envious.Alternatively, we may seek a fresh start in a new location, trading the familiar comforts of our current abode for the excitement of a new adventure. A charming countryside cottage, nestled amidst rolling hills and babbling brooks, could beckon us to embrace a slower, more serene pace of life. Or perhaps the allure of the city will prove irresistible, drawing us to a chic urban loft where we can immerse ourselves in the vibrant pulse of metropolitan living.Regardless of the path our home takes, one thing is certain: it will continue to be a reflection of our ever-evolving journey through life. Just as our family grows and changes, so too will the walls that shelter us, adapting to our needs, aspirations, and cherished moments.Whether we remain in our current dwelling or embark on a new adventure, our home will forever be a sanctuary, a place where memories are made and love is nurtured. It will be a canvas upon which we can paint the vibrant hues of our lived experiences, a tapestry woven with the threads of laughter, tears, and the countless moments that make life worth living.In the end, home is not merely a physical structure; it is a state of being, a feeling that transcends brick and mortar. It is the place where our hearts reside, where our souls find solace, and where we can truly be ourselves. And as I stand on the precipice of the next five years, I eagerly anticipate the transformations and adventures that await, secure in the knowledge that wherever life takes us, home will always be a constant, a grounding force amidst the ever-changing tides of time.。

2.翻译题Directions: Translate the following passage into English. Write your translation on the Answer Sheet.中国式问候吃饭时间,“你吃了吗?”是中国人最常用的问候语。
不理解这种风俗的外国人会认为这是在邀请一起吃饭。
但是,这仅仅是简单的问候,不是真的在发出邀请,所以可以回答“吃了,我吃过了。
”或者说“没有,我还没吃。
”除了“你吃了吗?”,中文中还有其他打招呼的方式,比如说“去哪儿?”、“忙吗?”、“干什么呢?”、“去上班?”等等。
我们可以发现中国人问候的时候喜欢问别人在做什么,做了什么,要做什么。
【答案】Chinese greeting“Have you eaten?” is a common greeting among Chinese when it is the time for a meal. Foreigners who do not understand this kind of custom might regard this as an invitation to have a meal together. However, this is just a simple greeting, not a real invitation, so can reply with “Yes, I have eaten.” or “No, not yet.” In addition to “Have you eaten?”, there are many other expressions for saying hello in Chinese, like “Where are you going?”, “Are you busy?”, “What are you doing?”, “Are you going to work?”, etc. We can find that when Chinese people greet each other, they like to ask about the things others are doing, just did or are going to do.3.单选题I () on a book with him.

How, in your view, does language relate to thought and culture?The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is the view on the interdependence of language, culture and thought. The hypothesis has been interpreted in two ways. One is known as determinism. In this view our language determines our thinking. The other interpretation, known as relativism, has drawn more attention in the late 1990s. This view holds that culture affects the way we think through language, especially in our classification of the experienced world.Ⅰ、Turn the following linguistic terms into Chinese(15 points):1、adjacency pair ( )2、allophone ( )3、bound morpheme ( )4、cooperative principle ( )5、diachronic study ( )6、distinctive feature ( )7、free variation ( )8、hyponymy ( )9、ideational function ( ) 10、illocutionary act ( ) 11、linguistic relativity ( ) 12、metafunction ( ) 13、minimal pairs ( ) 14、paradigmatic relation ( ) 15、signifier ( )1 毗邻语对2 音位变体3 粘着词素4 合作原则5 历时性研究6 区别性特征7 自由变体8 上下义关系9 概念功能10 言外行为11 语言相对论/语言相关性12 元功能/纯理功能13 最小对立体14 聚合关系15能指/施指Ⅱ、Fill in the blanks(25 points):1、Halliday proposes a theory of metafunctions of language, that is, languagehas __ , ___ and ___ functions.1 ideational,interpersonal,textual2、Saussure’s __linguistics is the study of a language through the course of itshistory. 2 diachronic3、The speech organs include the___ cavity, the___ cavity and the ___ cavity.3 oral,nasal,pharyngeal4、Among all grammars, four appear to be well recognized, namely, traditionalgrammar, structural grammar, ___ and ___ grammar.4 transformational-generative,systemic-functional5、Human languages can be used to describe themselves.

