Um framework para análise de custo de ciclo de vida baseado em reuso e interoperabilidade

Abstract

This thesis deals with the technical systems Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) problem, with the use of simulation tools, under reuse and interoperability visions. At first, the reuse and interoperability techniques and architectures, such as frameworks, generic elements, annotations, software architecture and design patterns in addition to the use of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) are reviewed and contextualized with respect to the present requirements for complex distributed simulations, also considered by the High Level Architecture (HLA). The ACCV basic principles are analyzed and their relationship to the Pilla and Cople Model is established. Based on this model a LCCA simulation framework was developed, using dynamic instances and trying to enjoy the computing power provided by parallel and distributed computing. Reuse and interoperability techniques have been analyzed and the best ones have been applied to the framework. An interface for data entry, simulation manager and data analysis was also developed. A test case was designed and used to test the reuse, interoperability and operation functionalities of the framework and the interface developed. These tests have demonstrated the operation, extension and interoperability capabilities of the framework and interface..
