Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
While top-down System Engineering supports the definition of system boundaries and interfaces, practical implementation often proceeds in a bottom-up manner, resulting in the need for model integration of SysML models. This is currently hindered by inconsistent naming, different abstraction levels, and unclear interfaces. In this work, a novel approach to integration is proposed, utilizing RDF knowledge graphs and LLM-driven entity alignment with similarity thresholds to perform semantic fusion. A practical use case shows correct consolidation based on cosine similarity thresholds.