Discuss two contrasting views with reference to the behaviorist and nativist models.1 Two contrasting theories of child language acquisition have been proposed by linguists, namely, the behaviorist view and the nativist view. The behaviorist view: Language acquisition is a process of habit formation. Language is learned through stimulus and response. Reinforcement of selected responses is the key to understand language development. Children learn to produce correct sentences because they are positively reinforced when they say something right and negatively reinforced when they say something wrong. The nativist view: Language acquisition is the species-specific property of human beings. Children are born with an innate ability to acquire language, and they acquire their native language using principles unique to language development.1.General linguistics is based on the view that language as a system, whichis composed of three aspects: sound, structure and meaning.T2.The total number of words stored in the brain is called morphology.F3.The sentence “The woman can’t bear children.”is structurallyambiguous.F4.Categorization refers to the process by which people use language toclassify the world around and inside them.T5.Metaphors can create similarities between the target domain and thesource domain.T6.According to referential content, deixis can be put into person deixis, placedeixis, time deixis and discourse deixis.T7.Phrase structure rules are rules that specify the constituents of syntacticcategories.T8.Modality can be categorized into Probability and Usuality.F9.Age is not the learner factor that has been an issue in second languageacquisition research.F10.Register, as a variety of language in use, is analyzed on three dimensions:field, mode and tenor.T11.Associative meanings are meanings that hinge on referential meaning.T12.Intonation is the variation of pitch to distinguish utterance meaning.T13.Varieties of language are of four types: the standard variety, regionaldialects, sociodialects and registers.T14.The word “went” contains two morphemes.T15.The approach that analyzes word meaning by decomposing it into its atomicfeatures is called componential analysis.TII.

Will Model-based Definition replace engineering drawings throughout the product lifecycle?A global perspective from aerospace industryVirgilio Quintana a ,*,Louis Rivest a ,Robert Pellerin b ,Fre´de ´rick Venne a ,Fawzi Kheddouci a a Department of Automated Production Engineering,Ecole de Technologie Superieure,1100Notre-Dame West,Montreal,Quebec,H3C 1K3,CanadabDepartment of Mathematics and Industrial Engineering,Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal,2500Chemin de Polytechnique,Montreal,Quebec,H3T 1J4,Canada1.IntroductionTechnical drawings have played a fundamental role in man’s progress from the time of the ancient pyramids and the classical Parthenon to the geodesic domes and Skylabs of today [1].Traditionally,drawings are used for communication in industry because they are the clearest way to tell someone what to make and how to make it [2].They are considered as a graphic universal language.The fundamental purpose of an engineering drawing is to carry,control and maintain a product’s definition in a precise and clear way with no risk of misinterpretation or assumption.Technical drawings provide a means to communicate complexity in a comprehensible and effective manner thanks to visual abstraction [3].A set or working drawings convey all the facts fully and explicitly,so that further instructions are not required [4].Since the 1980s,the advent of solid modeling and specialized drafting software packages have contributed significantly to streamlining the production of engineering drawings.Along these lines,Chen et al.[5]developed an intelligent approach for generating assembly drawings automatically from three-dimen-sional computer assembly models of mechanical products.Since the integration of CAD systems within the product development process has become the standard,engineering drawings are nolonger considered as primary product definition sources or as master representations of products.Indeed,providing a product’s geometry through the use of solid models can bring advantages that would not otherwise be possible by maintaining a 2D static definition of the product.As solid modeling has evolved,several analysis systems have been created to analyze more precisely how a designer would design and manufacture products [6].Digital mockup activities such as the assembly process simulation for early detection of interferences can be supported.Digital mannequins can be used to simulate the manufacturing process and identify assembly issues in a digital manufacturing environ-ment [7].Solid models serve as a basis for computer-aided manufacturing (CAM).Numeric-controlled mills and lathes can import a mathematically accurate 3D model to cut prototypes or for tooling [8].In addition,solid models enable the production of rapid prototyping models.With solid modeling,photorealistic renderings allow marketing materials and product packaging to be produced well before the physical product even exists [9].Technical publications,illustrated parts’catalogs and training materials can be developed concurrently with product design.Solid models are now responsible for defining a product’s geometry,which has become a secondary (and redundant)function of engineering drawings.However,engineering drawings not only convey geometric information.Many properties other than geometry are modeled or specified in an engineering drawing (dimensions,tolerances,surface condition,heat treatment,mate-rial,manufacturing