They cover a wide range of uses from functional modeling to data, simulation, object-oriented analysis and design, and knowledge acquisition. These definition languages were developed under funding from U.S. Air Force and, although still most commonly used by them and other military and United States Department of Defense (DoD) agencies, are in the public domain. The most-widely recognized and used components of the IDEF family are IDEF0, a functional modeling language building on SADT, and IDEF1X, which ...

IDEF3
IDEF3 or Integrated DEFinition for Process Description Capture Method is a business process modelling method complementary to IDEF0. Richard J. Mayer et al. (1993Information Integration for Concurrent Engineering (IICE): IDEF3 Process Description Capture Method Report Logistics Research Division, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433 The IDEF3 method is a scenario-driven process flow description capture method intended to capture the knowledge about how a particular system works.Patricia Griffith Friel and Thomas M. Blinn (1989)"Automated IDEF3 and IDEF4 Systems Design Specification Document" Technical report. NASA Johnson Space Center. The IDEF3 method provides modes to represent both * Process Flow Descriptions to capture the relationships between actions within the context of a specific scenario, and * Object State Transition to capture the description of the allowable states and conditions. This method is part of the IDEF family of modeling languages in the field of systems and softw ...

Structured Analysis And Design Technique
Structured analysis and design technique (SADT) is a systems engineering and software engineering methodology for describing systems as a hierarchy of functions. SADT is a structured analysis modelling language, which uses two types of diagrams: activity models and data models. It was developed in the late 1960s by Douglas T. Ross, and was formalized and published as IDEF0 in 1981. Overview Structured analysis and design technique (SADT) is a diagrammatic notation designed specifically to help people describe and understand systems.D. Marca, C. McGowan, Structured Analysis and Design Technique, McGraw-Hill, 1987, It offers building blocks to represent entities and activities, and a variety of arrows to relate boxes. These boxes and arrows have an associated informal semantics.John Mylopoulos (2004)Conceptual Modelling III. Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT) Retrieved 21 September 2008. SADT can be used as a functional analysis tool of a given process, using success ...

Integrated Computer Aided Manufacturing
Integrated Computer-Aided Manufacturing (ICAM) is a US Air Force program that develops tools, techniques, and processes to support manufacturing integration. It influenced the computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) project efforts of many companies. The ICAM program was founded in 1976 and initiative managed by the US Air Force at Wright-Patterson as a part of their technology modernization efforts. The program initiated the development a series of standards for modeling and analysis in management and business improvement, called ''Integrated Definitions'', short IDEFs. Overview The USAF ICAM program was founded in 1976 at the US Air Force Materials Laboratory, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio by Dennis E. Wisnosky and Dan L. Shunk and others.Charles M. Savage (1996). ''Fifth Generation Management : Co-creating Through Virtual Enterprising, Dynamic Teaming, and Knowledge Networking'' Butterworth-Heinemann, 1996. . p. 184. In the m ...

Information Modeling
An information model in software engineering is a representation of concepts and the relationships, constraints, rules, and operations to specify data semantics for a chosen domain of discourse. Typically it specifies relations between kinds of things, but may also include relations with individual things. It can provide sharable, stable, and organized structure of information requirements or knowledge for the domain context.Y. Tina Lee (1999)"Information modeling from design to implementation"National Institute of Standards and Technology. Overview The term ''information model'' in general is used for models of individual things, such as facilities, buildings, process plants, etc. In those cases, the concept is specialised to facility information model, building information model, plant information model, etc. Such an information model is an integration of a model of the facility with the data and documents about the facility. Within the field of software engineering and data ...
