论文摘要
数字工程是工程学以利用数字技术的数字化转型，将在全球范围内进行。本文探讨了数字系统工程，旨在开发支持新兴数字工程的理论，方法，模型和工具。一项至关重要的任务是将工程文物数字化，从而使整个平台，生命周期和跨领域的信息共享。我们确定了重大挑战并实现数字技术；分析从传统工程到数字工程的过渡；定义核心概念，包括“数字化”，“唯一标识”，“数字化文物”，“数字增强”等；在四个层面上介绍数字系统工程的全局：视觉，策略，行动和基础；简要讨论研究问题的每个主要领域。数字化可以快速注入和利用新颖的数字技术；唯一的识别可以使信息可追溯性和工程生命周期的问责制；出处可以追踪工程文物之间的依赖关系；支持模型的可重复性和可复制性；帮助对数字工程文物的可信赖性评估。
Digital Engineering, the digital transformation of engineering to leverage digital technologies, is coming globally. This paper explores digital systems engineering, which aims at developing theory, methods, models, and tools to support the emerging digital engineering. A critical task is to digitalize engineering artifacts, thus enabling information sharing across platform, across life cycle, and across domains. We identify significant challenges and enabling digital technologies; analyze the transition from traditional engineering to digital engineering; define core concepts, including "digitalization", "unique identification", "digitalized artifacts", "digital augmentation", and others; present a big picture of digital systems engineering in four levels: vision, strategy, action, and foundation; briefly discuss each of main areas of research issues. Digitalization enables fast infusing and leveraging novel digital technologies; unique identification enables information traceability and accountability in engineering lifecycle; provenance enables tracing dependency relations among engineering artifacts; supporting model reproducibility and replicability; helping with trustworthiness evaluation of digital engineering artifacts.