processes,assembly and operational data,etc.).Computers in Industry 61(2010)497–508A R T I C L E I N F O Article history:Received 3February 2009Received in revised form 13September 2009Accepted 29January 2010Available online 1March 2010Keywords:MBDModel-based Definition Engineering drawing Product lifecycle CADA B S T R A C TThe Model-based Definition (MBD)approach is gaining popularity in various industries.MBD represents a trend in Computer-aided Design (CAD)that promises reduced time-to-market and improved product quality.Its main goal is to improve and accelerate the design,manufacturing and inspection processes by integrating drawing annotations directly onto a 3D model,therefore obviating the need to generate engineering drawings.However,its implementation throughout the whole product lifecycle has not yet been fully adopted.Traditional engineering drawings still play an essential part in the capture and distribution of non-geometric information.Based on thirty-four interviews conducted within the Engineering,Drafting,Configuration Management,Airworthiness and Certification,Manufacturing,Inspection and Knowledge Management departments from two Canadian Aerospace companies,the objective of this paper is to report on the main barriers that need to be overcome in order to fully implement the MBD initiative.In addition,the necessary elements and specific requirements needed to evaluate the capacities of emergent tools are proposed.ß2010Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.*Corresponding author.Tel.:+15146038749;fax:+15143968595.E-mail address:virgilio.quintana.1@ens.etsmtl.ca (V.Quintana).Contents lists available at

considered as the product’s master representation,engineering drawings are currently still produced.From a technical standpoint,it is now possible to add dimensions,tolerances and notes to3D geometric models in a generally agreed way.Driven by the aerospace and automotive industries,the American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME) issued,in2003,the ASME Y14.41standard[11]in response to the need to utilize3D CAD data as manufacturing and/or inspection sources;thus,allowing2D drawings to be phased out[12].With new advances in CAD solutions,it is possible to insert GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing)data as well as notes directly into the CAD model,forming what is known as an MBD (Model-based Definition)dataset.An MBD dataset contains the3D geometry and3D annotation of the product’s dimensions and tolerances(and may include parts/notes lists)for a complete product definition.MBD can be viewed as the next logical step in the2D to3D transition.By eliminating the need to generate2D drawings,product development costs and delays can be reduced by improving and accelerating the product delivery cycle.In2004,Toyota Motorsport announced that they were involved in a drawing-less project where the conception, manufacturing and inspection of engine components were carried out in a digital environment[13].The Boeing B-777was one of the first1in the aircraft industry to have a100%digital definition. Digital data were used to drive the manufacturing processes whenever possible.The entire aircraft assembly was simulated using digital techniques[14].Aerospace and defense industries are making use of the MBD concept to compose,detail and annotate views of3D models for specific downstream groups such as manufacturing,planning,product services,procurement and marketing/sales[15].Currently,the Canadian aerospace industry,to increase its competitiveness,is seeking to eliminate the need to rely on traditional engineering drawings(whether electronic or paper-based)in the management of a product’s definition.In fact,a research project to assess the feasibility of eliminating the need to generate engineering drawings as a way of reducing product development costs and delays was launched within two aerospace companies.At this point,it is important to mention that the drawing-less initiative should not be confused with the paper-less trend which emerged about20years ago.While the increasing importance of various digital models reduces the role of traditional engineering drawings,these drawings still contribute to the capture and distribution of non-geometric information as well as in the long-term storage of product definitions.Specifically,based on our observations within these two companies,engineering drawings are still employed to validate,release,manage,maintain and store product definitions(50+years).Therefore,it is appropriate to ask the following questions:What are the main barriers that must be overcome in order to transfer all of the different functions of engineering drawings to digital models within the product lifecycle?What are the legal requirements that must be fulfilled?What are the required MBD datasets’char-acteristics and what specific tools need to be put in place in order to move to a complete MBD environment?The main objective of this paper is to report on the reasons why industries are still relying on engineering drawings throughout the product lifecycle.The information presented is the result of thirty-four interviews conducted within the Engineering,Drafting, Configuration Management,Airworthiness and Certification,Manufacturing,Inspection and Knowledge Management depart-ments from two Canadian aerospace companies.Based on initial discussions with the companies involved,these seven departments were selected since they represent the business functions that are mainly impacted by the adoption of the MBD approach.A total of 23persons(from these different departments)were interviewed from