Modern technologies as firm footing

RCP - Eclipse Rich Client Platform

PartMaster has deployed its product development consequently on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (Eclipse RCP) from 2004 on. This technology proved its value on the market due to its high flexibility, configurability and robustness and is increasingly used even in big software projects. Thus, the latest version of Lotus Notes (Version 8) is based on Eclipse RCP.

PLM Services - The OMG Specification

The ISO-Standard 10303 (STEP) has existed for more than ten years now. It determines a neutral exchange format for product data. The product data model for the automotive industry was determined in the STEP application protocol (AP) 214. It contains different Conformance Classes (CC), e.g. the CC6 for the product structure and the CC8 for vehicle configuration.

VDA4965 - Engineering Change Management

Based on the recommendation VDA 4965, automotive companies in co-operation with research institutes and software companies under the direction of the ProSTEP iViP Association are currently developing recommendations how to optimize the Engineering Change Management (ECM). They aim to harmonize the change process between project partners as well as to minimize the costs and efforts related to the processing of change processes.

JAXB - The Java Architecture for XML Binding

JAXB is a fast and simple method to connect a XML schema with a Java representation. This makes it easy to import XML data into Java, to process them there and save them as XML again.

JAXB can be used as alternative to DOM or SAX. The programming details for reading and writing XML data remain hidden. The access to these data is done according to relations defined in the XML schema. During this, JAXB is follows the Java-Beans-conventions.

MDA - Model Driven Architecture

Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a proceeding for modelling with the Unified Modelling Language (UML) recommended by the OMG. For the UML modelling, platform independent details were avoided at first (Platform Independent Model - PIM) and transferred to the target architecture by a 'Transformer' or 'Model Compiler' only later (Platform Specific Model - PSM).
