Problem Statement: The purpose of this mini-project (homework assignment) is to gain experience in using ideas from ontologies to model relationships among entities in component-based modeling of systems.
Step 1. Download and read the paper by Vei-Chung Liang and Chris Paredis. While you are reading the paper, focus on the modeling of systems as an assembly of components, and the use of ports as a means of communication of stuff -- information, data, energy -- between components.
Step 2. Using the work of Liang and Paredis as a starting point, develop an ontology model for one of the following application domains:
Try to think of the ontology as a specification from which actual models would be built. If you are familiar with object-oriented software development, this line of thinking is similar to the notion of a class as a software specification, and objects as instances of the classes.
Note: My goal in setting the assignment up in this way is to provide freedom to work on an open-ended problem that is interesting and/or fun. If you are uncomfortable with the RDF graph notation covered in class, please use UML/SysML class/block diagrams as a substitute.
This mini-project (homework assignment) could be worth 20 percent of your final grade.
If your project works out really well, then by all means extend it into a semester project.
You may work in teams of two.
Hand in a report of the order 10-20 pages.
Electronic submission of your homework will be best.