October2007to August2009.It is estimated that a total of 100h were spent on interviewing activities.The paper is structured as follows:The MBD concept is presentedfirst in order to describe its characteristics and capabilities.Next,the technical issues,legal aspects and process issues that delay the adoption of an MBD approach are outlined.Also,within this section,the functions assigned to the engineering drawings that are still in use will be characterized.The MBD datasets’required characteristics are then stated,specific requirements to evaluate the capacities of emergent visualization tools are proposed and MBD criteria for long-term storage purposes are provided.Finally,MBD open issues are discussed.2.The Model-based Definition conceptThe central concept embodied in Model-based Definition is that the3D product model is the most appropriate vehicle for delivery of all of the detailed product information necessary for down-stream organizations to perform their portion of the product delivery cycle[15].Companies can best benefit from3D modeling when the solid model can act as a central conduit for the information required by all of the members of the engineering team[16].An MBD dataset contains the exact solid,its associated3D geometry,and3D annotations2of the product’s dimensions and tolerances(and may include parts/notes lists)to specify a complete product definition.This dataset does not contain a conventional2D drawing.The3D annotations are placed on planar views called annotation planes.They remain associated to the model and can be visualized within a3D environment.Fig.1shows a connecting rod as an example of an MBD dataset,and incorporates both the product’s geometry and3D annotations.MBD is one possible format of Digital Product Definition.The electronic data elements that specify the3D CAD geometry and all the design requirements for a product(including notation and parts lists)form a Digital Product Definition(DPD)dataset[17].The ASME Y14.41standard provides thefirst comprehensive standard for annotating3D models with GD&T with the objective of viewing the content in3D[16].This standard did not change the methodology for constructing tolerances and dimension annota-tions,but provides standard rules for the display,orientation,and query of the annotations when they are completely stored in a3D model instead of as part of a drawing[16].In addition,CAD solutions such as CATIA[13]and NX[18]offer3D annotation tools to support the MBD concept.2.1.MBD benefitsWhile the benefits associated with CAD/CAM improvements were mentioned earlier,benefits expected from MBD are briefly reviewed here.Today’s design practice often creates redundant design definitions by releasing a3D model and a drawing of the same part.An MBD dataset provides a single-source definition,and thereby eliminates potential conflicts between CAD and paper1The Falcon7X jet from Dassault Aviation is also considered as one of thefirst to have100%digital definition–/DocDoif/cpf/2004/2004-01143501.PDF–visited on August30th,2009.2These3D annotations are commonly referred as PMI(Product Manufacturing Information)data by commercial CAD literature.However,the authors believe that PMI is a misleading term because the primary purpose of these annotations is to represent the product’s physical and functional requirements and are not exclusively for manufacturing purposes.V.Quintana et al./Computers in Industry61(2010)497–508 498drawings [17].Deviations between the model and the drawing result in non-value added drawing revisions [19].The information is electronically available,so there is less human interpretation and almost no re-creation [20].The annotated 3D model,which is used as a single master,is more efficient for product development than the two or more technical drawings used today [21].By applying the MBD concept there should be no need to manage and control two separate files:for the 3D model and the 2D drawing.Time and database space could eventually be saved by managing and storing only one file.Downstream users also benefit from this file reduction.One estimate suggests that for every 3D CAD user in design,engineering,or manufacturing,there are thirty potential users of data in marketing,product documentation,sales,support,customer service,and beyond [22].During a redesign of the T-45horizontal stabilator,Boeing was engaged in a Virtual Product Development approach where the entire product design,tooling and manufacturing processes,prior to fabricating parts or tools,were verified virtually and thus the need to generate MIL-STD-1002D drawings was eliminated.Through the application of this approach,they achieved a 62%reduction in product development time and a 42%reduction in development costs [23].The value of digital models is directly proportional to the complexity of the product being marketed or maintained [24].It requires training and time to understand complicated parts in a drawing.With 3D MBD datasets,no particular technical expertise is required,since they provide a realistic view of designs [25].The user can easily understand the geometry as well as its associated GD&T data by simply manipulating (translating,rotating,zooming,etc.)the model [26].MBD datasets are also capable of providing information that is contained implicitly.The model can be interrogated in order to extract additional information such as taking specific measure-ments or making special sections.CAD software tools that allow the creation of MBD datasets offer the following functionalities:selectivity—the user can choose to display only selected 3D annotations in order to organize,capture and recall annotations,and associativity—3D annotations are associative,i.e.they update when the geometry changes [20].These tools enable the input of semantic GD&T data (a perpendicularity constraint cannot be placed on surfaces that are not perpendicular,for example)and the automatic creation of dimensions and tolerances based on the model’s features.In addition,MBD annotations can be used for tolerance stack-up analysis [19].Traditionally,the inspection process has been carried out using 2D-toleranced drawings derived from 3D data,since there was no GD&T information attached to the solid model.The MBD concept is changing this approach [27].In order to facilitate the inspection process,model-based inspection software is being developed,which will be able to read GD&T data attached to a solid model,minimizing operator input during the development of CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines)programs and thus improving the accuracy and integrity of the inspection process [27].The software will check contour and hole positions as well as constraints such as flatness,concentricity and angularity [28].It will also allow operators of CMM devices to set up automated inspection routines,ensuring that parts can be inspected in the same way,in the same places and with the correct tolerances every time [28].Perhaps one of the greatest benefits of the MBD concept is that it can capture design intent very early in the productdevelopmentFig.1.Example of an MBD dataset.V.Quintana et al./Computers in Industry 61(2010)497–508499process.Traditionally,the drafter explicitly captures the GD&T information on engineering drawings only after completing the solid model.Now this information can be captured directly on the solid model as the geometry is defined and evolves [20].3.Issues raised by the use of MBD datasetsAdopting MBD appears to be the next logical step to continue reducing time-to-market and improve product quality.Ideally,by fully applying the MBD concept,the product definition will no longer rely on engineering drawings throughout the product lifecycle (from a product’s initial conception to its retirement).The MBD dataset would be the only product definition carrier,serving as the central information source for all business functions.As the product design evolves,physical and functional requirements as well as manufacturing information and management data will be added as required.The product lifecycle based on the MBD concept is shown in Fig.2a.3However,in the two aerospace companies studied,the production of engineering drawings remains a substantial activity.Even though solid models are used throughout the product development phases,the generation of engineering drawings is indeed required.This is shown in Fig.2b.At the Conceptual Designphase,a sketch or general arrangement drawing is created.At this stage,the basic concepts of the design are being assessed and adjusted to meet the various market requirements [29].In general,once the Conceptual Design phase has been successfully complet-ed,the design intent is represented by a series of solid models during the next design phase,known as Preliminary Design.These solid models have enough content to perform a set of virtual analyses (kinematic,thermal,stress,etc.)in order to confirm and validate the design’s intent;thus eliminating the need for drawings as working documents during this phase.However,the solid model alone does not represent all of the product definition data.Typically,when the design intent has reached a certain level of maturity (pre-production status)at the detail design phase,the product definition relies on a separate product definition docu-ment known as an engineering drawing (based on the solid model)where this data is complemented (GD&T and other design requirements which complete the design intent as well as identification and management information are explicitly added),transformed,adapted and formatted so that it can be used and manipulated by the product definition consumers.At the final design phase,both solid models and engineering drawings are released for production (production status).The consumers will,in turn,exploit this data to perform specific tasks which will eventually lead to the physical realization of the design intent.During the production release phase,both solid models and drawings will coexist.Solid models and drawings work in relaysasparison of two product lifecycle scenarios.3Figures inspired from the Dimensioning and Tolerancing Handbook by Drake Paul,1999.V.Quintana et al./Computers in Industry 61(2010)497–508500product definition carriers all along the different phases of the product lifecycle.Two sources of product definition thus coexist in such a product development process.Moving to a full MBD environment raises,among others, technical,process and legal(related to the Certification Process) issues for the companies involved.Each of these issues will be treated separately in the next paragraphs.3.1.Technical issuesThe study of eliminating engineering drawings involved evaluating the feasibility of transposing drawing annotations into a3D model.According to the ASME Y14.1-2005[30]standard, dimensions,tolerances,notes,text and symbols visible without any manual or external manipulation are considered to be annotations.Eleven sample drawings from the two aerospace companies,ranging from low,medium and high-level complexity (in terms of total number of annotations,views and pages)were selected.These drawings are described in Table1[31,32].From all of the different types of drawings generated during the product lifecycle(layouts,sketches,detail,assembly,installation,produc-tion and outline drawings)only detail and assembly drawings were chosen because it was determined that they were the ones most frequently generated;so,we could globally capture greater savings(in terms of costs and delays)by eliminating them.The transposition exercise involved moving the annotations from the2D drawings to the3D model.It was performed using3D annotation tools;specifically the FT&A(Functional Tolerancing and Annotation)module from CATIA V5R17SP6and the DimXpert and Annotation modules from Solidworks2008SP2.1.Only dimensions,tolerances and general notes were transposed—and not the annotations from title and revision history blocks.This transposition exercise yielded an average overall feasibility rate of 96%suggesting that there are real opportunities for3D digital models to replace traditional2D engineering drawings[31,32]. Basically,the reasons why a small number of drawing annotations were not transposed into the MBD dataset were due to limitations at the3D annotation tool and industry practice levels(i.e.the annotation in question reflects an industry practice which is no longer meaningful within the3D environment)[31].On average, there is afile size reduction of about25–30%between the2D drawing plus the non-annotated3D model and the MBD dataset. Certainly,having an MBD dataset obviates the need to handle both the2D drawing and the3D model.In addition,deviations between the drawing and the model are eliminated.However,no time reduction was achieved by adding annotations to the3D model compared to adding annotations to a drawing.This is because3D annotation tools are,in general,very similar to those used for adding annotations to2D drawings(commonly known as drafting tools).3.2.Process issuesEngineering drawings are subjected to a document lifecycle which includes data preservation,storage,destruction,security and transportation.They represent intellectual property,and are valued as evidence and as information[33].Traditionally,engineering drawings are the documents that are used to communicate the product definition to downstream users in an explicit,clear,concise,non-ambiguous and understandable way throughout the product lifecycle.They have specific functions and play an active role in product processes.Their main function is to distribute the product definition among different groups such as manufacturing,purchasing,quality,inspection,service,procure-ment,marketing,technical publications,logistical support,etc.,as well as customers,suppliers and federal authorities so that they can perform their part of the product delivery cycle.Based on the outcome from interviews and in accordance with Versprille report[15],changing to a full MBD environment raises concerns in regards to:(a)Data accessibility and visualization—the majority of down-stream users(including suppliers and customers)do not have access to CAD software,and therefore a visualization tool that allows them to read and use MBD datasets will have to be adopted;(b)Data content—downstream users need to be confident that theMBD datasets will carry the drawing’s core and the required management elements that will be discussed in Section4.1.1;(c)Data presentation—engineering drawings follow internationalstandards in terms of how the data is organized and structured and so must MBDs;(d)Data management—an appropriate method must be put in placein order to manage and record revisions of MBD datasets; (e)Data security—a mechanism that incorporates security features(confidentiality,authentication,integrity and non-repudiation) when accessing,exchanging and interacting with MBD datasets will be required;and(f)Data retention—typically only2D data is stored and used forlegal purposes.As mentioned earlier,engineering drawings play an active role in specific product processes.The main concern is whether the MBD dataset is going to adequately replace the specific role(s) engineering drawings play within these processes and what specific tools(visualization,collaboration,electronic approval, etc.)will be required in order to adequately interact with the MBDTable1Sample drawings from two Canadian aerospace companies.Item Type of part Total number of annotations a Number of pages

interviews were conducted)from both companies,the seven processes that are mainly impacted are listed below.(a)Request for quote.Purchasing needs to send drawings as early aspossible to potential suppliers in order to get quotes for the components that will be outsourced(traditionally,drawings are considered as the controlling contract document with customers and suppliers).(b)Validation and release.Drawings are considered as the means to‘‘freeze’’,validate and release the design intent,securing buyoff from customers,engineers and nontechnical design reviewers (drawings carry the official release of the product definition).(c)Manufacturing.Based on solid models and engineering draw-ings(delivered by the design group),process planners create process plans that rely on a progressive series of solid models and drawings.(d)Inspection.Prior to qualification,all parts will be inspectedagainst assembly or detail drawings(depending on the type of inspection being performed)in order to validate conformity.(e)Certification.This process will be discussed in detail in Section3.3since it is related to the legal aspects.(f)Engineering change management(ECM).This process deals withthe identification,analysis,modification,update,verification and approval of engineering drawings.Drawings are marked up(either physically or electronically)to indicate proposed modifications to stakeholders.Acceptance of an engineering change relies on a formal ECM process which consists of a series of well-defined phases.(g)Long-term storage.Drawings,electronic,printed or micro-filmed,are the usual medium to safely and securely preserve the product definition,which allows for product maintenance and data reuse.In addition,the proper storage of drawings is necessary for product liability reasons(drawings become an auditable record of a product’s definition).The drawing retention time depends on the life of the product—in some cases it can extend over50years.On the other hand,moving to an MBD approach represents a cultural change.Versprille mentions that in order to overcome this cultural challenge management buy-in and the need for open communication(one-on-one meetings with consumers of the data)are required[15].In addition,training must be provided;in general downstream users do not have experience working with 3D models.3.3.Legal aspectsIn the Canadian aerospace industry,all certified products require government approval.This approval is basically granted by the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)and Transport Canada Civil Aviation(TCCA)through the Certification Process.The Federal Aviation Regulations are published as Title14of the U.S.Code of Federal Regulations.To facilitate the Certification Process,both companies have a delegation from TCCA,meaning that each company has certified TCCA representatives.In that sense,they are considered as Design Approval Organizations.The types of approvals they can get from FAA/TCCA are:Type Certificates,Product Certificates,and Mainte-nance Certificates,as well as Appliance Approvals and Technical Standard Order(TSO)Design Approvals.As a basis for certification,both companies must submit a certification package to TCCA/FAA authorities that contains the major assembly drawings,among many other documents(materi-als specifications,operations limitations,test plans,etc.)and conformance reports.TCCA/FAA will check,among other elements,the part number(s),the drawing revision level(to confirm if the product evolution was properly controlled and documented), critical dimensions,call-outs,etc.Their goal is to fully understand the design intent.In practice,only major assembly drawings are reviewed;however,detail drawings may be requested based on specific concerns or issues.Based on interviews with the TCCA representatives from both companies,TCCA/FAA authorities would beflexible to accept MBD datasets instead of engineering drawings during the Certification Process,as long as they can access and review all the data they need.This data must be in an understandable and robust form. TCCA authorities would expect a high level of certitude from the data they review;therefore the MBD datasets must be capable of maintaining data integrity,security and stability until the end of a product’s use[34](a period of over50years for the two companies).The most important aspect is that information must be available and accessible when needed.The data thus main-tained must be made available to the FAA for such routine activities as production inspection,surveillance,design change reviews,or any other reasons deemed necessary by the FAA[34].If there is a need to transmit MBD datasets to FAA/TCCA authorities this can be done electronically[35].Overall,based on our observations within the two companies, engineering drawings are relied upon for keeping data available and accessible;as well as for maintaining data integrity,quality and security throughout the whole product lifecycle.In addition, they provide data stability when information from previous versions needs to be retrieved.In that sense,they represent a confident and robust way to keep track of all changes(if something goes wrong one can always rely on drawings to safely and efficiently go back to a previous version).Within the product lifecycle context,drawings are traditionally considered as the official and legal documents that carry the history of a product’s evolution through time.Through the transposition exercise,it was shown that realistic opportunities exist for3D digital models to replace traditional2D engineering drawings;however,based on the outcome from the interviews some fundamental aspects require immediate attention in order to keep moving towards an MBD environment.The characteristics of MBD datasets must be determined.In addition, specific requirements for an MBD visualization application must be captured from downstream users’input.Also,in order to properly select a long-term data retention solution,the MBD criteria must be providedfirst.In the following section these aspects will be addressed.4.MBD requirements within the product lifecycleIn this section,some of the issues and concerns in regards to data content,data accessibility and visualization and data retention will be addressed by outlining specific requirements and criteria.4.1.Data content requirementsIn order to understand what the appropriate data content for MBD datasets should be,we mustfirst look at the information that is normally carried by engineering drawings4throughout the product lifecycle.Based on ASME Y14.1-2005[30]and ISO10209-1:1992[36],we begin by proposing a definition of an engineering drawing:a living engineering document that carries,controls and 4The term engineering drawing can be considered as a subset of the broader termknown as‘‘technical drawing’’which is applied to any drawing used to express technical ideas.However,in this paper we use the term engineering drawing instead of technical drawing because the implementation of MBD is currently aimed at engineering applications.V.Quintana et al./Computers in Industry61(2010)497–508 502。
